REDLEGHT.
BURNS HAD A GOOD THING.

When a sprinter of unknown breeding
on the dams side that has never been
known TO run with any degree of speed at
n distance further than three furloBgs
comes out and runs good race at six fur
longs the uncertainty of racing can readily
be seen.
Redlight ran this way at the Bay Dis
trlct yesterday afternoon. and although he
only finished in third place he caused the
bookmakers to lose lot of money.
The race, which was cheap selling
event, the last on the card, brought out
field of nine. Nellie was made an 10
favorte, while Greenhoek, Patricia and
Little Tough were next in demand at to1
each.
All the bookmakers acknowledged Red
lights sDTinting abilities at three or four
furongs, but thought he would drop dead
running six. Several of them laid go 10
against him straight, 100 to ! place aud
40 to l show.
placed their small bets on Redlight at the
quotations. Well, Greenhock won the
race quite handlly from Huguenoi, but, to
the surprise OF everybody, Redligat, who
led up the backstretch. was third INTO the
stretch and at the finish was batting with
1luRutUOL lUT btGCc uUEOl5. IAcH'l-ub III
isned third anyhow, and. therefore. the
chubbers were happy and the several
bookmakeTS sad.
A poor class of horses ran in the several
events. but as the fields ruled larger, they
proved interesting.
Colonel Dan Burns won several thousand
dollars on the first race, dash OF i've fur
longs. Out of the nine starters the talent
settled upon Mount Carlos as winner and
backed her into favoritsm.
Burns had North for q good thing, and
went through the ring and bet the bookies
all the money they would take on his
chances at 10 10 l.
The start, which was vile, saw the IA
voTiie Struggling in fifth position, Jack the
Ripper and Ida Glenn getting of a couple
oi lengths III front oil the third horse.
North, who got off none too well at that,
oVerhguled Glenn down the stretch and
beat her head for the money, she beating
Muunt Carlos half n length for ths piaca.
TEe maiden tbree-year-0ld event at six
furiongs brought out eleven plugs that
would bring little more than So apiece at
public auction. On paper it looked as
though they ought to make a dead heat of
it, but the talent wouldn't have it that way.
Angelo was all they wanted, and they lost
their money at 2 to l. Holly played a $50
piece on his plug francesca at 10 to !, and
Immediately a report was circulated that
The mysterious turfman was plunging on
her. Then there was lot OF hedging on
Francesca, and she went TO the post at
to !.
Angels and Connaught made the run
ming to the stretch, when Francesca came
on and won easily by length and q half.
Connaught beat Angelo half length for
the place.
Although the selling affair for a mile had
five starters ii was practically no race at
all. Motto and Jue Cotton outelassed all
the others, and of the two the talent fool
tshly made Joe Cotton an odds on favor
