bunch on turning down the back stretch
he gave way to McLight, but in turn
passed the hooded horse on turning the
bend for home and was never headed,
winning by a length from McLight, who
ran superb race, in the remarkably fast
time of 1881. Del Norte, badly treated
by the Handicapped, made noble effort.
finishing a good third. Gilead, who had
been making all sorts of fast time in work
outs, ran like Guttenburg lobster" fin
ishing next to last. He went back in the
betting, the Sacramento contingent fight
ing shy of him.
The betting on the Del Mar stake, worth
$3.50 to the winner, was of the liveliest pos
sible description. Libertine opened at 4 to
5 and Terrier 8 to 5. AT post time the gen.
eral quotation was Z to and your choice.
Skies could be had on Victor and to on
Wheel of Fortune.
With slight delay Havey sent them away
in good order, the Wheel next the rail.
At the first turn Havey's mare was cut off
and Libertine took the lead followed by
Vinctor and Terrier. This order remained
unchanged to the stretch for home, where
Libertine was leading Vinctor by half
length, with Terrier about three lengths
away.
All now sat down to ride. with whip and
spur. Libertine soon had enough and fell
back beaten. Miller on Terrier drew away
and took the rail, and possibly this beat
him, for Sloan on Vinctor Rugged him
closely, and in the hardest kind of drive
Vlnctor won by head, with Libertine
three lengths away.
The betting on the California annual
stake with but three starters was not with
out some peculiar phases. Lucille, with
Piggott in the saddle, opened to IA
vorite, while to was laid against Insti-
gator, on which Coffey had the mount.
Suddenly there was a plunge of wise
money on the Boots entry, cutting his
price to to 10. 1t was then given out
that Miller was to replace Coffey. 1t was
but gallop for him.
Miller allowed Lucille, who receded in
the betting to to s. and Sam Leake to
make the running to the stretch, where he
gave Investigator his head and romped in.
In a hard drive Lucille was beaten q long
neck by the outsider.
In the betting on the final race, six
furlong selling scramble with nine start
ers, the bookies intended to keep what
they had raked in, and, judging by
the odds posted, there was little danger
of a clutch" Outside of couple of
starters it was 3 to and take your pick.
Tim Murphy, Road Runner, Nebuchad-
nezzar, Rear Guard and Rico carried the
bulk of the money bet. There was consld-
cradle delay at the post before Havey
finally sent them away well punched.
The race simmered down to a sprint be-
tween NebuchadneZzar, Roadrunner and
Bernardo, Hinrichs on the latter getting
the verdict by the narrowest of margins,
and Acknowledgements Just beating Road
runner for the place. The winner made a
remarkably fine run, getting away abso-
lUtely last.
Six furlongs; selling; purse s4OO.
