ROBIN HOOD MONEY WAS BURNED UP.

Early in the meeting the Kentucky Sta
ble's chestnut gelding Red Pat surprised
the betting fraternity by galloping home
IN front OF field of maidens with II to
against him. Yesterday he repeated the
trick in just as clever manner, and at a
much more remunerative price in the bet
ting ring. Starting in the last run of the
day, rank outsider with 25 to / against
him, he got away in front and was never
headed, winning in a canter. Very little
money went in on him, the stable not hold
ing the son of Florentine in very high re-
gard.
Nick Hall plunged in hard luck in the
third race. He thought his gelding Robin
Hood II with 96 pounds up about right,
and with many of his friends had a good
bet down at the comfortable price of to 1.
When the flag fell to rather a struggling
start several of the boys momentarily
pulled their mounts up, not expecting a
start, but set in riding again as soon as
they saw the red flag swish in the air. A
humping match took place, and Cochran
pulling Robin Hood up, was left at the
post.
First or second choices won all of the
money in the different races, with the ex-
ception of the last
a race for non-winners at the meeting,
five and a half fur longs, set the ball roll
ing. Norman Brough's Prince Idle was
considered such good thing that he was
made to 10 fav orite, and one could get
even money and take the whole field
against him. Catalogue, the most eligible
- al cta A fN I in a
betting.
McAuliffe took the Nab FLY out in front
as the flag fell, leading until well down
the second hill, when Prince Idle and
Catalogue passed her. Prince Idle struck
the stretch to the wire in front, but in a
drive was beaten head at the wire by
Catalogue. Ike l. third, but three parts
of length away.
A slightly better class of horses started
in the next race, the distance being the
same as the first event.
st. Brandon was always the favorite, his
price huctuating between II to and 2 to /.
Sweet Alice and Chemuck were well sup
ported, but most of the Others went back
in the betting. Idaho Chief was in again
and had Griffin on his back, yet the to
against him did not seem to be very
Turing bait
Idaho Chief and st. Brandon were away
first as the flag fell, followed by Chemuck.
The two leaders had it nip and tuck to the
finish but St. Brandon showed the best
staying qualities and won by three
| quarters of a length. Chemuck was fair
third.
The odds had hardly been marked up
against the starters in the next race, a
selling affair at the same distance as the
two preceding races, before the man on the
block realized by the color of the money
that Immediately came in on O'Bee that
he was expected to figure very prominently
in the race, and he did. Opening at 6 to l,
Halls Robin Hood, with Sc pounds up, re-
ceived steady backing at 5 to l. and his
chances certainly did look very rosy.
Three Forks has shown himself such an
adept at the up and down hill game that
he was always slight favorite, with threes
about him at post time. Clacquer, with
Griffin up, had fves against him, at
which price he was well supported, but got
away from the post badly, and was never
in the chase. Sligo (who was held at short
odds), Joe Winters and Johnny Payne
were the other starters.
| Fully twenty minutes were consumed at
| the post in tiresome breakaways, the flag
| finally falling to badly jumbled up start,
half of the boys not expecting the flag to
| fall and starting to pull up. Robin Hood
| being badly bumped did not start at ALL
O'Bee and Three Forks, who were first
away, were the hares the hounds were
never able to get near, having the race to
| themselves. The former easily outfooted
Three Forks, winning by two lengths.
| Sligo was third, four lengths further away.
| The fourth event on the card, light
welter-weight race, seven furlongs had for
| starters Olivia, Blue Banner, Morven,
Major Ban, Eli Kendig and Jim Norvell.
| Major Ban was a to favorite, but cut a
very small figure in the race. Morven and
| Olivia divided favoritism for second choice
| honors, both having threes chalked against
| them.
| Morven, who got away from the post first
| as the flag dropped, led the entire distance,
| winning very handily by half length from
| Olivia. Blue Banner, who could not seem
| to get running until three-quarters of the
| distance had been traversed, came fast at
| the finish, securing the show by head.
| Nothing in any of the dope-book showed
| that Red Pat had any license to win the
| last race, but he scampered away with it,
nevertheless, with the very remunerative
| price of 25 to l against him. MAY Nc
| Carthy, who got out of the maiden class on
| Wednesday, it was thought could do the
| trick again, and May was sent to the post
| favorite at to 5.
| Centurion, who seems unlucky in getting
away from the post badly, opened favor
| tie, but was second choice at the else. Imp.
Sardmdttd, Win OHOIu up, mace Cle
| pencilers rather chary about marking the
odds against him, finally working to 2
against him. Later in the betting he was
| to 1. Alcyone, Miss Fletcher and San
Lucas won the other stakes.
| The start was a struggling one, the Ken
lucky stables representative, Red Pat, get
| ting away in front. Centurion, away
fourth, ran into second position and killed
| himself trying to catch the long shot. Pat
staid there to the end, winning in a big
gallop by three lengths. May Mccarthy
made up a lot OF ground, passing Centurion
and getting the place.
