The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1893-12-02

hungry pee oilers think it fair 10 offer.
Blizzard was made most absurd favC rite
at even money and 6 10 5. there being alb
sOlutely no possible reason for so ridicu<
lousy short price about his chances in
so biz field and against horses who must
be considered in better class than the son
of sire and dam who were sold only a
few days ago for S45 and S25 respectively
The race proved a gilt for Greenhock,
who made a runaway affair of 1t and
landed few bets al the nice odds of Is TO
1. His owner was not out to see his vic
tory. being still confined to his residence
from an attack of asthma. April, 100 to
l shot. ran into the place. about which 40
to l was obtainable, while some clever
people had taken twelves about him to
show. Chevalier, who rode him amaz-
lDgly well. is most promising midget
and will doubtless be soon secured under
contract by some good stable. as he de-
serves to be.
Zampost, who had opened up at to 5
for the third race. was played to no great
extent, the cry being nothing but "Tigress,
Tigress, Tigress," and as much as to 2
could have been had about Schre ber's
colt at the close. He quickly, however,
ran into the lead when Mr.. Ferguson dis
patched the field to one Of his excellent
starts. and maintaining it to the end won
fast race by four lengths from the little
bay FLY, who was twenty lengths in front
Of the others, who were taking il easy far
In the rear, six lengths apart
The talent did not fare quite so badly in
the fourth race. The hot favorite. Ricardo,
II 20 and TO 2, went down, and Jovita
and Banjo, who had been well played at
all the way from threes 20 skies and sevens,
lost them their money. but there had been
very considerable amount invested on
BOrdeaux's chances at threeS, fours and 8
to 2, and be justified the support accorded
him by winning the only exciting race Of
the day by length from Banjo, who, the
weight telling on him, narrowly escaped
defeat for the place by Johnny Payne,
who was third, short head behind him.
Ricardo was not able to hold his own with
the aforementioned trio and Jovita at any
part of the race. Bordeaux and Banjo
both ran most gamely under punishment
The last race for maiden twO-year- olds
was about as open an affair as could be
imagined. very poor class being repre-
sented by the eight horses that went to
the post 10 the midst of fog that was fast
Obscuring all view of the track. At the
opening of the books Raphaels, who had
performed better than any of the OF hers,
was friendless at threes and fours, but for
some reason or other just toward the last
the talent seemed to look upon him as a
moral cinch from the way that money
went in on him. so that he closed from to
5 in some books. the ruling price being no
better than even money. But like his pre-
decessors in the afternoons list of favor
ties be was ANONYMOUSLY defeated by
Harry Lewis, and only gained the place
by the narrowest Of margins from De
Bracy. Nose Gunst's MOrven. who was
played to some extent, as indeed was every
horse In the race. ran away in the first
break and finished last lie the race. Harry
Lewis was well braced down from fours
to to 2.
This afternoons programme promises
some rare sport. The appearance of the
great Morello in the Santa Anita handicap
of one mile and quarter, for three-year-
olds. is an assured fact, and there is han
dicap steepiechase over the short course.
