The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-04-30


With any sort of ride Dara should have
won her race. Shepard still has much to learn
in the art of riding.
Stretch runners Jared poorly yesterday The
horse that went out from the jump and Sc
cured the path was the one that got the coin.
Ed Purser bet $1,000 on Thornhin as soon as
the odds were posted against him but later
put bet on Midas. The second thought was a
good one.
Blizzard pulled up very lame, but it is said
this ailment is always more pronounced when
the brown horse is entered in selling race to
be sold for S400.
After perusing few pages of chapter of the
dope book Ed Purser concluded to put few
stray dollars on Raphael, which proved very
profitable investment.
Notwithstanding the many outsiders that
won yesterday the majority OF the bookmakers
quit behind on the day. Hughey Jones, it is
said, was touched up heavily.
Wick Hall thought the fates very unkind to
him yesterday. He got as good as to l against
Sweet Alice and had a good-sized bet on the
speedy mare. For once she did not bleed, but
was beaten out ''whisker'' by TO I chance.
On top of this Vick's Tar and Tartar was
beaten out a head in the race by Blizzard.
Tar and Tartar ran greatly improved race
yesterday over the one he ran when beaten
four lengths by Rear Guard. That day with
Hinrichs up he apparently could not get to
the front the first part of the race, but yester-
day went out in the lead with the speed OF
eprinter. The St. Louis Garrison is wonder.
Yesterday was reception day at the track
for the rank outsiders, and the levee was
most pronounced success. Among those
that distinguished themselves during the
afternoon festivities were Raphael and the
little Alp Splinter Kathleen. The former
won the second race at odds of 80 to 1, and
the black mare downed Nick Halls Sweet
Alice in an eyebrow finish, with as good
as 0 to 1 marked against her. Old mixer
man and Blizzard were the only favorites
that met with success.
The track was heavy, with the exception
OF path on the extreme outside, and to
secure this was the bone of contention
among the jockeys in the different heats.
The card was an excellent one, made up of
sprinting and distance events, and that the
attendance was so light was surprising.
Inkerman, Dara and San Luis Rey were
all well backed to win the opening race, at
six furlongs, the former finally closing
fayorite at II to 5. Bobolink had the field
until turning into the stretch, when Chew
alier, on the favorite, secured the hard path
on the outside and he won by three lengths,
galloping from Dara. Reserve was a fair
third.
The second race, five-furlong scramble,
was run over the inside steeplechase course.
Joe Cotton was decided first choice, going
TO the post s to 5, with Sligo second choice
al to ?. North and Last Chance received
some support. At the last moment
RaphaeI's price came down from 80 to 20
to /
Sligo took the lead ascending the second
hill and led until the stretch hin was
reached, where he threw it up. Raphael
struck the fat in front with Joe Cotton at
his heels. In a drive Burns landed the
long shot first by half length. Sligo was
a fair third.
Most of the handicappers received a
nard setback in the mile race for three
year-olds and upward. Thornhill was
played for a moral, going to the post II to
TO- Some of the wise ones fancied Midas
and Malo Diablo with their light weight
up, and there was a heavy play on them
toward the close of the betting.
Malo Diablo, followed by Thornhill,
made the running until nearing the
stretch, when Midas came from third
place and took the lead. The latter and
Malo Diablo then had it ding dong TO the
wire, Chevalier on Midas getting the de-
cision by a head through superior riding.
Thornhill was good third.
Fourth on the card, a short s1x-turlong
race, ended in another dump for followers
of the favorite. Condo and Terra Nova
were both heavily backed, 9 to being the
closing price against each. Bob Isom, on
Duchess of Milpitas, the third choice, took
the lead entering the stretch and passed
the stand pulling up, three lengths in
In 1vTv- o. do hao No,
length for second place.
But the star long shot of the day was to
follow. The going was thought to be just
suitable for Banjo, and he opened an even
money chance for the fifth race, five and
a half furlong spin. He went back in the
betting to to 5, from the force of money
that was played In on Sweet Alice. Near
ing post time Kathleen S price was cut from
40 to 30 to l.
Sweet Alice and Kathleen were the only
ones in 1t from the start, which was of the
struggling order. Halls mare had a lead
of three lengths into the stretch, with
Kathleen rapidly closing up the gap. The
latter collared Alice near the drawgate and
the two passed the judges noses apart
Kathleen nose was the longest and she
won. Arctic was a close third.
The last race OF the day. mile selling
affair, was supposed to be nice breeZer
for Blizzard, who went to the post even
money. But he had to run, and run hard.
for in a drive he only beat out Tar and
Tartar. the second choice, a head. Bell
ringer, with so to 1 against fell into third
money. MULHoLLAND.
