The F'avOrfte Captured the Rich Fu-
turity Stake.
Domino proved himself to be the worthy
son of noble sire yesterday at Sleeps
head by winning the great futurity stakes
from field of nineteen competitors. He
carried the top weight, too. and was de-
laycd at the post nearly half an hour.
Besides this the track was heavy and
sticky. In short, it was just the day for a
light weight. but he vanquished all of them,
though one of them. Galilee. gave him a
hard fight for over furlong and was only
n head behind at the finish.
1t was the sixth of the futurity series of
races and the best Of any of them. 1t was
the richest, too. for the gross value of the
stake was 500. 665.
1t was divided as follows: $40 rs to Domi-
no and $4,000 to his breeder; IS, 1883 to Cali
lee, $3.50 to his breeder; 81, 667 to Dob
bins and $1,000 to his breeder.
The field was the largest that ever started
in futurity race 1t was composed of
Galilee. Joe Ripley, Rey Ell Santa Anita,
Rubicon, Weinberg, VIII Fonso. Fondo-
line, Fatality, Amer Prig, Domino. Hy-
derabad, Princess Aimyar, Appomattox,
Sam Lucas. Dobbins: Illusion. Jack Of
Spades, Figaro and Potentate. Those
scratched We're Aurelian, Lucky Dog, ST.
Julian and st. Maxim.
Domino was the public favorite, and
though nearly every horse in the race was
lie money. and as much as Z to wa laid
against his chances. Rey FL Santa Anita
and Dobbips were the next best liked and
supported i'm the books.
After a delay of nearly half an hour at
the post Rowe caught them all in motion
like a cavalry line and down went the flag
and they were off The ends of the line
closed i'm and the lot punched up in a sort
of funnel shape. Then Dobbins collided
with Hyderabad and knocked Overton, his
jockey, to the ground but he was not hurt
seriously.
Taral took Domino to the front at once,
holly pressed by Gaulee, who was running
like ghost. The others were Gathering at
their heels like drove of wild horses. The
race was particularly between this pair.
AT the head of the home stretch Galilee
took the lead. and Dobbins had his head on
a line with Domino's saddle girth. 1t look
ed desperate for the favorite for moment,
but the greatest jockey in America was
on his back, and he began riding him with
all his power and skill. Heel. hand and
whip We're used to such advantage that in
another moment Domino began wearing his
leader down, regaining his lost ground. The
instant he poked his nose in front of Cali
lee great shout went up.
In the last furlong Griffin used every en-
deavor to keep Galilee in the van, but il
was lilliputian against a giant. and Taral
outrode both him and McDermott and drove
the gallant Domino home under such a hail
of punishment that he won by a nose on
the very post
Griffin, by one last despairing effort, land
ed Galilee a head before Dobbins None
but the judges could tell who had won and
when Domno's number was hoisted on
high the most eXtravagant kind of
demonstration ensued. Taral was present
ed with 5000 by the Messrs. Keene As
MIR. Keene wandered across the grounds
after the race shaking hands with his
friends he came across Mr.. Croker and Mr.
Dwyer. Their greeting was most friendly
and cordial and their congratulations of
the warmest.
