The morning call., 1893-05-17
A FAVORITE WON.
1t Was Ronnulus, Formerly
the Beauty Colt.
JOCKEY JACKSON SUSPENDED
His Riding on Quarterstaff Did Not
Suit the Judges-Steadfast
Ran Peculiarly.

The threatening weather kept but few
of the talent from the Bay District yester-
day afternoon. The evidences of rain dis
appeared before the first race was called.
and the talent felt joyous.
Their joy was short lived, however, for
in the very first race their calculations
were badly upset 1t was fye-furlong
dash that brought out nine starters. Abb
. should have been the favorite, but as
few were willing to chance their money on
the riding abilities of Joe Narvaez's elder
brother Frank, they made favorite of
Mount Carlos, letting her go to the post at
Ito /. Joe Harding and Ida Glenn had
considerable support, the others being
offered at most any price.
Joe Harding and Mount Carlos made
most of the running to the stretch, wh9re
Abb 7. although ridden in very suspi-
cious way, came on, and won without urg-
ing by nose from Ida Glenn, who beat
Mount Carlos a length for the place.
The maiden race for three-year-0d at
six furlongs brought five to the post. The
talent. after lot OF figuring, settled upon
Connaught as winner, and made him a
fay0rile.
Sidney, an outsider, led around to the
last turn, when ClacQuer moved up, and
in the run home won with consummate
ease from COnnaught, who beat Sidney a
couple OF lengths for place honor.
The selling event at mile was another
which proved a Waterloo for the talent.
They played Holly's Steadfast for the
good thing he looked on paper. but were
sadly disappointed, as the colt. who should
have been fighting for the money, at the
finish WAS not tWO thraa
The judges should aave looked into his
performance instead of that of Quarter
staff. who the owner told his friends be-
lore the race was palpably short Of work.
Quarterstaff opened at 8 10 1, went
back TO to |. and when Jackson. after
riding him indifferently, finished third
with him the judges set him down for
week.
Farewell, who got off in front, led for
half mile, and then Red Cloud went to
the front. BE was never afterward headed,
and won as he pleased from Nero. who
fought out for the place with Quarterstaff.
The mile vas run in 1:43A, and Stesdfast,
who should have al least oeen among the
first three. ran like drowsy goat, and was
nowhere.
Charley Boots Brutns-Beauty colt,
whom he has named Romuus, was the
fayorte to win. He just galloped in the
four and half furlOng dash for two-year-
olds, beating Polaski and ViYace in the
order named. Valparaiso was In appar-
emily for work or 10 get beaten, and will
bear watching IN the next event for two
year-olds.
The two-year-oid jim Lee won the last
event, beating lot Of fair aged horses six
furlongs in l: 10 1t was a selling race and
Jim Lee, who was entered for $500, was
bought by b. c. Holly for S400 above the
entrance price.
Holiy's Happy Day, who was rather
high In flesh, was the favorite for the race,
but by stumbling badly just after the
start his chances were apparently ruined.
Volta, Regal and North cut the pace
Into the stretch, when Lee came on and
finished an easy winner by two lengths
from North, who did not have lot of
trouble beating Ha ppy Day for the place.
