RUNNING RACES.
Another Excellent Piece
of Handicapping.
Rey Alfonso, Motto, Catch Em, Hot
spur and Templemore Were
Yesterdays Winners.

One OF the biggest crowds that have yet at
tended the races was at the Bay District Track
yesterday and must have enjoyed The sport.
which was high class and exciting to boot.
The Handicapped gave another example OF his
ability in that line of work in his allotment of
weights in the fourth race, one mile and
quarter, which resulted In the three frsi horses
finishing heads apart Matt Storn's good ch, ST.
nut mare, Centella, who had TO put up with
second honors, ought to have won and would
have won IL the boy bad carried out instruc-
tions and not used the whip in the final drive.
Otherwise, barring taking her wide round the
far turn ana into the stretch, he rode her fairly
well, simply because he was obeying orders.
and had he only sat still in the last final effort
instead OF going TO the whip shr would have
borne him to victory by good neck.
The bookmakers must have had the best OF
the days betting. though. as has been pointed
out previously, it is hard to estimate thrir
actual financial position as regards this or that
days races, as they do not stick consistently
TO their legitimate business, but Will try TO
combine the two distinct roles Of punter and
penciler.
Iglllam Murray Warde sent out another of
the good colts he has III his string In Rey Al
1Onso. who won the first race. half mile for
two-year-olds, 10 gallant style IN The good time
of :493z which run on Friday would certainly
have been al least half second. if not more,
"Genneman George" as Jockey Miller is
saddle in this race, having the mount on A. B.
Spreckels' Gallant, for which he had TO put up
five pounds overweight. so hard is 1t becoming
now for him TO reduce. he was grerted with
quite an ovation as he canteTed past the grand
BIand 10 the post.
Motto and Midget both stood drive without
finching in the hve-furlong race, the chestnut
mare winning by length after game and ex-
citing race.
The favorite, Ragner. in the third race was
cut down by Catch En-, who also interfered
with three or four others, but ran well and was
bang up third after entering the stretch in
sixth position. De Bracv was only beaten a
length for first place, and would have pushed
Catch EN- much harder, IL he had not actually
wen. had he got of a little better.
The hurdle race saw only four horses face the
starter. the resul lay between Templemore
and Red Cloud. the form winning handlly
from Red Cloud, whom Bishop drove out for all
he was worth.
