Rey FL Santa Anita a Bad Last
in the Three-Cornered
Race.
DOMINO SET THE RUNNING.
OVerhauled by the Favorite Only
After They Had Entered the
HomeStretch.


Y, Sept. 1.-Ciose to 10000 of the turf's
best patrons were here to-day. The pro-
gramme was of high order, but the mag
net that drew the spectators was the meet
ing of the three cracks, Domino, Henry of
Navarro and Rey ell Santa Anita, at mile
and furlong. The outcome was to settle
the question of the best horse of the year.
The talent was stanch in its allegiance to
Henry of Navarro. Domino was second
choice. Rey ell Santa Anita had the con-
sideration of the Pacific Coast contingent
only. The big race was the fifth on the
card and Henry of Navarro opened and
ruled favorite throughout the quotations.
Riley Grammar went the rounds of the ring
with Henry of Navarro money. His big
gest bet was with Joe Ullman, who laid
him $4,000 against 900. When the flag
fell, the Western plunger stood to win
$4,000 on Henry of Navarro.
At the eleventh hour it looked very much
as il the battle for supremacy of the
American turf would not take place. Both
E. j. Baldwin, the owner of the Santa
Anita stable, and Byron McClelland, who
trains and manages Henry of Navarro, de-
clined to race their horses unless James R.
longer distances under similar conditions.
After long argument keene agreed to
sign articles to that effect.
Domino was somewhat fractions at the
post, but they got the signal to depart on
the second break. Domino bad the rail,
and at once settled down to killing pace.
He carried his rivals along at terrific
clip. He had a clear and decisive lead un-
til the upper turn was reached. Perkins
then sent Henry of Navarro up to him.
At the far turn Henry of Navarro and
Rey ell Santa Anita began to wear down
Domino's lead. AS they swung into the
homestretch Henry of Navarro was within
striking distance of Domino. The hopes
of the Californians were dashed at this
juncture, for Rey Ell Santa Anita was in
hopeless difficulties in the rear. Henry of
Navarro flashed by the post the winner of
neck. Rey ell Santa Anita was bad last.
The other big event on the card was the
race for the September stakes, and was
won by Nanki Pooh after a severe
drive with the odds-on favorite, Flying
Dutchman, defeating him by two lengths.
Counter Tenor came strong in the stretch,
and snatched the place from Flying Dutch
man by head in practically the last
stride. The time, 2:2l, is new track
