The San Francisco call., 1895-07-17


Jockey ]. Sullivan leaves tonight for Ogden,
Utah, where he will enter they employ of
Thomas Keough, the wealthy horseman of that
city.
Deadhead, a 100 to shot, in the opening
race, ran away with his rider, Riley. His show
ing of speed did not indicate him to be very
dangerous quality in the race.
Duke Stevens on his last run looked to have
a very rosy chance in the fourth race, but
Starter Ferguson's supply of patience must
have become exhausted by that time, for he
gave the Duke very poor send.off. He showed
world of speed in the race, but could not
make up the lost ground.
Jockeys Wallets at the track are now COM
PEELED to wear cap. bearing black band
stamped with gold letters, Jockeys Valet"
They were the cause of much sport down in
the paddock, and were adopted with a view of
preventing the Wallets from entering the bet
ting ring, against which there is a prohibitory
rule.
George Roses brown colt Boreas bids
fair to become stake horse, for as he de-
monstrated yesterday he is rapidly out
growing the selling platers' class. Starting
favorite in the last race of the day, mile
dash, he ran over the top of his field in the
stretch and finished the mile in l al, with
such ease in the face of a strong breeze as
to demonstrate his early graduation from
selling races for they will get to be risky
experiments with a horse of his caliber.
Commission, who opened to chance,
but went back in the books to 2 to l, fin
ished second to the brown fellow.
Ouly a fair crowd attended the races
yesterday, the light fields, poor betting
and cheap quality of horses that have been
starting of late no doubt having much to
do with this depression of racing in gen.
eral.
The favorites were bowled over with the
accustomed regularity, but two of them
scoring, and Starter Ferguson helped
weary the crowd with his rather ragged
work with the flag. The delays at the post
in the first two races were very tedious,
thirty minutes or more being consumed in
each.
at five furlongs, Arno seemed to survive
the racket at the post the best, and getting
away in front when the flag fell was never
headed, winning by two lengths from
Mount Carlos, the 8 to favorite, Johnny
Capron running in place. The winner
went to the post AZ to 1.
Notwithstanding c.. Weber's rough
usage of him at the post in the next race,
the half-mile dash for maiden two-year-
olds, the II to choice Don Pedro stood
the gaff gamely, and getting away second
at the start went to the front and was
never headed, although swerving badly in
the stretch. He finished first, four lengths
in front of Prince Hooker. with MoIlie
Bawn poor third.
Realization, who has not been out for
some time, opened up to favorite for
the Observation-Disclosures spin that was
fourth on the card, but receded in the bet
ting TO 21I to 1, the heaviest play being on
Silver State and Ricardo. The knowing
ones were badly scorched on the race. for
young Mcintyre assumed the lead with
Major Cook carrying but eighty-nine
pounds almost from the jump, and he led
the field a merry chase to the wire. winning
Chevalier got away first with the favorite,
but took him back, and was unable to get
to the front again, finishing third.
Mulberry was a lukewarm choice for the
fourth race, a six-furlong run, opening at
even money and closing at 13 to 10. Cheva-
lier got him away from the post poorly and
was not able to get him near the front.
Riding nicely judged race on Royal
Flush, who was backed from to 4 to 1,
Piggott had his field beaten a furlong from
home, winning handily from Road Runner
at II to in the betting. The latter ran an
excellent race, beating Charmion out half
a length for the place. MULHoLLAND.
