Domino's marvellous two-y -year-old record,
the greatest, so far as the amount of
money won is concerned, ever made in
America placed the Messrs. Keene at the
head of the list, while Mike Dwyer is Sec
ond. Richard Croker. the New York politi-
clan. is third. Mr.. Croker's wins were
made principally with Dohbins. Red Ban
ner aud Prince George. Yorkvilie Belle,
Longstreet ard Fairy, for whom high
prices were paid. did scarcely anything.
Fred Tara, who Is going TO ride at the
Blond-horse meeting, is regarded as the
greatest fnisher in the country. AS
jockey and Judge of pace, however. he is
not to he compared to Isaac Murphy and
some of the other cracks past and present.
He let's his mounts rate alonS. keeping in
as good position as possible and then rides
the whole race while coming through the
stretch. Tural takes about all out OF
horse there is in him. He is little demon
when once he starts after horse and NO
man can ply whip faster or more furious
than can he.
But there will be plenty nf other good
boys here. George Miller. Morris, Moose
Taylor and several good Western Jockeys
are coming out, and the men who bet their
money will not have 20 stand still and see
it burned up by the stupidity of some boy.
Last year the WeberS were regarded as
rion was due in great measure to the fact
that they were given all the best mounts.
This year it will be a good deal different.
There are plenty of EOrsemen who think
| that many of the local boys are better than
the Webers. One of them, Tubervlle,
out-classes Charley Weber as a light
weight. He is developing into one of the
strongest of fnishers, and is quick at get
ting away. Sullivan is quite as good
boy as is Johnny Weber, and there are
others not far behind.
The action of Ihe judges at Oakland
Saturday in changing the jockeys in race
In obedience 10 the request or orders of
bookmaker excited considerable comment.
I6 certainly would be diff cult to find a pre-
cedent for taking boy off horse he had
heen engaged to ride and putting him on
another. Moose Taylor Is about ien-
pound better boy than any of the others in
the race, excepting perhaps Tnbervile.
BY taking him off aud putting him on
No:mandie the judges gave that faint
hearted two-year-old a good chance and
looked very much as though MIR. Schwartz
thought Normandie was the only horse in
the race that could beat Hal Fisher. the
lively backed fayOrite. and wanted her To
have every chance lie could give her. AT
any rate the judges appear to be very
ready to accept any suggestion from Mr..
Schwartz. 1t is reported that he Is Ben
Wrighl's financial hacker in the enterprise.
Claude Burlingame, who was ruled off
OH Saturday for his suspicious riding of
Patricia, will probably be renstated to-
morrow. The veterinary who examined
the mare pronounced her as being sick,
which explains her poor race.
Starter Brown gave Moose" Tavlor
taste of the whip while at the post Satur-
day afternoon. The boy kept taking Nor
mandie out in front In spite of Browns
warning, and the latter, becoming lmpa-
tient, cut him with the lash.
Our Dick ut last got out OF the maiden
class by winning a race on Saturday. but
it took Morris, Baldwin's crack jockey, to
lana him first under the wire.
Pell, one Of the best-bred racehorses
that was ever raised at Pal0 Alto, ded sew
erai DAYS ago. He was by Monday, dam
POecidies.
Palo Alto will sell most of the thorough
breds in training during the early days OF
The Blood-horse meeting. Charm, Fidelio
and others Of the string now racing under
Tom Williams colors will be sold. Flirta-
tion is to reserved as a brood mare.
Mr. Williams contract for the lease Of
the Palo Alto horses he now has expires
on January l.
John Treat. the old gray horse. is back
at the Bay Distric: after couple of sea-
sons at New Orleans and the Eastern
tracks. He will start this winter.
III. d. Brown has never kept horse at
the post thirty minutes, and poor starts
with him are very few and far between.
just why 1t was necessary to go away from
home to secure a starter is not apparent to
most persons when such truly first-class
man like Brown is in our midst. The fact
is, however, that Mr.. Brown had not made
his bow as flag wielder when the Blood
horse Association engaged j. b. Ferguson
to do the starting at the fal!-wnter meet
ing. The officials did not know what to do
for n starter of reputation at one time, and
Ferguson was in position to dictate terms.
He would come if given the starting at the
contemplated 10O-day meeting, which be-
gins next Saturday. He was engaged and
was quite popular for a time. Since that
our racegoers have seen both Rowe and
Brown start, and the majority Of our
people favor he styles of the latter gentle
men, which are quite similar-the 'lluing
up and sending all away level, instead OF
to the flying start of Mr.. Ferguson.
There is no Disgusting the fact that Call
fOrnians favor the methods OF Messrs.
Brown and Rowe to the flying start of
Mr.. son."-Exchange.
