THE BAY DISTRICT RACES,
OUTSIDERS WERE SUCCESSFUL IN
EVERY EVENT THROUGH
OUT THE DAY.
MAINsTAY A FAST SPLINTER.
ROSEBUD AND ARNETTE BEATEN
OUT BY REMUS IN THE MILE
HANDICAP.

The written portion OF turf history is
reminiscent here and there of the despised
outsider III the betting sneaking in next
the rail or coming like a thunderbolt on
the outside and winning the race. Yester
day happened to be particularly favor
able day at the Bay District for these de-
spised outsiders. Every race on the card
was won by a horse who, while he may
have had his partisans, was overlooked by
the major portion of the crowd in the rush
to back the favorite. The climax was
reached when Remus finished in front for
the mile handicap, defeating Rosebud and
Annette, both heavily backed. Rosebud
was an odds on choice, going to the post
to 10, with Donations mare equally we'll
played at to 2. Remus, the talent said,
had been fddling at country dances of
late and didn't have chance, although
sort of intermittent play caused his
price to be cut from to g. Rose
bud, next the rail, went out in
front, running the first SIX furlongs
Both Jones and Dohahue started in to
make their ride after they had swung into
the stretch for the wire. furlong from
the judges Sloane shook Remus up and he
passed the other two as though they were
two tramps, winning cleverly by length
from hOSeDuQ IN l.4lA. ATDeIle was
length further away.
The tive-furlong handicap, that was
number three on the programme. was
equally disastrous for bettors. Fannie
Louise, the Burns & Waterhouse entry,
was heavily backed to win at odds of 3 to
5, but she finished no better than third.
Mainstay, with to 1 about him in the
betting, led ell the way and won by three
lengths from Morven, against which % to
l was laid in the ring. The latter horse
was cut off soon after the start falling
back to last place, but came fast through
the stretch and beat the favorite out three
parts of a length for the place. The win
ner carried ITO pounds, covering the dis
| tance in 1:00sl.
The opening race of the day was another
of those five and a half furlong dashes,
with light welter-weights up, that have
| furnished such exhilarating sport for the
| shoemakers and cooks for some time past.
| Johnny Payne was originally carded to
win the plum, but Johnny had tit of the
| jim jams at the post and run away with
| Donahue so a general scramble took place
| to see who would get to the wire first Billy
McCloskey, to chance. won by a neck,
and Moss Terry, a 40 to l shot, beat Rey
Alta, Is to l outsider, a neck for the
place. Joe Cotton, the II to 5 favorite,
must have gone in bathing at the ocean
| beach without first donnlng his swimming
suit, and taken cold. for he failed to get a
scratch in such a slow run race as 10.
Could the first have been last and the
| last first, the people that backed Portugal
to capture the second event over the same
| distance as the preceding run, would have
| stood a grand chance of getting in line. AS
it was, he went into Starter Ferguson S
| hands to 5 favorite, but coud not run
| fast enough to keep up with himself, SO
| Flynn pulled him up. Tamalpais, at to
| l in the books. won by three-fourths of a
length from Navy Blue.
A mile selling dash ended the day
sport. Ransom was knocked down from
! 6 to to to 5, but he struck out also The
Duchess of Milpitas looked a winner as
she hit the head of the stretch in front,
| but Macklin hustled Uncle Giles along in
his convincing way and won a cleverly
ridden race by half length in 1:42.
