The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-10-30

from the ground. He has been riding at Oak
ley, and will be seen in the saddle ere long.
Caliente, the winner of the third race, is
full brother to the Nevada stables Uncle Giles.
AS yearling he was small, but he has devel-
oped into ine-looking youngster.
Mr.. Grant, manager of Theodore Winters
stable. left for Reno last night to attend to the
shipping to San Francisco of the Rancho del
Sierra yearlings that are to pass under the
auctioneer's hammer next month.
Thomas Murphy, the well-known farrier,
formerly platter for Palo Alto Stock Farm and
E. ]. Baldwin, has been appointed paddock in
spector at the Bay District track, the position
formerly held by Ed Creamy. Mr.. Murphy has
long been identified with the turf, and should
ably fill the position to which he has been
assigned.
Hugh Jones, the well-known penciler, did
not cut-in yesterday. "Hughey" said he
thought he would stay down on the ground for
a few days to see if his luck, which has not
been OF the best lately, would change. After
the first race he remarked that he was glad he
did, for said Hughey: 'They would have had
my bank-roll'
| Henry Wendt, layer of odds, said that Fl Fl
chad never shown him anything in the East"
| and whenever he took a wager in on him,
Henry said his mind reverted to the subject of
Christmas presents. The race is said to have
cost him $1,000.
Sam Merriwether, who owns Pi Fl, won
$4,000 over the horses victory, and Abe Stein,
| who grew tired of bookmaklng won almost
like sum on the brown horse.
For awhile the bookmakers were afraid they
were going to get caught on another outsider.
In the second race Valiente was backed down
from 10 to % to 1, but finished third. Mr..
Marlborough was one of the horses support
ers, his coin principally causing the cut in the
odds.
At the conclusion of the races the stewards
held a meeting to further investigate the
| charge of buying up horse preferred against
Dan Williams and his charge, Jockey Cheva-
lier, by Abe Stein. Nothing definite was &C
complished, the investigation being laid over
until to-day. The stewards, however, decided
upon passing more stringent rules in regard to
the Jockeys room and saddling paddock,
which they will frame to-day.
There was nothing in the past race
record of Fl Fl, brown gelding, by Hi
dalgo, to convey the impression that he
would ever be the medium of killing"
but time works wonders, and the result of
the first race yesterday will linger long in
the minds OF some of the nine bookies that
were up on the block. The race was
seven-furlong selling affair with but five
starters. Ida Sauce was an even money
favorite, with Gold Dust warm second
choice.
In the opening betting Fl Fl was quoted
at 80 to l. When few struggling fves
and tens began going in on him the pen
oilers looked upon them as joke and
seemed hungry for more. At post time 9
| to l was still obtainable. The flag fell to
good start, with Fl Fl soon showing in
front, followed by Gold Dust. The latter
grew tired early, giving second place to the
favorite. The first five furlongs were rat
tied off at very fair clip, and as the
horses turned into the stretch the outsider
was still holding his own.
On the trip to the wire he tired badly
and looked as though he would like to
stop and take a rest, but managed to hold
on long enough to beat the first choice out
a length in 1:29s4. Gold Dust, who ran
very poor race, was distant third. Sew
| eral thousand dollars were taken out of the
ring over the victory. The rest of the day
! the bookmakers were very chary of play
| ing on an outsider.
| Of the six races on the card, first choices
were successful in but two. The chilly
weather drew out but fair-sized crowd of
! racegoers and the betting was light.
| Castanette, a full sister to Carmel, won
the second race, five-furlong scramble for
maiden two-year-olds, with ease from San
Marcus, starting a / to favorite. She led
almost from the drop of the flag.
Donahue's ride on Mic Nae, the to 5
favorlte for the next race. also a five
furlong dash for maiden youngsters, did
not please the critics. He managed to get
into couple of pockets and finished
second to Caliente, backed from to to
l. Whether his mount could have beaten
ha al g. L
| drew away in the stretch and won handily
! in :02L.
The defeat of Oakland in the mile selling
| dash was a most expensive one for the
talent. He was backed from 8 to to to
5, and beaten through Mcknight making
| his run too soon, added to an attack of
razzle-dazzleness in the stretch. Silver
led the field to the stretch, farming for the
wire with lead of two lengths, the favor
lite, who had been rushed from last to
second place, head in front of Tar and
Tartar. The favorlte soon passed Silver,
but was in turn passed by Hy by, on
which Riley, after being cut off and falling
back, reserved his horse for the stretch
and won cleverly by half length from
Oakland in 1 :4134 Tar and Tartar ran
| good race, finishing in third place.
The fifth race, at five furongs, for mem
bers of the two-year-old division, went to
the even-money choice Monitor, who led
little to spare from the Is to 1 shot Encino.
Cardwell, backed from 5 to l to IA to 5,
was beaten out for third place the last few
jumps by Suffrage, 10 TO chance in the
ring.
Pitted against Rosebud and Sir Richard
in the last race, over the full six-furlong
course, Morven appeared slightly out
classed, and he cut but a small figure in
the betting. The first two named sprint
ers opened at even money and your pick,
around post time the gray horse having
the call at to 5, with to 5 against the
Burns & Waterhouse entry. Rosebud was
first away, and, shaking Morven off after
going a quarter. won driving from Sir
Richard by length in 1:13-coast record
time. She carried but ninety nine pounds
in the saddle.
