The San Francisco call., 1895-11-03

and Happy Day all went down with the talents
coin.
Grady wore blinkers yesterday, and those
wno have been backing him in his last few
races are wishing that his trainer had dis
covered the fact before that the youngster
needed sun shades. He was certainly threat
ened with speed yesterday.
There was heavy play on Wyandotte in the
hurdle race, but either he or his rider, Kidd
had no speed, for he made very poor show
ing. He came here with quite reputation as
e jumper, but taking his performance yester-
day as criterion, IL must have been jumping
feed bills.
Joe E is peculiar sort OF youngster Just
about the time everybody expects TO see him
run fine race, he proves q disappoin tment
and when he looks outclsssed and the odds in
dicate that he is not considered in it, out jumps
the precocious young fellow and runs a rafting
race. He and Hinrichs could not handle their
oars well together yesterday, for he was never
in the hunt.
Californians always hungered for long
distance racing, and the fact that a mile
and-six-furlong race was the attraction on
the California Jockey Clubs programme
yesterday drew large crowd. Aside from
this feature there were six other running
events and the nine bookmakers had all
they could do to handle the coin. They ex-
perienced the busiest day for weeks. Few
long-distance contests terminate in such
peculiar fashion for the favorite as did this
trial OF endurance. A handicap affair,
Fred Gardner, who some days ago lowered
the colors of Claudius over a distance OF
ground, was assigned top weight, 110
pounds, and went to the post a 9 to 10
choice. Game little Flirtilla had second
call at twos, while Raindrop and Adelante
had quite following at Juicy odds. When
they were sent away Adelante started out
to make the running, passing the stand
the first time three lengths in front.
Before reaching the stand, along about
the furlong pole, Fred Gardner managed
to cross his legs and dump Macklin over
the fence, continuing on with his field.
Flirtilla had but to wait until called upon
by her rider, when she went to the front
and won easily, two lengths before
AGelante in 3:051l. Raindrop, who proved
a disappointment IN the race, was poor
third.
Backers OF the fayorites had their usual
hard row to hoe, but three out of the seven
choices managing to get to the judges in
front. One OF the hardest dumps OF the
day was made on Treachery in the two
year-old race, on which Macklin rode
waiting" race, and was beaten a CITY
block.
Cash Sloane's generalship in the stretch
on Oregon Eclipse, who appears to have
become acclimated, was too much for Nc
Intyre on Major Cook, the even-monev
choice, in the opening race, and the aged
sprinter beat the faYorite out three parts
of length in :01, going to the post s to l
in the betting. Myron, who made all the
rT1puiuU finished third
The second race, also at five furlongs.
resulted in an easy win for the TO 10
favorite, Sea Spray, who won handily, two
lengths before De la Guerra, a 5 to 1
chance. Modesto, who at one time in the
running looked winner, finished third.
Some heavy gambling was done on the
next race, mile selling dash. LeonvilIe
was 21@ to 1 favorite, but never figured
prominently IN the race. Model, the third
choice, took the lead when the flag fell and
was never headed, winning easily in
1:414, four lengths in front of Happy Day,
the second choice in the betting, who made
his usual stretch run. Navy Blue, a 80 TO
shot, made phenomenal run from last
position in the field OF ten, finishing a good
third.
By Hanover out of Deceit, Treachery
proved her unfaithfulness to the talent by
letting them down hard in the two-year-
old handicap over the short six-furlong
course. Grady-Grady with the blinkers
and to chance in the betting-led all
the way, and the nearest the fsYoyite got
