"plotz," but found it difficult to get his
money on.
Piggott rode three winners : Heartsease,
Hueneme and Miss Buckley-and was second
on Tom Clarke and imp. Ivy. He is making
great strides up the ladder OF fame
Greenback Jr was heavily played in the first
race on reported workout III :4313, under
double wrap of course. He did not win, but
the meet is not over and he will do to bear IN
mind.
c. L. Mcdonald bet all of his available cash,
500, on his colt Hueneme; all straight. He
is very sweet on the brown fellow. Charles
Boots says the colt bears striking resemblance
to Domino, particularly in color.
L. A Legg the owner of Leon L, bet $50 on
the colt a odds of to 1 and said if he would
run up to his work he ought to win. The
brother to Panway, however. apparently does
not care to exert himself in race
Judging by the success he is having with his
small string j. Weber bids lair to prove sue
cessful trainer as he WAS u jockey. Jerome
has shown remarkable improvement since he
has been under Johnny's handling.
Frank Flesher deserves great credit for the
form Sympathetic's Last is showing When he
purchased the gelding from "Moose" Taylor
for 500 it was supposed he had seen his best
day, but his last two races prove him to be
very far from ''has BEEN"
AYter the races Johnny Humphrey said he
told Piggott, who rode his FLY Heartsease, to
win by seven city blocks if possible, he was
sick and tired OF those nose finishes, which
were invariably adverse to him. The last time
the verdict was given against the FLY Johnny
stated openly in very plain language that he
thought microscope might be valuable
adjunct to the judges stand; but one was not
necessary yesterday.
Reyerses followed on the trail of the
favortes at the track yesterday: and the
crowd, far larger than on any preceding
day of the week, was sorely puzzled before
the day was out. Bookmaker John Hum
phrey's speedy filly, Heartsease regained
her lost laurels in the two-year-old event,
being the only favorite on the card to win
out.
The sensational surprise of the day was
the victory in the short slx-furlong handi-
cap of old Rinfax, a reiuvenated member
OF the "magnificent cripple division, start
ing at odds of 9 to l. The betting on this
event was peculiar; an undercurrent plain
lv betokening the fact that the bookies
were on the lookout for surprise. Royal
Flush and imp. Ivy opened in the betting
equal choices at 211a to /, the former reced-
ing to 16 to 5, when light play again cut
his price to the original opening figures.
The same odds were quoted against the
Australian mare at post times. Reallza-
ton was firm with threes about him, while
the odds against Howard, Banjo and Rim
fax gradually lengtheneds
Frisky as yearling old Rinfax shot to
the front when the flag sent them away,
and gradually opening up gap of day
light won at the end by five lengths, eased
up, iu the fast time of 1:12H. Ivy was
second, ridden out, hag length in front
of Realization. Royal Flush was away
poorly, and never seemed to be able to
better his position.
After sizing the entries up the crowd
settled on Hanford to win the opening
race, mile selling affair, and he went to
the post Is to 5. Jerome S, Greenback Jr.
and Seaside were fancied in about the
order named of the other starters.
Green back Jr. made all the running
until we'll into the street, followed by
Raindrop, when Jerome came from the
far rear and won cleverly from Tom
Clarke, in :42H. San Luis Rey, at Is to l,
was third.
Heartsease. the to favorite for the
two-year event, q four and a half fur
long run, had but to raise gallop, winning
as she pleased from Leon l., an to l shot,
who barely nosed out City Girl at 10 to in
the ring.
The fourth event on the card, another
mile selling dash, was the occasion of an
other fayorite being showed under. Gar
cia opened up at 6 to 5, but such an ava
lanche of money poured in on Miss Buck
ley that the prace came down from 2h to /
to to 5, and Garcia's receded to to 5.
The light weighted tilly led all the way,
trailed by Garcia, until well Strengthened
out in the stretch, when he began drop
ping out of it, and Sympathetic's Last, the
third choice became the contending horse,
and a dangerous one he proved to be. In
a drive Eddy Jones managed to land Miss
Buckley winner by short half length,
with Garcia only fair third. The time
was slow :42A. Although Lady Jane
went to the post favorite for the last num-
her on the card, with twos against her,
Hueneme, the second choice. undoubtedly
carried the most coin at 5 to g
The second choice, half length behind
Lady Jane into the stretch, won by nose
in drive from Gold Bug, who made
fine run through the stretch. Lady Jane
finished good third. MULHoLLAND.
