Rich American Derby.
REY Ell SANTA ANITA WON
Thousands Saw the Valuable Stake Captured
by Forty to One shot-Domino and
Senator Grady Were the Favorites. but
the Californian outran All the Cracks.

@NA
red sash and cap of Lucky Baldwin were first
under the wire. His bay colt, Rey Ell Santa
Anita. 40 20 l in the betting, won the race
easily by six lengths in 2:36, equaling the best
time ever made in the race. Senator Grady
finished second and Domino, favor
lite In the betting, was absolutely last.
Between Q 80 and $50 o'clock several smart
dashes OF rain came down, but they were
shortlived md in no way affected the track,
or had any result on the race. save to make
few bettors rush 10 put money on Rey Ell
Santa Anita, who is mud horse. Had there
been no promise of mud these bets would
never have gone on, as there was very few
who believed that Rey Ell Santa Anita had any
chance on good track against such cracks
as Senator Grady, Domino, and Dorian.
SENATOR GRADY OFF LAST.
The horses cantered slowly to the starting
post, where Starter Pettingill was awaiting
them. with grim recollection OF the trouble
caused him last year by Taral and Garrison,
who were mainly responsible for a delay OF
nearly two hours at the post. He warned
them and the other jockeys that there must
be no trihing. and after few attempts the
flag fell to a good start, all the horses being
well punched. Domino was away first. with
Despot at his neck, Rey Ell Santa Anita third.
The others were Jumped with the exception OF
Senator Grady, who was of last, and in bad
position.
Alcenor went out TO make the running,
and at the quarter was leading by length.
Domino second, half length IN front of Prince
Carl. Resplendert fourth, 0rinda fifth, Rey
El Santa Anita sixth, Dorian seventh, Despot
eighth, and Grady last. As the horses turned
TO come toward the grand stand they were all
punched close up against the rail, Domino,
Dorian and Grady being pocketed without
an earthly chance of getting through.
As they few past the stand Resplendent
collared Alcenor and led by length, Prince
Carl being third by head. Garrison here
got out of the pocket in which he ha been
held. and pulling Grady to the odtside, sent
him to the fourth place. The Senator was
running easily under a strong pull, and
seemed to have any amount of the racer.
Domino was running leisurely in fifth place.
Dorian was eighth, and Van huren had takena
strong wrap on Ray FL Santa Anita, and was
pounding last length.
GARRISON MADE BAD BREAK.
Just before the three-quarters was reached
Garrison made play. which in the opinion
of many lost him the race. He saw chance
to get the lead, and looming up on Senator
Grady he sent the brown son of Iroquois to
the front like flash. He passed everything
in front of him as though they We're standing
still. and then pulling over next TO the rail.
he kept the Senator going as though he meant
to make a runaway of it. Taral on Domino
and Van Kuren on Rey Ell Santa Anita evil
dently held this opinion. for they at once cut
loose and went after the Senator at smash
Ing pace.
At the mile Grady was a length and half
to the good and going like a scared dog.\ Rey
El Santa Anita had come up with rush from
seventh position at the three-quarters and
was second. head in front of Alcenor, who
was hanging on gamely. Domino was fourth,
half length In front OF Resplendent, Prince
Carl. Dorian. Desput. and Orinda in the order
named. the latter tirng fast.
After leaving the mile post VanKuren gave
Rey Ell Santa Anita his head. and the colt
began rapidly to close on Senator Grady. He
was at his flank. then at his head. and then
began to draw away in a manner that left no
doubt whatever that unless some horse in the
bunch could run past Senator Grady and
catch the leader the Der by was over. Prince
Carl came up to third lace and was half
length in front of Domilc. OF whom Taral
was now making every cnort.
Because OF the great similarity in the colors
worn by Van Kuren and Bergen. on Dorian,
the crowd thought the latter had the race at
his mercy, and loud and long cheers of do
rian! Doriani' went up, but Dorian was in
eighth place and getting ready to make his
run.
RET FL SANTA ANITA THE WINNER.
As they turned into the stretch Rey El
Santa Anita kept his place and opened up
daylight between himself and Senator Grady |
in = way that was heartrending to those who |
had money on Grady and Domino. He was
full iour lengths in the lead and drawing away |
at every jump.
Taral called on Domino for final effort, |
aad the colt responded gamely, but his time |
had come, and the horse which had never yet |
been beaten could do but little toward i'm |
proving his position. Despot came up with |
rush and passed Domino. Dorian closed on |
him and gained at every stride TWAS all up !
with Domino, and Taral, recognizing the |
TACT. pulled him up and galloped slowly in.
As the horses neared the wire Roy Ell Santa
Anita opened up six lengths. and had speed |
TO spare. Grady was coming hard. two
lengths ahead of Despot, who had come very
fast through the stretch. Van Kuren sat
leisurely on Rey Ell Santa Anita with his
hands down, now and then turning his
head to watch Garrison and Senator Grady.
Ihe Baldwin horse won by six lengths
pulled up, and with speed to be thrown away.
Senator Grady,Yh might have stood better
show OF winning had Garrison saved him for
the stretch instead Of calling upon him be-
fore the race was half over, was second by
two lengths, Garrison riding for his life to
stave of Despot. who was closing rapidly.
Prince Carl came fourth, four lengths be-
hind Despot. and the rest were strung out in
the following order: Dorian, Orinda,
Resplendent, Alcenor, and Domino.
Even after the race was over many people
supposed that Dorian was the victor, and
several attempts were made to cash Dorian
tickets. One man tainted when he was told
that his Dorian ticket was OF value Only as
souvenir.
The victory of4Rey Ell Santa Anita was not
popular. Few people had money on him,
no Wipfnr hnn nod \,
