The morning call., 1894-12-29
Track Notes.

Harry Hoffman was little dissatisfied
at the termination Of the Whitestone-Pes-
cador race and so expressed himself. Gran
nan to show his faith in the winner offered
to bet Hoffman $4,000 20 $4,000 Whitestone
the race over again inside of en- hour.
Hoffman concluded he had had enough
sport for one day and declined the offer.
1t was the opinion of most horsemen
that WhitestOne would have won easily
had the accident not occurred.
In pulling Draw Scott up after the finish
of the third race the horse stumbled and
fell and both ne and Carr received good
coating of mud.
Interest in the $4,000 Spreckels handi-
cap overshadows interest in all other
events on the card to-day, and speculation
as to the winner is rife. There will be the
greatest array of riding talent in the sad
die ever seen in race in California, Grill
fin, Perkins, Weber and Carr, the leading
lightweight jockeys of the country, all
having mounts.
While nearly a.. the form players and
handicapuers have figured it out ciDch
for the Kentuckr stables entries, some
even going so far .as TO place them one.
two. three, the fesrfully muddy condition
of the track al&ays leave a loophole
whereby an outsisier is liable to slip in
quarter is long Sdistance to ask two
year-old TO 60 on muddy track, although
they are nearly :three-year-olds. They
may run smashing good miles, but in
many cases the extra quarter has made
the wire seem long way off.
When the bell taps them out the make
up will be about as follows: Cadmus 123
Carr; Crichton l02, Coombs; Charmlon
no. n. Hill; Grandee 90, Cochran; Arti-
Gus 108. Noble; Glead 1T. c. Weber
Lissak JOG, ChOrn; jim Flood 80, r..
Isom; Major Mclaughlin 49, Hinrichs
Del Norte IS, Chevalier; Lovdal 116.
Griffin; Vassal 1913. Perkins; Hawthorne
11S. w. Clancy.
The field may be lessened by the scratch
ing of Vassal, but il is thought the owner
of Hawthorne has about decided TO let the
son of Jils johnson try for the money.
George Wheeiock followed Grammar
throughout the day, and at the conclusion
of the last race found he had more than
made his expenses to California.
