Bookmaker George Rose flooded the ring
with money to bet on his horse Boreas in the
third race yesterday. He took down the money
after the race, but it was not the horses fault.
With Miss Buckley practically beaten by the
nag, Chevalier on Miss Ruth put up q ride that
was simply disgraceful if not criminal. Away
second, he let every horse in the race pass him.
ana then made bungling ride through the
stretch, finishing second on a better horse than
the winner. The diminishing attendance
shows that the public will not tolerate forever
the racing we have been having of late. and
they are not to be blamed. When fiilv of
Miss Ruth's caliber is beaten in I:191$ for the
seven furlongs there is q board off the fence
that needs mailing up.
The same Saturday crowd paid visit to
the Bay District track yesterday, possibly
barring few that attended on the pre-
vious Saturday and had not as yet received
their weekly remittance. The bookies
treated the talent with every hospitality
IN the opening event of the day, but after
that it was case of ''do, did, my buckle
berry," which, added to John MerrilI's
long delays at the post, made it one of the
most hungry, sorrow1ul, empty pocketed-
looking crowds that ever passed out through
the gates. Mer lls starting has been yerv
good. but if he himself would not be so
critical and would drop his flag to some one
OF the many good breakaways that occur in
the early stages while the horses are at the
post the public would not grow impatient
and his starting would command much
higher praise.
The first handicap of the day which
happened to open the card, a five-furlong
spin for two-year-olds, opened very auspi-
clously for the betting fraternity, for they
Landed on Perhaps, making him a 13 to 5
favorlte, and after delay of nearly half
an hour at the post, he got away in front,
and leading all the way won by length
and half from imp. Santa Bella at to 2
IN the betting. Her Majesty was a good
third.
The first real good hard bump they re-
ceived was in the mile and a sixteenth
handicap. Nothing but Charmion would
do and from to r she was hammered
down to to 10. McLight enjoyed the
position of second choice with threes about
him. Some few scattering wagers were
made on Mr.. Jingle, cutting his price
down couple of points from 10 to l.
When the field was dispatched, Garcia
went to the front, heading the field past
the half, where Charmion had worked to
the front and was heading into the stretch,
with Mr.. Jingle second. Less than an
eighth from the wire the latter had Shaw
at the bat on Charmion and in a mile
drive Mr.. Pickwicks son won cleverly by a
length. Little Cripple came fast at the
finish and was second, but half length
back of the favorite. McLight was promi-
nent until Strengthened for home. when he
died away.
Imp. Ivy fell into a soft spot in the Sec
ond event, a race for non-winners in 1895
at six furlongs. She opened in the betting
at to 5, but Silver State was such a good
thing, being backed down from IL to to
to B, that the odds against the Australian
mare went back to to l.
The handsome bay mare from the land
OF the Southern NCross won as she pleased,
length in front of Silver State. Little
Tough, to shot, was third.
After opening favorite at s to 5 for the
third race, a seven-furlong run, the price
against Miss Ruth receded to to 2. Boreas
was pounded down from to 1 to to 5.
Miss Buckley was well supported at Is to 5.
Boreas was away from the post first and
staid there, winning by length and half
from Miss Ruth, who finished five lengths
ahead of Miss Buckley.
Going to the post Z to favorite for the
two-mile hurdle race, April galloped
around in front of his field, winning as he
liked; but as his rider dropped his saddle
pad after going a mile and three-eighths
and weighed in two pounds short of
weight, he was disqualified and the race
given TO Nero, who, coupled with his
stable companion, Relampago, was sec
ond choice in the books at to l. Lonnie
B took second money and Relampago
third.
Following out the order of the day, the
2 to favorite Rico finished second to the
gray mare Nellie G in the last race, short
six-furlong dash. With to against her,
she was first away, and won in gallop by
four lengths, the favorite finishing about
the same distance in front of Road Runner.
