mile ever run Dy q tWO-year-O This
year he has started but twice, finishing
second 10 Booze at the California Jockey
CLUB meeting, and beating De Bracey,
Gussle, Road Runner and others. He
carried the crushing impost of l20 pounds.
and the winner had but l09 pounds up.
The race was run in l:434. In his next
start he was unplaced.
Charles a., by John A, dam Early
hose, by Luke Black burn, has started
but once, and that was on May lst, wnen,
with ITO pounds up, he won six and one
half furlongs in gallop by three lengths
In the good time of l:234. He is owned
by the Ocean View stable. On good au-
thorlty from Sacramento, it is reported
that he worked a mile with more than 100
pounds up over the inside track in Sacra-
mento in the good time of LAP. This colt
Is entered in the Del Mar stakes and
should give the elder horses quite race.
Wandering Nun. owned by Frank
Burke of the firm OF Madison q Burke,
and trained by Billy Appleby, WAS quite
good filly last year, but she has not
done anything wonderful this season.
Lovdal and The Mallard, both in the sta
bic of Colonel Dan NJ. Burns, have per-
formed consistently heretofore and should
be heard from. Carmel will be very
hard to beat ii her race at the Golden
Gate Fair is any criterion. At that meet
ing she met ana defeated Pescador, Nor
vim and The Lark, seven-eighths in 1:29
very handlly by two lengths. She had
nlnety-six pounds up.
Nelson, the one-eyed son of Duke
OF Norfolk, has been in Montana
all summer and in that country has per-
formed very consistently. Big Jim Car
land is training him, and if he returns in
good shape the others will find him a
likely opponent for the best
Romulus, by imported Brutus, has
been good horse in the past and will do
to bet on when he is right.
Among the older horses the field Will
not be so large as in the case of the two
contended by the pick of California.
n the sprinting races there Will be Joe
Cotton, North, Sympathetic's Last, Abi
p, Conde, Sam Mount, Annie Moore,
Romair, Motto and others.
North, owned by Bob Davenport of
wheel fame, has started at the Golden
Gate Fair and at Woodland. and has
shown that he will be dangerous in al
most any kind of company up TO about
three-quarters of mile. Joe Cotton,
owned by A. Ottinger, won last week at
Woodland, and he is liable to duplicate
his performance at the State Fair Abi L. :.
before the circuit started, was breaking
watches, but she has not done anything
sensational thus far in public since tue
"A
meeting though she showed form enough
to beat almost any of the sprinters, as she
beat Motto, Prize and other crack lacks )
when they were good. She will evidently
be fit to bet on. Sam Mount has won but
one race on the circuit, but in every race
he starts he is backed heavily by a certain
delegation, and it is very likely they will
be at Sacramento TO wager their coin on
the brown son of Ironclad.
COnn6 has DaPn "A UOO1 hnrSa I'm nj liS
races, and always is close up at the finish.
He is owned and trained by that popular
turfman, Orvilie Appelby, and will be a
formidable candidate in the sprints. Ro-
mair, the bay son of Argyle and imported
Rosette, has started but once since the
California Jockey Club meeting, and then
at Monterey in the Country Club races
two weeks ago. He ran second then to
Tigress, mile with ll2 pounds up, in
l:5l. Motto, the light-hearted but speed V
daughter Of Sir Modred, who holds two
records, will also be starter. 1t is ex-
pected that many of the most prominent
stables which have been racing in Mon
tana will come to Sacramento TO strive for
the money offered.
There are some excellent handicap
horses stationed at Sacramento, and they
should make good betting races and close
finishes for some of the Capital City's
coin. Among the horses which will be
weighted by the Handicapped will be
Blizzard, Cadmus, Royal Flush, Quarter
staff, Happy Day, lily by, Zobair. Sir
Reel, Pescador, Francesca and others.
Blizzard and Cadmus are from the
Spreckels stable. The former was pur-
chased from white Hat' McCarty last
June. Blizzard is well known to all turf
followers as being without doubt the
most consistent performer that ever faced
the flag in California. McCarty pur-
chased him from the Hearst estate, to-
gether with fifteen others. He took him
East. but he did not perform very we'll
until he was about to start for California,
when he won couple of selling races.
he was brought back to California and
ran three races before he got a place. In
the fourth start, with little Chevalier up,
he ran third TO Steadfast and Garcia. one
mile, in l:424. As good as 200 to | could
have been obtained at one time, A
prominent millionaire played $50 against
S400 on him for the show. He won it by
head from Jacobin.
In Billiards. next start he again fin
ished third to Steadfast. In his next
eleven starts, all Of them last year. he was
unplaced three times. This year he has
started twenty-seven times. winning six,
second seven times, third five times and
seven times unplaced. He started in all
kinds OF fields, and there was always a
good price against him. On March 22G
with 1l0 pounds up, he met and van
quished the speedy Zenobia, with los
pounds up, giving her two years: Mid
dleton, the crack sprinter, owned by
George Rose, with but l04 pounds up,
and Lonnle b., short three-quarters in
l:l23. He won handily. He also ran a
mile with III mp, beating Sir Reel lO2,
Royal Flush ll0, De Bracv l09 and 10
bair l20, in the phenomenal time of l:4I1
He has not started since, but from reports
received from Sacramento it is EXPECTED
that he will beat the track record up
there.
Royal Flush, in owen Bros, stable is
also very consistent performer. He has
started over thirty times, winning eight
times. His best performance was at the
recent Golden Gate Fair Association
meeting. where. with 1l3 pounds up. he
beat Pescador. Garcia, Francesca and
Carmel, a mile and sixteenth ia l:473
record time for the Pacific Coast. Pesca.
dor, with ll3 pounds, was a Very close
second. The mile in this race was run in
1891
Cadmus, by Flood. by imp. Cornelia
by 1Sonomy, has started but twice this
year, winning both events. In his first
start, mile handicap, at the California
Jockey Club, with l04 pounds up he won
in galIop in l:464, beating De Bracey.
Happy Day and Sir Reel. His next start
was in the California handicap. mile
and a sixteenth. He carried lO7 pounds
and won handily from Orizaba, Gilead
De Bracey, Happy Day, Sir Reel, Hy DIV
and Lovdal. He also ran the distance in
the record time of l:473.
Undoubtedly Sir Reel's best race was
at the California Jockey Club meeting,
he won at one and one-eighth miles
beating Hotspur with 109 pounds up
| Gilead with 10l pounds, Hy by with l0I
pounds, Candid lib pounds and Royal
Flush ll5 up. He won by three lengths
in l:563.
Zobair should not be overlooked by the
| wise ones. When he is in good condition
