The morning call., 1893-04-16

they enjoyed themselves.
When the meeting began it was sup
posed the Racine stake would be one OF
the most sensational events ever run on the
coast.
Yesterday it was run. but it was wholly
devoid of interest. Filtration, that grand
Wididle filly, who won the California
stake last week with consummate ease.
scared nearly everything ont Of the race.
Thornhill, Carmel and Jim Lee were ner
only opponents, and they only stayed in
the battle for second and third money.
Filtration, who was barred in the betting,
let Ihornhill, game son of Cheviot, go
out and make the running to the stretch.
Then Miller gave the daughter of Wildidle
her head, and she came houle an easy win
ner. ThoTnhill, ridden cut, was second and
Carmel third. The six fuTlongs were run in
1.l6A, so the stake will still be known as
the Racine stake, that horses time not haY-
ing been beaten. The track was slow. there
being lots Of loose dirtand sand on it.
The whole interest OF the day centered in
the match race between the Ariola colt and
RoSae. Match races always excite inteE-
est, and this one naturally did. w. o B.
MacdonOugh, the young millionaire who
owns ROsalie. thought the AriOla colt did
not beat her fairly when the pair met on
April i, so he proposed TO Charley Boots,
the colts owner, to let them run again for
cup.
The b1okmskers thought that the Ariola
colt would win easily, consequently they
lost heavily on the race. They laid TO 4
on the AriOla colt, and to l against ROsalie.
All the small DettOTS and many big ones
played the flly. so when she lowered the
cOlOrs OF the EimWoOd stock farm there was
great rejoicing.
Johnny Webber on Rosalje beat the flag
by half a length, but after few jumIs
the Ariola colt shot to the front with his
usual burst Of speed. He drew away from
the rest so easily that it looked to be all
over. When the pair passed the three
quarter pole the AriOla colt was leading by
length and half and apparently going
easy.
When the two Strengthened out for home
Miller was seen to draw his whip on the
Arula colt. 1t was all over, the represent
tative lof the Elmwood farm was in diff
cultes, and Miller's vigorous riding could
not help him. ROsalie came home Ike =
racer, and although her task was not an
easy one, she beat the c0t length, run
ming The four and half furlODgs in 56h
seconds.
When Webber dismounted he received
genuine ovation from the crowd. The
hand played Push Them Clouds Away"
Rosalie danced and pranced, young WeDb5r
smiled and bowed gracefully, men threw up
their hats and shouted themselves hOarse,

Brown, found that the public had tickets on
ROsaile calling for more motley than was

around the box for little while, until the

The race was simply romp for Re-
vnlver. He let Garcia, Initiation and Miss
Nalling make the running until the stretch
was reached, and then came on from fourth
position and beat Garcia easily in a.
Little Tough was third.
Holly was not satisfied with winning one
race. 50 he pulled down the handicap purse
OF $3.50 with E Rayo. his favorite horse. It
was at one and a sixteenth miles, and as Fl
Rsyo beat D,nerO so haBdily on Friday he
was made an odds-on fayorite. Almont
was the best thought OF of the others,
hermitage, Rsindrop, Sheridan and Al
lance being rated al long odds.
The start was one OF FeTgusOn's best, and
saw the horses off on about equal terms.
Almont, under orders, was raced right to
the front, and he led Hermitage a
length around to the half. FL Rayo was
third, 2 couple OF lengths back running
easy. Rounding to the three-quarteI pole
Almont fell back to third position. Her
mitage going to the front and leading Ei
Rayo half a length into the stretch. Clancy
gave E R7yo his head TO run home, and
passing Hermitage at the drawgate won
easily by three parts of a length IN 2:O2K
Almout was third, two lengths behind Her
mitage. The others weAs strung out Ike
mile-posts on a desert.

lilly from bakersfield, was tipped as a good
thing, and backed so peTsistently that both
went 10 the post at to 1. The Helen
Scratch FLY was another tip, and those who
back tDs sent her TO the post at 3 to l.
The flag dropped to a good start. Bor-
deauy was the first to show from the bunch,
with Valencia second and Belle Plate third
The order was the same 10 the stretch,
where Bordeaux fell back beaten. Vqlen-
cia and Belle Plate fought il out and in a
driving finish Valencia won by half a
length. The Lark was third, three lengths
back
Tie Helen Scratch FLY was badly ridden,
and with good boy up may do better in
the next race.
