me loGftn race at the Island saturday
was simply rotten. There were enough
dead ones in it to fill a graveyard.
us good thing the Judges did not start
in to investigate it, as they would have had
TO set down SO many boys and rule so many
horses off that the racing would have gone
TO smash for lack uf material.
Twenty yards from the wire they were
all waiting Tor the others 10 60 On and
get the money. Airplant ana Mai. Nc
Nulty were apparently the only ones that
were alive and they went out and got the
money.
The setting down Of Washburn for thirty
days was an outrage. From the way that
Irish Pat has been monkeyed with ana the
in and out running that he has done It looks
as if The people who own him and not the
boys are responsible for his winning form
one day and losing the next.
If Washburn pulled him the day that he
rode him then the horse has had his
head pulled off by Nciry. As the latter is
always riding on the levelit stands to reason
that tie horse is either u very erratic
beast or he is monkeyed with before he goes
to the post.
OF all the boys at the -the-river
best so far as honesty is sconcerned- Herides
with vim that puts 10 flight any theory
that he is OF the strong armed clique
at the outlaw tracks.
The plan whereby the Island gets one
holiday and the st. Asaph track the next
gives Alexander Island Labor Day They
viii also race this week on Tuesday and
Saturday That leaves st. Asaph WcdDcs-
day, Thursday and Friday.
The card at the Island for to-day is good
one and viii no doubt draw out Il large holi-
day card. 1t is well filled but VIII likely be
considerably reduced by scratching. When
carefully doped it does not appear a very
hard card 10 pick, but those kindaTe the very
ones that send the handicappers home broke.
The opening event has fifteen entries
and is probably the hardest race on the
card Psyche and Dorcas L. will prob
ably have the call in the betting, but there
is one in the race who should give them all
a beating That is Jennie T. She has
not been doing much of late. but has been
working well, and if they try with her
should do the trick. Psyche VIII about
run into second place, with Dorcas L.
third
Halle Gay should have no difficulty
in winning the two-year-old event. she
has shown herself to be so superior to
the class that she Will meet that she
should win easily. Ncsta VIII about be
second. with Murray or Affinity third
Key West is about due to fall from his
high position. and it looks as if he would
meet his Waterloo to-day. He VIII, or
course. be a favoritc, but this will not
necessarily make him win. Atamdn is
the one to take a fall out of him # anyone
can, and should do SO to-day. Key West
has shown his great form at races under
a mile, and to-day's race will likely be a
repetition Of Saturdays Watch Charm
affair. Either Odd Socks or Billy Boy
will he third, with the chances in favor Of
the latter.
The fourth event is also a corker. There
are half dozen who appear to have
chance It's hard matter TO pick any
thing to beat Finnwater at the distance.
She therefore has first call, with Windgale
second and Renaissance third.
The fifth event at five furiongs will be a
good betting race, with Frank R. Hart the
favorite, and he should win. He is in great
form just at present and figures to win
sure. MorriSsey should about be second,
with Jersey third
Harvest should take the closing event into
camp without any trouble. Hehas rounded
to in good shape and as long as his legs
keep in any kind of shape viii be hot
member to beat. Padre will runinto second
place, with Mohawk third.
