THE BAY DISTRICT RACES,
The Talent Suffered Some Se-
we're ReverseS at the Track
Yesterday.
THE FAvoRITEs ALL BEATEN.
Road Runner Finished In Front Of
a Fast Bunch of Sprinters In
a Handicap.

The Flambeau youngster, Benham, was q
strongly backed second choice in the two-year-
old handicap, but ran disappointingly. He
showed speed at the beginning, but fzzled out
badly at the end.
Old Toano was well played in the third race,
but got so much the worst of the decidedly
ragged start that but little line could be had of
his present capabilities.
Little Pete was member of the delegation
that were in on the ''shoo' in the third race.
He had several commissioners placing his coin
on Model. If the race was to have been q
t'shoo-in" for Model, there must have been one
or two owners that were not in on the deal
Sport McAllister showed himself to be a
sprinter above the ordinary. He ran the five
furlongs under restraint in LODI and could
undoubtedly have bettered that time full
second. His former owner claimed the Sport
capable of running the distance in minute
fiat, and it is just possible than he can.
Some time ago Owner Mat Storm remarked
that when Easel became accustomed to the
colors she would show her heels to some
of the youngsters that were kicking
dust in her face at that time, and yesterday the
speedy daughter of Ben Ali fulfilled the
| prophecy. She reeled offthe first three-eighths
of mile in IS seconds. Mat bids fair to again
have as good a stable of bread-winners as he
did some years ago when he "Went down the
line'' in Montana.
In the string of Zeke Abrahams is young

to be heard of when he sports silk. His owner
purchased him for nominal figure at the Geb-
hard sale of yearlings, when he looked more
like piece of framework than horse. Turned

looking chap, with clean-cut legs and good
shoulders and is pronounced by Wilbur Smith
to be q counterpart OF that good performer,
Zobair, as q two-year-old. Zeke thinks he has
a coming stake horse and his opinion is shared
by many.
Some weeks ago Bookmaker "Billy" Beverly

attempted to annihilate the pencler.
for which little pleasantly he was
fined $3.50. considered by all turfmen very
light reprimand, as it would have meant ruling
off on any other reputable racecourse in
America. When Sport McAllister, who is
now owned by Williams, won Yesterday, the
bookmaker went down and bid the horse up
$500 over his selling price of $4O0, his owner
retaining him with the usual So bid. No casu-

track yesterday. A heavy frost enshrouded
the first choices. Beginning with the Lady
Leinster filly, who went to the post slight
favorite over the field in the opening race,
the favored ones in the betting suffered de-
feat in every race.
When the nine maiden two-year-olds
came out to try conclusions in the opening
event at half a mile, the Lady Lienster

fayorite, but second place was the best she
could get, for when the flag fell, Piggott
rush ed Easel to the front after breaking
away last and the others never got near
her. She finished two lengths in front of
the favorite with Ollie M a good third, COW
ering the distance in so seconds fiat.
The two-year-old handicap at five and a
half furlongs was considered such good
thing for Crafty that to 5 was eagerly
sought. He led Grady, whom he beat on
Saturday, until we'll into the stretch, when
the latter passed him and won easily by
length and a half in 1:08L. Perhaps,
quoted at 100 to l, was third, six lengths
away.
The wise ones received an awful Jolt in
the third race, five-furlong spin. They
backed Model down from 2% TO to evens,
and they are still wondering how it hap
pened. When the flag sent the nine
starters away to a miserable start, Sport
McAllister at Is to 5 in the betting shot to
the front and was never headed, winning
by length from Red Dick, who was q
head before Model.
In the next race, a five and half fur
long handicap, the California stable fur
nished another decidedly warm favorite
in Realization, who went to the post to 5,
and he also was beaten. After running
second to Red Bird to the stretch, he took
the lead, but was unable to stall off Road
Runner, on which Piggott came with
rush, and was beaten out cleverly by
length in LOS. Silver State was third, but
head away. The winner went to the
post to l.
Wheel of Fortune finally had her colors
lowered in a seven-furlong handicap, after
going to the post a to choice. Miss
Ruth carried her at fast clip for
three-eighths of mile, when she shook
her off and appeared to have the race well
stretch by Flirtila, the well-backed second
choice, proved unequal to the occasion
and was beaten out handily by half
length in 1:2724. MULHoLLAND.
