Ever UouN Stdlu III lONu W ste Tue
Fiesta parade yesterday afternoon and
consequently the attendance at the races
was very poor. There were some good
events carded, too, but the pageant
proved the greater attraction.
In view of the slim attendance, but one
book did business, but it got quite play
The booksellers also stirred up little
business.
The half-mlle for all ages brought out
six starters Reina dc Luna and Prince
Hooker declining. That left Hal Fisher
as the favorite, even though he was car
rying l24 pounds.
Old RinfaX, dicky leg and all. was
fancied by number of shrewd people
who noticed the old veteran $ race on
Saturday.
Although there was no fault to find
with the stayt, IL infax did not get moving
as quickly as the rest. He fell back a
little too far and although he came very
strong at the finish, Hal Fisher won al
most as be pleased. King shook him up
bit in the last furiong because Daisy
r., half sister to Patricia and Misty
Morn pressed him a bit. Fitzgerald rode
a pretty fair sort of race on Daisy r.,
finishing close up for second money. Old
Rinfax was only neck behind.
The second race at seven furlongs was
rather a hard one to pick, although the
betting public wanted to get all the money
on Pescador. He opened at > to >. but
was quickly backed to to s. at which
price he went to the post. Considering
ooked as if he was false favorite. Rain
irop was played some. and Laura B.
ooked 10 have good chance.
Mr.. Brown succeeded IN getting them
off in. good shape and Pescador shot out
in, the front. They never caught him.
the Raindrop she used to be. Besides
Pescador took it into his crazy brain to
run good race, and when he does that
it takes a mighty good one to beat him.
Raindrop secured the place easily enough,
but Tom Clark beat out Lonnie B. for the
show. Lonnie B. is another Sunday
horse. She can run a good race when
she wants to. Yesterday she apparently
did not want to.
1t was in the third race that the daily
upset came. Every body thought Tim
Murphy had it at his mercy, excepting a
few who knew that Tim is not any too
partial to more than five or five and a
half furlongs. Besides these clever peo-
pie knew that Emma ID. was fast enough
to run Murphy to standstill. even
though she killed herself. That's the
way the race PANIED out. Tim Murphy
L /
offered against Centinella and Blizzard.
Emma D. was 6. They all 90; off in
line. Murphy and Emma raced out in
front to the middle of the stretch. The
mare was beaten there, and every
one thought that all Tim Murphy had to
do was to walk home in the lead. Carr,
however, kept punching him along. Even
the vigorous riding OF taat crack Jockey
was of no use. Centinella came with a
rush at the end, and won cleverly by a
length, while Blizzard beat Emma D.,
who died off very quickly. The time
l:I4t4, was very creditable
Veva won the last race for 2-year- olds
easily. Linda Vista filly whipped out and
got the place from Baldwin's Tanino after
furious drive through the stretch.
Tanino showed great mprovemement
in form, while his stable companion,
Queen Lilly, was beaten nearly a quarter
of mile.
$500.
