The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-08-07


Sir Richard was again boosted yesterday.
Entered for $500, he was bid up $500 over
his selling price.
1t is quite evident that Jockey Hinrichs'
forte is not riding quarter-horses. On Tuesday
last his attempt on Red Dick was about as good
as hodcarrier's would be turning triple
somersault through a burning hoop in IS
cent circus.
1t is reported that this is the last week the
clever lightweight jockey Joe Piggott will ride
for W. OBJ. Macdonough. Charles Boots,
owner OF the Elmwood stock farm, is said to
have secured his services.
II. H. Hum, the popular gentleman jockey
who has had such success East this year with
the Hobart string, was visitor at the track
yesterday. Some of the Hobart horses will be
seen at the track after the Sacramento meeting?
While at the post in the third race, Green
back Jr. got within reach of those vicious heels
of the gray horse Sir Richard He received a
cut in one of his hind legs that will serve as a
good reminder in future races.
Toano, the old Eastern Splinter who has
been at the track for month or so, will proba-
bly, be o starter al Sac famento. The veteran
was once the means of big coup. He was
galloping.
Charles F. Sanders, the first of the influx of
Eastern horsemen that are expected here this
coming winter, arrived yesterday and was an
Interested spectator OF the races. He expects
his string of five horses, consisting OF Merritt,
Ransome, Schwitz, Jennie w and an unnamed
two-year-old, to arrive on Thursday.
Putting horses over the jumps takes
their speed away, it is said. Such is not
the case, however, with Ali Bahia, for after
a trial as "lepper" his owner started him
in seven-furlong race yesterday and he
cut up ''monkey-shines" with such horses
as Royal Flush, Charmion and Howard.
Royal Flush was a 4 to favorite in the
betting, with Howard and Charmion each
at tours, while as good as % to l was laid
against Ali Baba. The bookies took very
little money, though, at this figure, 10 and
II to 1 being the odds at which most of the
money was bet. The outsider was away
second when the flag fell, but almost i'm
mediately took the lead, and galloping in
front all the way like a stake horse won
handily from Charmion in 1:27H. The
favorite finished in third place. Some of
the pencilers who played gay with the ex-
jumper will be more cautious in future, for
he did not run unbacked.
Fear of free ride in the patrol wagon
was undoubtedly not without its effect, for
there was noticeable increase in the at
tendance, many of the pooroom habitues
returning within the folds again. Two
favorites, couple of "good things and
second choice succeeded in pulling down
purses.
Royal Spirit downed Red Dick a few days
IL l,,@ tt1rr aaA
tables on him yesterday. Backed down
from to 4 to 1 he opened up MS usual
"three-blocks" gap and won easily from
Addie NJ in :01k. Model finished third.
Royal Spirit, 8 to 10 favorite, finished
with the also rams.
With to against him, the strapping
youngster Charlie Boots made show OF
his field in the tive-furlong dash for two
year olds, winning pulled up from Joseph
Inc, a % to / chance. Cheripe, likely
looking daughter Of Three Cheers, was
a good third.
The gray horse Sir Richard put another
one over in the third race, short six-fur-
long spin. Starting l to 2 chance, he
was away badly to struggling start, but
headed the field into the stretch and won
easily in 1:13I. Ricardo, % to l shot,
was second. about three lengths ahead of
Minnie Scott.
The best race of the day, a mile dash,
was very open betting affair, Bobolink,
Bellringer, Charmer, Ike L and Miss Gar
win all receiving more or less support. The
race ended in a victory for Charmer, who
got away from the post nearly last was cut
off couple of times during the running
and finally won handily from Ike L in
:42%, a fine run. TIE Wildidle mare
opened in the betting at to 1, although
little money was taken at that figure, 80
and to l being the prevailing odds.
