The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1894-12-16

fell TO Ed CoTrlgan's splendid colt Senator
lrby, son of the game hit crippled Bishop,
who, on the day that mis- dashing son,
Racine, spreadeagied his field for the Cali
fornia stakes, was entered in a cheap SELL
ing run at Brighton for 500: But the
glorv of the victory belongs to Felix Carr.
for after certainly being on beaten horse
he snatched victory from defeat by su-
perior jockeyship. In the betting ring
Senator Iriy was the favored one. closing
at to 5 with all kinds of money on him.
Gilead opened at tn g. but wound up with
one hind leg in bandages and went back
in the betting until threes were reached.
Lovdal, the pet OF the Burns & Water
house stable, who should have had the
stake to his credit, closed in the betting
to 2. Dan Miller's good mare Charmion,
who at one time looked all over winner,
by Lloyd. POlaskl was the outsider in the
betting. At these prices The bookmakers
took in barrels OF money, the crowd evil
IDENTITY favoring Carr and Senator Irby.
Irbv's green colors headed the van as the
red flag swlshed in the air, and they
passed the stand with the Corrigan horse
d neck in front of Charmion, Polaski a
close attendant. Around the turn at the
quarter pole Senator Irbv was leading
Charmion half length. LovdaI half a
length further away, Gilead trailing last,
seemingly unable 10 untrack himself. By
hard riding down the backstretch LLOYD
managed to get Charmion in front and past
the half was a neck in front of Irby, Low
dial three lengths away. Around the far
turn Lovdal developed a surprising burst
of speed, and as the horses entered the
stretch the crowd was shouting "Lovdal
wins" and it certainly looked as though the
son of Wildidle had the rich plum in his
grasp. at this stage Of the game Charmion
held second position, Senator Irby length
N
face Sullivan surely lost his head IN the
stretch for, taking the worst of the going,
after looking ten-;ime winner an eighth
from the wire, 1rby and Charmion out
footed hi m the last hundred yards, Carr
by superior riding outfnisning Lloyd and
winning by short half length. Loydal
was but three parts of length further
away. Gameness and superior riding alone
won the race for the victor, for at the
weights TWO horses certainly should have
beaten him.
II Squeak" Allmark never rides another
race his finish on Floodmore for the LIVER
pool steeplechase stakes will be ridden
over and over again by stabIe-boys in
many around-the-stove chats during the
winter nights as one of the greatest
finishes seen in one of the most desper-
ately contested races in America.
The stake was worth S1lO0 10 the win
ner, and the entries were Flnodmore,
veil. The betting favored Floodmore,
with Ingot and Jim Norvell next in de-
mand.
Ingot went out in front and led over the
first two jumps. when Argenta forged to
the front and led over the alter jump, fol-
lowed by Ingot and Floodmore, Jim Nor
veil trailing In the rear. After taking the
fifth jump in front Argenta was passed by
Ingot and ss they raced down the bill
Allmark rode Floodmore furi0usly. and
over the sixth Jump he and InRot were
head and head, but going up the hill Casey
again got the game Argenta in the lead,
and over the last jump and into the
stretch he showed the way.
A rafting drive now began. Argenta
being compelled to rellnQush the lead to
Pat Meany's good jumper, who, leading
up to within $50 yards of the wire, looked
all over the victor. when he seemed TO sud-
denly falter. giving the lion hearted Flood
more, who was responding uDf1inchingly
to bis hard gruelllng, again a chance for
the lead, and. although Ingot came again
and was the stronger horse at the wire, he
WAS beaten out a neck. Mccullough, who
rode Jim Noryell, had evidently expected
the leaders to run themselves to death,
when he would come on and win. and he
came dangerously near accom- plishng the
trick. For alter his horse had trailed be-
hind. taking the jumps rather poorly. he
end and was Tapped on the leaders as they
passed the wire.
Coude, opening at to 8 and closing at
twos, gathered in the last race in clever
style from Gold Bug, who was heavily
backed and came like shot the last fifty
yards, being beaten but short half length.
Sweet Alice made the running to the
stretch. where she was passed by the W in
ner, and finished uppiaced.
