THREE. FAVoRITEs IN FRONT

| Inkerman will have to be labeled ''has
| been"
| Eleven bookmakers "cut in" yesterday. Ed
Purser was new face on the block.
Ed Purser ''boosted" the price against the
bandit horse and backed him around the ring.
Bookmaker George Roses colors flashed past
the winning post first in two events yesterday.
Her Majesty is another of the get of that
| promising young sire, Imp. True Briton.
Speaks well for his efficiency.
| Lady Jane has been under the charge of
Tommy Lottridge, George Roses clever trainer
but short time, yet her good race.
Some brother bandit must have stolen Rey
del Bandido's speed away in the nighttime; he
didn't have it with him yesterday.
Contribution Royal Flush and Don Fulano,
the three popular choices for the last race, all
belong to the dickey leg'' division.
Tod Sloane rode the winners of the first two
races, Lady Jane and Her Majesty, and also
finished in front on Rear Guard, favorite for
the fifth race.
With thorough fnisher in the saddle the
| money would have gone to Charles A. and Low
dial would again have had to content himself
with second place.
Queen of Scots pulled up bleeding badly after
the finish of the first race. Grotto also pulled
up bleeding slightly at the conclusion of the
fifth race.
understand the owner of Flashlight is will
ing to match his horse against Flirtilla for
$4,000, at the same distance and with the same
weight up as in the Derby.
The horses of the ThornhiIl stable, consist
ing of Thornhill Pricelle, Ed Evatt, Tilne
and Red Bird, have been turned over TO the
charge of Trainer Mike Kelly
c. T. Walker, the popular Western book
maker, leaves tonight for Chicago. His part
ner Mr.. Hayden, will remain in California for
q couple of weeks longer Both gentlemen
were very popular in the ring and their ab-
sence is greatly felt
If Bellicoso beat Quirt on Wednesday, singu-
lar he couldn't repeat the dose yesterday. And
what great difference that one pound against
Bellicoso made in the betting. Quirt was 8
to chance, while TO ] straight and to l
place was laid against Naglee Burke's horse.
1t was a case of "up-sticks" at the track
yesterday, favorites taking three and out
siders in the betting three of the races.
The attendance was fair, and the ring
assumed an air of briskness and animation
that has been noticeably absent the earlier
portion of the week Possibly the re-
appearance on the scene of Colonel Dan
Burns gave renewed vigor to the game.
There were two extra lively betting
affairs during the afternoons sport, the
six-furlong handicap and the mile selling
race. In the handicap Lovdal was the
choice, opening at to 5 and closing
= a.
were loyal to the little mare, as usual and !
she went to the post second choice with |
threes about her. Charles A, at Is to /,
was not considered dangerous, and was the |
despised and rankest of outsiders. Rey |
Alta was once again backed down few !
points.
The field ran fairly well punched to the
stretch at which point Gree was leading |
Charles A length. Charles A soon |
headed her and, running strong, it looked |
impossible to head him. BY dint OF hard |
riding Covington passed all the others, |
and collaring Charles A the last twenty |
yards beat him out half length. In |
drive, Quirt downed Bellicoso head for
the place. 1t was very close shave for |
the favorite, and handkerchiefs were |
called into requisition after the finish, as
the air seemed bit sultry.
McLight was a pronounced favorite for
the mile race, going to the post to 5. |
NebuchadneZZar was second choice at 3 to |
2, but Jack Richelieu lost so many friends
by Thursdays run that skies were laid |
against him. Annette was backed from
tens to skies.
1t was a very pretty race, the horses run
ming closely punched to the stretch, where |
Annette fell out of it. Jack Richelieu and
McLight came down next the rail heads
apart and seemed to have the race between
them. The game little Nebuchadnezzar,
bOv racnnn6Qd n nd
heading the two big horses at the draw
gate won cleverly from Jack Richelieu by |
neck, with McLight but head further
away. The mile was run in LAZY.
The Is to favorite Lady Jane took the
open five and half furlong run, leading
almost from the jump, beating Nervoso
two lengths. Lulu, the second choice, was
a close third.
The start in the two-year-old race was
not the best in the.world, still the favorite
Rey del Bandidos run was a very poor
one. Going to the post 8 to 5 favorite,
he showed no speed whatever, and finished
where he got away from the post, fourth.
Her Majesty, a to 1 chance, running in
the colors of the Elkton stable, took the
lead shortly after the flag fell and was
never headed, winning by neck from the
Extract FLY. Don Cara was fair third
The fifth race was taken easily by the
even-money favorite, Rear Guard who
won by four lengths from McFarlane
Nellie G finished tired third.
The last race, over the short six-furlong
course, proved a 'twister" for the talent.
With threes about all of their chances, a
mint of money poured into the books on
Don Fulano, Contribution and Royal
Flush. Miss Ruth and Realization re-
ceived some outside play.
1t was hard race for the favorites, as
they never could get to the front. Miss
Ruth and Realization had the race to
themselves from the fall of the flag. In a
hard drive Jones landed Miss Ruth in
front by neck from Realization, on which
it looked as though Coady began to make
his ride too soon. Contribution was fair
third. MULHoLLAND.
