GCAI CA 10 MON THE DERBY
Captain Coster, Favorite, Did
Not Show
TONINO is MUCH IMPROVED
He Has Run Himself Into Very Good
Shape
Whitestone and Candid Finish Noses Apart
After Hard Drive Through
the Stretch


Yesterdays racing was good and the
attendance was large enough to make the
hackers of the meeting feel bit encour-
aged. The Queen ana her suite were
there. 1t was probably because there were
no parades down town that people went
out to the track. At any rate, there must
have been 5000 people there. The infeld
was lined with carriages.
Los Angeles people are not so very en-
thusiastic over horse races, but they
could not help getting excited over the
events yesterday. The finish in the last
race between milestone and Candid was
a corker. The good bay horse, ridden by
Felix Carr, the crack jockey, had to be
ridden out to win, and then he only got
the decision by the shortest kind OF a
nose.
That mile handicap was the best race
on the programme. Notwithstanding that
all but three OF the horses scratched out.
Whtestone. because he is such game,
consistent fellow, and because Carr was
up, received the public's support, al.
though lot of pretty wise money went
in on Candid With little weight off,
and a little on milestone, she looked to
have good chance. Little Cripple was
to /, with little Joe Weber UP. There
is the making of good Jockey in Joe.
He has not had much experience, and is
Il tritle light now but he has the knack
just like his brothers.
The horses got away together. Cripple
went TO the front and stayed there for six
furlongs. Then the others caught him.
Candid. although the pace was slow
enough for the first furlong. did not seem
to show any speed at the beginning.
Through the stretch she raced like the
wind. Coombs was giving her the bat
and she stood it gamely, Carr rode old
Whtestone vigorously, too and Candid
Just managed to get up to him. In two
more jumps it looked as though she wo1ld
have won, although there is no tell ing
how much Carr had up his sleeve.
The second race was the Fiesta Derby,
and the favorite. Joe McCarthy's Captain
Coster. was not one, two, three. Carr
took Cabrillo out in the lead and he staid
there the whole route. Coster went the
first part of it with his head swinging.
| Then he checked it up like an ordinary
dog. Sunrise ran gamely enough. and
beat all but Cabrilo. Heedtower was
rather surprise in third place.
Bernardo won the six furlong handicap
with Emma ID. second and Hymn third.
The latter showed that he was not tit for
hard. bruising race. He led Il part OF
the way but lost his speed when 1T came
to drive. Emma D., who showed lot
Of speed in her race with Tim Murphy
the place. Bernardo won rather cleverly,
though of course he could not afford to
loaf at any part OF IT..
Tonino. Baldwin S two -year-old, showed
that he was a pretty good sort in the
opening dash at hall Il mile. He has sim
ply run himself into form. There is APP
parenty no limit to his gameness. and
from his races it looks as though the
! longer the journey the better he would
like it. Hinrichs rode him pretty well
and won all the way. Lorenzo. pretty
fair FLY by Apache, ran second, beating
| Daisy X. Before the race people looked
for the winner in Lorena.
