The princip attraction at the track
yesterday was the match race for $1,000 a
side between Clacquer and Border Lassie,
and it proved to be one of the prettiest
races from a spectators point of view
run on the track in years.
ClacQuer ran in the black and yellow
coors of the Undine stable, while Border
Lassie carried the red, white and blue of
a. b. SpreckeIs. The former had the best
of the weights. being a four-year-old and
carrying the same weight as Border
Lassis, a thres-year-old-S5 pounds; but
they proved to be very evenly matched.
From the time the flag fell there was
never over half lengths difference be-
tween the two horses. and when Claquer
flashed past the wire first it was by a short
half-leDgth only in the very fast time OF
59A seconds, dangerously near the hmeri-
can record.
All of the races were we'll contested,
Artists great finish in the last race being
a fitting finale to splendid days sport.
The days sport again opened with a
run for maidens. full six furlODgs. Flor
ence Dickey was again made favorite, and
at last got out of the maiden class. Wag
of the Kentucky stable was second choice
at 2 to l. Long prices were marked against
he balance. A tip was out on the Clara
ID colt, full brother TO Rey del Carreras,
but he finished bad third. AT the fall of
the flag Wag went out in front with
Florence Dickey at his heels, the others
strung out, and these two showed the way
to the head of the stretch, where Flynn
gave Florence Dickey her head. and she
came in an easy winner by two lengths,
Wag second, three lengths In front Of the
Clara d colt. Time, :14h
Eleven very fair selling Dlaters faced
the starterin the second race OF the day, a
seveD-furloDg selling affair. Ohiyesa on
his many good runs was made favorite, IL
TO being about his best price. Trix was
second ch oice at threes, but his chances
were destroyed by the start, getting away
nearly last.
The bookmakers posted long odds against
the other starters, Comrade, Motor, Rear
Guard, Faro, Charlreuse. MoryrD. LOnnie
B, Bridal Veil and Sympathetic's Last, the
latter being the shortest at fours.
1t was good start for all but Trix,
Ohiyesa, Morven and Bridal Veil leading
the bunch. Past the quarter Morven W as
making one of his skyrocket runs, but at
the half the favorite had again taken the
lead, and was leading past the half and
into the stretch, with MOrven and Char
treuse behind him, the others strung out.
Strengthened out for the wire Bridal
Veil and Sympathetic Last came fast, but
were uDaDie 10 overhaul the 1ay0rlte, VINO
won bandily by two lengths from Bridal
Veil. who was length in front of SYM
patheiic's Last. 1t was an excellent run,
1:26A.
The winner, entered for $500, was bid up
sos, at which price he was retained DY
his owner.
The match race between Clacouer and
Border Lassie came next. and proved one
of the prettiest runs ever seen on the
track and also the fastest Clacouer
opened up. in the betting to 8. Border
Lassie 3 to 8, but on going to the post it
was 4 to 8 and take your pick.
Both broke some distance from the
mark. passing the post head and head.
After going an eighth. run in :10A, they
were heads apart; at the three-eig hths,
made in :34%, Border Lassie's nose was in
front; past the half. which was run in AZ
seconds fat, Border Lassie was a short
head TO the good, and entering the stretch
she was leading half length, but at the
eighth pole 1som got Clacquer up on even
terms. the fast pace beginning to tell on
the filly, for Chevalisr was seen to raise
his whip, but the smart little filly had run
her race, and the chestnut finishing strong
drew ahead and beat her out q short half
length in 1894, the coast record.
