The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-07-13


will be but five days racing week.
| Trainer and owner Joe Mccarthy said Ber-
| nardo would win, sure, if he didn't bleed. He
| didn't
| Johnny Humphreys, who likes to beat the
| favorites, was laying $23 to 500 against In
stallator going to the post.
| A falling off among the book making frater-
nifty does not look as though money was very
| plentiful at the Bay District. The number Of
! pencilers cutting-in was reduced to seven yes
| terday.
Dan Miller's mare Charmion was sent to the
| post yesterday for the first time in blinkers
| Dan, who is very sweet on his mare, backed her
as usual, but she acted rank and would never
| extend herself.
"Doc" Turbiville, the California jockey, is
now riding for Green B. Morris, whose horses
! are racing asthe Oakley meeting. The young
lightweight is receiving very favorable press
notices for his riding.
| Chevalier had hoodoo day yesterday. He
| succeeded in landing but one winner, which
| hard luck was augmented by q $25 fine i'm
| posed by the judges for showing young Bryan,
| who rode imp. Ivy, how easy 1t was to cut
horse Off on q turn.
Judging from all accounts, both private and
| through the press, Starter H. D. Brown has
taken Kansas City by storm, and is upholding
| the high reputation he made in California as
starter. 1t is the opinion of great majority
| of the California race-going public that
! "Curly'' is destined to be the crackajack flag
wielder of the country.
When Eddie Jones took Monterey in next the
rail, shutting Roma off, the Van Ness colt was
struck and received bad cut on the left ankle
Dr. No.
him when Jones pulled in. The accident was
unavoidable on Chevaher's part, and cut
down boots probably saved the colt from being
permanently disabled.
Many thought because imp. Ivy had a stable
boy in the saddle the owner, w. C. de B. Lopez,
was not in search of coin, which was not the
case. Mr.. Lopez stated that the boy Bryan ex-
ercised the mare, and he was under the i'm
preston she would run better for him than for
q more experienced jockey. Exercising and
riding in races, however, appear. to be quite
different things, for the boy allowed himself to
be pocketed at the first turn and was never in
the hunt thereafter.
Ed Sachs, the owner of Tillie S, was very
much cut-up over the ride Piggott put.up on
Tillie S in the last race. Ed said his mare was
good, and he and all of his friends got aboard.
Piggott certainly showed lamentable lack of
judgment, for, told not to make the running
but TO pick good position, he got away well,
but began taking his mount back until when
something over quarter had been trayersed,
he found himself absolutely last from which
position to win was an impossibility.
Joe Rose, the bookmaker, had close call to
winning $500 from Johnny Coleman of the
Stuyvesant Club. During one stage of the bet
ting on the two-year-old race, when the odds
against Don Cara were steadily being cut, Joe
shouted out $500 to $500 Don Gara" and
was Immediately snapped up by Coleman, who
looked as tickled as a schoolboy that has just
snapped knives and got shade the best of it.
1t was not as sweet q to shot, however, as
the betting indicated, for Don Cara was given
the decision by nose in finish that looked
dead heat. Piggott, who rode City Girl, the
second horse. was positive that he nosed out
the "hot thing" And SO it goes.
The judges in the stand gave another de-
cision at the track yesterday on the last
race that caused deal of kicking. 1t was
mile affair, for which Remus and TiIlie S
had the call in the betting, the friends of
the latter mare backing her to standstill,
sending her to the post favorite at IA to s.
So numerous were her friends that Remus
receded in the betting from his opening
price of 8 to to 16 to at post time. Not
few accepted fives about Jerome and
Miss Garvin, while quite delegation got
down on Road Runner at the long ODDS of
s and 10 to l.
Sent away to an excellent start Chevalier
at once took Remus to the front, holding
the field all the way and entering the
stretch with lead of a length and half
over Miss Garvin, with Road Runner
fast-coming third. The latter very soon
passed Miss Garvin, and less than furlong
from home apparently had Remus beaten.
Shaw on Road Runner now began taking
matters easy, when Remus again respond
ed to his riders urging, and both horses
passed the finishing post under drive,
with Road Runners nose to all appear
ances in front, in the fast time of Al
After slight elaboration Remus' number
was hoisted, which caused a yell of Joy
from the brown colts packers, and howl
of derision from the supporters of the out
slider
If Remus' nose was in front, it was not
visible to bystanders located near the
judges stand nor to members of the press,
for from the press stand about as good
view of his nose in front of Road Run
ner's was obtainable as total eclipse of
the sun would be through a smoked china
platter.
1t was days racing replete with the
usual mixtures, ''good things" favorites
and outsiders getting somewhat tangled
up. Don Cara and Installator, the latter
at prohibition price, were the only pub
lie favorites to finish in front, and the
crowd had donation day to the men on
the block.
Little Bob, primed for killing" won
the opening dash of five furlongs very
handily from the to favorite, Ike l., in
1:0194. Ledalia, the second choice finished
third.
Wyatt Earp's good two-year-old Don
Cara carried barrel of coin in the two
year-old race, tive-furlong spin, being
backed from to 5 to even money. Luckily
he got a running start and it was needed,
for he was given the decision in what
looked like dead heat over City Girl,
to 1 chance, who ran grand race from
where she got away. Spry Lark who had
been the contending horse all the way, was
bang up third. The time was fast, :01sl.
