The San Francisco call., 1895-11-14


81 McClain rode his first mount at the meet
ing on the II to 1 chance Navy Blue, in the
mile handicap, finishing a very creditable
second.
The win of Wawona came in the nature of
surprise to form players. His last race was
poor one, but it is possible he is not partial to
sticky going.
Easel was bravely backed at long odds to win
the third race, but was unfortunate in getting
the worst of the start She showed world of
speed and would undoubtedly have been
dangerous factor in the race with better start.
With his accustomed luck on fayorites
Hinrichs managed to get tangled up with all
the pockets it was possible to get into with the
to 5 choice, Caliente, clearly the best horse
by many pounds in the third race, so the
judges decided to put him ON the retired list
for ten days.
Thomas Murphy, the well known farrier, and
his partner, GLOUCESTER McDermott, thought
their colt, Walter J, soldered-up cinch for
the second race, bCt the youngster was unfor-
tunate in being shut off soon after the flag fell.
Mr.. Murphy was not discouraged at the colts
showing, but says that he will yet show the
son of imp. True Briton to be youngster capa-
BILE of taking shy at an American Derby.
With the coming of the Eastern visitors
the game at the Bay District, which was
getting very ragged, shows signs of i'm
provement. The racing yesterday was
good and the crowd the largest week
day one in many moons. But the favor
ties cannot shake off the hoodoo that has
hovered over them so long. All sorts of
horses with fancy prices against them in
the ring skipped past the judges in front
yesterday, Wawona heading the list at 80
to L. Of the six favorites Castanette alone
scored.
The third consecutive start proved too
much for Mt Roy the 211 to 1 favorite in
the opening race of five and a half fur
longs, VINO, after heading to the draw
gate, was passed by Last Chance, 81 to 1
chance, and be aten handiIy in the remark
ably good time of :07A.
A selling race for two-year-olds, five
furlongs, followed and was captured quite
easl lily by the even money favorite, Cas-
tanette, who got away from the post
fourth, but soon showed in front and won
by length from Don Pedro. Clara John
son, 100 to chance, ran well, finishing
third head away.
John Robbins scored winning bracket
preceding run, with his recent purchase,
the giant Don Pho Pico The Little Flush
filly made all the running and was not
beaten until the last few jumps, when
Cash Sloane brought the Don up with a
rush and nipped the race by nose. The
s to favorite Caliente finished in the
bunch.
The mile handicap furnished the sur
prise OF the day. Backed down from to
to 9 to 10, Model was played as though the
race was over. To fair start Eddie Jones
and 80 to 1 about him in the betting, and
thereafter it was case of catch me if YOU
can, the outsider leading all the way and
winning by length from the u to shot,
Navy Blue, who ran very game race.
The favorite was fourth
Another warm one was bowled over in
the fourth event on the card. Montana
opened at to in the betting, but from
force of strong play that was made on
Detective, cutting his odds from twos to
to 5, the Montana horse receded TO IL to
10. There was nothing to it but Detective
Tod Sloane going to the front with the
gelding and rating him along nicely, won
by length from Mamie Scott in the fast
time OF 1:13% for the six furlongs. The
favorite, who had been running in second
position the entire distance, was beaten
but a neck by the place horse.
The mile and a half hurdle race resulted
in hollow victory for the second choice.
0 c, who was splenddly ridden by J.
Johnson, and won galloping by four
lengths in 2:46. Auteuil took the place
just as easily from Lonnie B. Mestor, the
to favorite, judging by his performance,
needs a rest, for he made very sorry
showing.
