ter was leading by a length, Domino sec
ond, half a length in front Of Prince
Carl, Resplendent fourth. Orinda fifth,
Rey FL Santa Anita sixth, Dorian
seventh, Despot eighth and Grady last.
As the horses uu ned to come toward
the grand stand they were all punched
close up against the rail, Domino, Do
rian and Grady being pOcketed without
earthly chance of getting through.
AS they flew past the stand Resplendent
cOllared Alcenor and led by a length,
Prince Carl being third. Garrison here
got out of the pocket In which he had
been held. and, pulling Grady TO the
outside. sent him to the fourth place.
The senator was running easily under
strong pull and seemed TO have any
amount of speed in reserve. Domino
was running leisurely in fifth place; Do
rian was eighth, and Van ,Kuren had
taken a strong wrap on Rey FL Santa
Anita and was pounding along last by
a length.
Garrison's Doubtful vi MDve.
Garrison made a play, which, IN the
opinion of many, lost him the race. He
saw chance TO get the lead ana. loos-
ening up on Senator Grady, he sent the
brown son of Iroquois to the front like
a flash. He passed everything in front
of him as though they were standing
STILL and then pulling over next to the
he meant 10 make a runaway race of 1t.
Taral, on Domino. and Van Kuren, on
Rey FL Santa Anita, evidently held this
opinion, for they at once cut loose and
went after the senator at a smashing
pace AT the mile Grady was a length
and a half to the good and going like
scared dog. Rey FL Santa Anita had
come up with a rush from seventh posi-
ton at the three-Quarters and was sec
ond, head in front of Alcenor. who
was hanging on gamely. Domino was
fourth a half length in front Of Resplen-
dent, Prince Carl. Dorian, Despot and
Orinda. in the order named, the latter
firing fast
After leaving the mile post Van Kuren
gave Rey El Santa Anita his head and
the colt began rapidly to close on SEN
atOr Grady. He was at his flank then
at his head, and then began to draw
away in a manner that left no doubt
whatever that unless some horse in the
bunch could run past Senator Grady and
catch the leader, the derby was over then
and there. At the mile and a quarter
he was three lengths ahead of Senator
Grady and running strongly. Prince
Carl came up to third place and was
half length in front OF Domino, on whom
Taral was now making every effort.
Because of the great similarity in the
colors worn by Van kuren and Bergen,
on Dorian. the crowd thought the latter
had the race at his mercy and loud and
long cheers of "Doriani Dorianr went
up. But Dorian was i'm eighth place and
getting ready to make his run
BnIdNin's Colt Too Speedy.
AS they turned into the stretch Rey
FL Santa Anita kept his pace and opened
up daylight between himself and SEN
ator Grady in a way that was heart
breaking to those who had money on
Grady and Domino He was full four
lengths in the lead and drawing away Al
every jump. Taral called on Domino
for a final effort, and the colt responded
gamely. but his time had come, and the
horse which had never yet been beaten
could do but little toward improving his
position. Despot came up with a rush
and passed Domino. Dorian closed
him and gained at every stride. 1t was
all up with Domino, and Taral, recOg-
niZing the fact, pulled him up
and gallOped slowly in. AS the
horse neared the wire Rey Ell
Santa Anita opened up six lengths and
had speed to spare. Grady was coming
hard, two lengths ahead of Despot, who
had come very fast through the stretch.
Van Kuren sat leisurely on Rey El Santa
Anita with his hands down and now and
then turning his head to watch Garrison
and Senator Grady. The Baldwin horse
won by six lengths, pulled up and with
speed TO throw away. Senator Grady,
who might have stood a better show Of
winning had Garrison saved him for the
stretch instead of calling upon him be-
fore the race was half over, was second
by two lengths, Garrison riding for his
life TO stave off Despot, who was closing
rapidly. Prince Carl came fourth, four
lengths behind Despot, and the rest were
strung out in the following order: Dor
ian. Orinda, Resplendent, Alcenor and
Domino.
Even after the race was over many
r1aOrIa h. ,,so
tor and several attempts were made to
cash Dorian tickets. One man tainted
when he was told that his Dorian ticket
was of value only as a souvenir.
Not Popular victory.
The victory of Rey FL Santa Anita was
not popular. Few people had money on
him and the winter books reaped an aw-
full harvest. Following are the horses
weights, jockeys and post odds on the
race:
Rey FL Santa Anita 122, Van Kuren,
40 to L; Senator Grady 122 Garrison,

Gen. w II. Jackson, who in partner
ship with Richard Croker owns the
famous Belle Meade, near Nashville,
Tenn, was naturally anxious to see the
son OF his great Iroquois win the race,
but after it was over, he said: II sup
pose the best horse won and l have no
excuses to make for Senator Grady, al
though / think that had Garrison made
less use of him down the back stretch
that he would certainly have been a bet
ter second
1T was a falsely run race" said Judge
Burke, "and does not prove anything as
to which was the best horse. Domino
was held out of it when he might bet
ter have been sent to the front where
he could certainly have set a heart
breaking pace, and Senator Grady was
not handled so as to get the best results
from him"
