The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-11-10
Centurion Paid His Backers
Well by Winning at Odds
of 80 to I.
VALIENTE WON AT LONG ODDS.
Shield Bearer Made His First Start
at the Meeting and Won at
Fair Odds.

Cash Sloane rode two winners and finished
second with Senator Bland. He rode a very
clever race on Shield Bearer.
The Judge, owned by "Moose" Taylor, is a
good kicker. While at the post he took dis
like TO Shield Bearer and made him aware of
the fact by kick on the flank that made quite
a cut, but did not affect his speed.
Mollie B, owned by John Robbins, was the
bombshell that exploded in the camp of race
horse hackers yesterday, and not without eff
fect-at least in their pockets. She was the
good thing of the day, and her race was q
fright.
Zeke Abraham's FLY Irene E, daughter Of
FL Rio Rey, is regaining her old form. She
started in the second race and looked all over
a winner at the head OF the stretch. but tired
and finished a close fourth. She will do to
watch in her future starts.
Abe Stein, who while booking some weeks
ago made charges to the stewards that Jockey
Chevalier was riding in the interests of certain
bookmakers, was unable to substantiate the
same with the proofs and the stewards de-
manded reparation in the way OF an apology.
Mr. Stein rendered his apologies yesterday and
that muddle is over.
There was nothing very enticing looking
events-the entries were light and there
was not much class TO the majority of the
starters, but they answered all gambling
purposes and there was no complaint The
racing was witnessed by very ordinary
sized crowd, but it seemed to be a mon
eyed one, for the ring presented a most
lively appearance.
Favorites and outsiders broke even,
three of each breaking the tape in front.
To Centurion belonged the honor of
winning at the most remunerative odds.
The Cheviot geIding was starter in the
mile handicap with 95 pounds up, but in
the rush to back Mollie r, Flirtilla and
the to 5 favorite, Annette, the fact was
overlooked that the going, which was
heavy, suited him, and he closed in the
betting at % to l. He trailed along be-
hind Annette until Strengthened away on
the stretch, when he responded to DON
nelley's urging, and passing the favorits
won easily by two lengths. F!irtilla was
g distant third. The winner did not
command much backing, and the result
was pleasant surprise to the bookmaking
fraternity.
The Owen Bros gelding Two Cheers was
delegated to carry the coin in the opening
race at five and half furlongs, closing 6
TO favorite in the ring, and leading the
entire distance was ridden out two lengths
before imp. Trentala, who was almost as
heavily backed as the winner.
a decidedly hot tip was out on Senator
Bland to win the five-furlong dash for
maiden two -year-olds, and he went to the
post to 5. In drive to the wire Valiente,
a 10 TO l chance, beat him out two lengths.
Franco, the second choice, finished third.
Bettors went decidedly estray On the
third race, another five-furlong affair.
Major Cook was heavily backed at odds of
to 10, and just managed to get inside the
Mnrvnn of n 10 hatt
with Jones up, led all the way, winning
cleverly by length and a half from Detec-
tive.
Shield Bearer, who was scratched on
Thursday, started in the fifth race, still
another iive-fuTlong spin, and pounded
down from threes to 9 to 5, led nearly all
the way and won cleverly by three parts
OF a length from Rey Alta, who swerved
badly the last sixteenth. Ross, the sec
ond choice, with Chevalier up, came fast at
the end, finishing closeup third.
The crowd got down good and hard on
J o G 10 win the mile and q quarter
hurdle race, backing him at the short
price of to 5. Gold Dust, with Stanford
up, went out in front swinging, holding
the lead for about six furlongs, when the
favorite passed him and won at the finish
easily by three lengths. The gray mare,
Nellie u, was poor third.
