The racing for this week, the last but
one of the Pacific Coast BloOd-horSe Asso-
ciation's meeting. promises TO be of even
better character than its predecessors,
indications pointing to larger number of
starters in the two chief events that are
down on the programme, viz: the QuiE-
Ian handicap. which is set for Thursday,
ard the Thornton handicap to take rlace
on Saturday. Handlcaps are always to
the racing man pure and simple the most
attractive turf events. There is something
to look forward to in the publication of
the weights allotted by the official handi-
ca pper, outside the interest aroused in at
tempting to pick the winner or the excite
ment in watching the actual race. The
weights for the Qunlan handicap, which
is mile and furlODg for thre e-year-olds
and upward, Will be announced to-day,
declarations to be made by p. NJ of the
day preceding the race. There are thirty
entries. The entrance fee is $40, and $50
additional for starters, the association
adding $1,000, $500 of which TO second and
$500 to third. so that If the Handicapped
does his work we'll a good field ought to
face the starter.
The weights for the Thornton handicap,
one and a quarter miles, for three-year-
OluS anu upward, entrance lee S1U an u SJU
additional for starters, should be out on
Thursday. There are forty-three entries,
and here too big field is looked for on ac-
count If the value of the first, second and
third horses. The association adds 5000,
of which the sum of $3.50 goes to the sec
oud and $3.50 to the third. Declarations
will close at P. NJ. on Friday. Just and
impartial handIcapping which will give. as
it should. every horse that is fit and well
chance of winning, will insure the biggest
attraction of the meeting.
The sand with which Superintendent
Fieldwlck had covered the track during
the past week having fulfilled the purpose
for which it was laid down, viz, to help in
drying out the track and make it safer in
the weak spots which the rain had found
out, has been removed and the Eastern
horses which, accustomed to the sort of
going that has prevailed during the five
racing days which closed on Saturday, and
thereby found themselves considerably
favored, will be meeting local horses on
more even terms, even that is for the last
named.
Moose" Taylor had the greatest num-
Der Of winning mounts. averaging one a
day. He rode in all sixteen times, five
winners, one second and two thirds. JOr-
dan, however, had better average, riding
