CARR LANDED THREE RACES
The SpreckeIs Two-Year-0lds Were
Disappointment
Neither of Them Showed in the Speculation
Handicap at Four and half
Furlongs

There was fair crowd at the race track
yesterday, although by no means as large
as was warranted by the quality of the
sport furnished. The race at a mile was
a splendid one, and all of the events were
interesting, notwithstanding the small
fields.
Felix Carr rode three winners. One OF
them, Garcia. Just did get his ose, in
front. The other two. Blizzard and Fat
Murphy had easier times.
The public thought that in the first
race, II handicap for non-winners, Pat
Murphy with Felix Carr on his back.
should win, 50 he was made an odd S on
favo rite. Huenemc, Peters up. was at
to t. and he also looked to have a chance
at the weights. Hueneme ran II better
race than he did the last time out. but
Murphy also showed great lmprovem mt
and besides had the advantage OF Carr to
jockey him. The roam gelding went
right Oft in front and although Hueneme
chased him pretty hard, the black fellow
could not get up. lie made Pat run in
| 0ll3 Tor the five turlongs to beat him
through. Harry Lewis was an indifferent
third.
The second racew as the Speculation
handicap for 2-year-olds. There were
seven starters, including two from Spreck-
els stables, Ravelston and Plque. They
were made favorites at to 10, while Vera
was at and Tiny at 4. The others
were not much backed. Everybody
thought it was just like borrowing money
from your grandmother to play the
Spreckels pair.
70 good start Veva jumped away in
the lead, with Baldwin's Alvaro second;
little Joe Weber kept Alvaro going along
until the stretch. Then the three came
l.., l. +h.., No. ,.t
them ever caught Neva although had Ro
nero on Tim put up a half decent ride
he might have been nearer to the money.
The Spreckels' entries ran very diSap-
pointingly. Their bad showing was prob
ably due to their greenness. neither of
them knowing how to break away from
the post.
Linda Vista got the show.
The third race looked to be laydown
for Hymn. lie was at to 5. A good
many people liked Garcia Mt even money,
although on his last race he looked to be
q 20 to 1 chance. Carr hustled him right
along after Hymn and soon had that
faint hearted brute beaten. In the stretch
he looked to be winning easily, but the
Lark who had been under a drive all the
way around, came very fast. Carr just
won by nose. 1t was case of the pest
Jockey winning, not the best horse. The
time, | :15H. was not so very remarkable
Red Heal was hopelssly out of it the
whole distance.
The last race was a three cornered affair
at mile between Pescador, Blizzard and
Commission. Blizzard and Commission
were alternately backed at odds on, while
Pescadur was at 2.
Mr.. Brown gave them perfect start.
Pescador went out in front, his head
swinging, and it looked as though the
old one eyed fellow was going to land an
other race. They caught him at the half
L., L. all
over. Blizzard drew away and won
handily by two lengths in 147H, a mighty
good run for the honest old horse. q.
