Between 2:2O and 2:30 o'clock several
smart dashes Of rain came down, but
they were short-lived and in no way al
fected the track or had any result on
the race, save to make a few oettors
rush to put money on Key HI santa
Anita, who is mud horse.
The saddlng bell for the Derby rang
az 3:45, and the bugle calling the horses
to the post sounded five minutes later.
The horses cantered slowly to the
starting post, where Starter Pettinglll
was awaiting them.
After a few atte mpts the flag fell to
good start, all the horses being well
punched, Domino was away first with
Despot at his neck, Rey Ell Santa Anita
third, the others in lump. Alcenor
went ont TO make the running and at

AS THEY FLEW PAST THE STAND
Respondent :collared Alcenor and led
BY length, Prince Carl third by hean,
Grady fourth.
Just before the three-quarters was
reached, Garrison made play, which
in the opinion OF many, lost him the
race. He saw a chance 10 get the lead,
and loosening up on Senator Grady, be
sent him 10 the front like flash. he
kepe the Senator going as though he
meant to make run away race OF 1t.
Taral on Domino and Van Kuren, on
Rey FL Santa Anita, evidently had this
opinion, for they at once cut loose and
went after the Senator at a smashing
pace. At the mile, Grady was length
and half to the good and going Ike
scared dog. Rey Ell Santa Anita had
come up with a rush from seventh posi-
tion at the three-Quarters and was sec
ond, a head in front OF Alcenor, who
was hanging on gamely. Domino was
fourth, half len 9Th in front OF Re
splendent, Prince Carl, Dorian, Despot
and Orinda in the order named.
After leaving the mile post Van keu
rem gave Rey FL Santa Anita his head
and the colt began rapidly to close on
Senator Grady.
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 a
length in front of Domino, on whom
Taral was now making every effort.
As they turned into the stretch Rey
Ell Santa Anita kept his pace and opened
up daylight between himself and Sena-
tor Grady. He was full four lengths In
the lead and drawing away at every
lump. Taral called on Domino for a
Iinal effort and the colt responded
gamely out his time had come and the
horse which
HAD NEVER BEEN BEATEN,
could do but little toward improving
his position. Despot came up with a
rush and passed Domino. Dorian closed
on and gained at every stride. II was
all up with Domino and Tara recog-
nizng the fact pulled him up and GAL
loped slowly in. AS the horses neared
the wire Reg FL 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
Keuren sat leisurely on Rey I'll 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 better show OF win
ing had Garrison saved him for stretch
instead OF calling upon him before the
race was half over, was second by two
lengths, Garrison riding for his life TO
stave of Despot, who was closing rapid
Iy. Prince Carl came fourth, four
lengths behind Despot, and the rest
were strung out in the following order:
Dorian, Orinda, Resplendent, AlcenOr
and Domino. The victory Of Rey FL
Santa Anito was not popular Few
people had money on him and
THE BOOKS REAPED AN AWFUL HARVEST
Fred Taral, who rode the hitherto
unbeaten Domino, said: domino
should have won. The pace was slow
and we were all running on top OF each
other. The horse was rank, and ! had
orders to set no pace, but hold back
and come hard at the finish. AS a re-
suit, | had to choke the colt almost TO
death. had a terrible time with him.
When too late, | saw that he was not
In it with the other horses.
LOST A GOOD DEAL OF GROUND
while holding him in check and mad
the pace been faster the result would
have been different My orders were
not TO 90 out, but play a waiting game.
II had had my way l would have
taken him out al the start and then !
would have one surely"
Snapper" Garrison was satisfied with
his ride on Senator Grady.
81 have not much 10 say" he said.
'In my opinion the best horse won. l
was satisfied that he could do the course
in 1861. 1t was cinch that / had all
OF the eastern horses beaten. The only
horse feared vas Despot. 1t was
good race, and the California entry woa
because he was the best horse"
Jockey Will Van Keuren, who piloted
Rey FL Santa Anita TO victory, said:
II was riding easy all the way. l
could not get through until the three
quarter pole was reached. l was GER
tain all along that would win. ! made
my run In the last half and won easily.
l 90 not think that it would have made
any difference TO the colt il ths pace
had been faster. There were only two
horses in the race that l was afraid Of.
They were Senator Grady and Domino.
l felt certain that Rey FL Santa Anita
could beat all the western entries, and
was surprised that Domino ran such a
poor race"
