is d pretty good record for one horse. be-
sides third money in another stake. But
that is Just what old Blizzard has done.
He started out by betting Whitestone in
the Newton handicap. Then he ran third
to Centnella and Tim Murphy in five
furlopg dash. On Thursday he beat Com
mission as he pleased in mile handi-
cap, and yesterday he went out with in
creased weight and tincanned away fr ON
Candid as though the black mare was in
a trance That's the kind of horse Biz :
zaru is, and with all his campaigning he
is probably better now than he ever was
in his life before.
Just here it may be of some interest to
recall the little horse trade that che Nc
Carthys made with Mr. Spreckels some
months ago. Blizzard and Bridal Veil
both belonged to Mccarthy some time
ago and when the former showed to be
such good horse last winter Mr.. Spreck-
els added him to his string. But Blizzard
in Mr.. Mulkey's hands was disappoint-
ment. and so Mr.. Spreckels traded him for
Bridal Veil Now Bridal Veil is practi-
cally broken down while Blizzard is win
ming stakes. The McCarthys always were
lucky. though
Yesterdays programme was entirely too
good for the patronage it received. This
meeting has effectually demonstrated that
the Los Angeles public is not fond of
horse racing. Nothing can be said against
the quality of the sport. The only thing
lacking was the patronage which was GER
tainly deserved.
1t is probable that the syndicate having
the races IN charge will lose about $4,000
on the venture.
The first race on the card had seven
starters. 1t was at five furlongs for nom
winners at the meeting. Emma D.. an
even money favorte. jumped off and won
as she liked. Harry Lewis ran good
race and finished second. Hyman showed
the dog in his makeup and finished third.
The second race resulted in an upset
1t was handicap at four and half fur
ongs. Tim Murphy was freighted with
132 pounds, but in spite OF that impost
he was an odds on favorite. Morven and
Pat Murphy were at 6 to and to 9,
while nobody fanced Hal Fisher, who
was at 5 to l..
Mr.. Brown gave them a good sendoff.
Johnnie Weber could not get Tim going
at the first. and Hal Fisher. with great
burst of speed. went to the front. Morven
was off trifie badly. but ran like the
Murphy. who had soon cut down Fishers
lead Through the stretch it was ding
dong, but Pat landed winner nose, with
Morven in the place. Tim Murphy was
placed third. but there was not more
than five inches separating all three of
them. The time, :54L. is within one
fourth of a second of the record
Little Cripple had no trouble at all in
landing the mile handicap. although
turning in the stretch it looked as though
Sunrise ran very disappointing race.
Then came the Citrus belt. Blizzard
opened at to 10 with Candid even. The
public wanted the black mare and soon
her price was cut to odds on, while
Blizzard went back to even. Centnella
WI od IN oh Mt ba
weights, had her owners put up good
boy, was at post time with Garcia 10.
Candid fell out of it the first part, but
going up the back stretch closed up the
gap. Everybody thought she was going
to have a cake walk, but Blizzard kept
rolling along and when Hinrichs called
on him he walked in with Candid two
lengths behind. Centinella, in spite of a
very ragged ride, was third.
The last race at five and half furlongs,
went to Rafael, the odds on favorite.
Walter Maben's stable got the first money
at the meeting by running second with
Red Head.
