Sheepshead Bay Race Track. Aug. Is.
Though the weather was delightful
there was not quite as good a crowd at
sheepshead Bay to-day to see the Fu-
turity decided as was expected. Soci-
ETY. was conspicuous by its absence.
the season being more like Newport
than Sheepshead. The grand stand
was only comfortably filled with hol-
day seekers. The chief topic was, nat
urally. the Futurity, and many wagers
were laid early in the day Ornament
was the chief throughout and anyone
Offering two to one had to attend to
business. Rhodesia had many ad-
mirers. but the money came mostly
from the public and not from the
plungers Challenger had followers
and several good bets were made that
he would be ''in the money"
When the Futurity was called the
ring was a veritable beehive. Every
body wanted to get a wager down on
the chief event. Ornament was the
choice and every two to one offer made
was snapped up like a frog at red
rag. Rhodesia was backed by quite a
few who saw her last race at Bright
on. Some sharp money was also wag-
cred on the DAILY pair. Scottish Chief
tain and Ogden. There was strong
fancy for hte latter. On the others
there was comparatively nothing do
ing excepting a stray bill or two on
the Challenger They were some time
at the post and there were several
breaks. Ornament acted a bit badly.
The start was a good one. Ogden i'm
mediately showed in front with Orna-
ment and Rhodesia running head and
head. the rest all being punched. For
three furlongs they ran SO well bunch
ed that there was not a pin to choose
between them. At the bend they be-
gan to thin out, with Ogden still In
front by about half a length; Orna-
ment was second, Rhodesia heading
the remainder. A furlong from home
there was no mistaking which would
finish the first two. Stone was first to
go to the bat on Ornament, and he an
swered gamely. Jumping up to Ogden's
throat latch. Tuberville was riding a
splendid race. He steadied his mount
and drew his whip. It came down
only once. and Ogden nearly Jumped
from under him. 1t gave him a length
the advantage of Ornament He was
q winner from then on, but Tuberville
cinched the race by picking up his bat
again, and he was using II when he
passed the judges stand good length
and a half in front of Ornament.
The winner was cheered to the echo,
and when Tuberville was hoisted In the
floral chair, the crowd nearly went
wild. He modestly waved his cap and
jumped out to receive much bandshak-
ing and verbal congratulations.
The judges were confused as to
which horse won. believing that 1t was
Taral on Scottish Chieftain, and when
his number was hoisted there was a
shout Of surprise. The trouble was
remedied very quickly and Tuberville's
name was placed on the board as the
winner. The time. 1:10. is the best on
record for the Futurity, beating the
Butterflies by one second.
To have seen Mr.. DAILY at his stable
after the race one would have thought
the winning Of the Futurity only an
ordinary occurrence, and yet the
stable undoubtedly effected the big
gest coup In the history of American
racing.
Estimates vary as to the amount of
the stable commission. Conservative
judges place 1t at $4,000. As this big
amount went on at odds ranging from
IL to / down to 4 to /, II Is evident
that the stable must have made an ex-
traordinary winning. Half a dozen or
more men placed the commission. A
portion of II was intrusted to Bob
Rose. Apart from the stable a big
crowd of westerners who had come on
expressly to back the colt, deluged the
layers Of odds with money. Shelley
T,Htle, Barney Schrieber, Robert Rose
and other well known men from the
West were accredited with big plunges
As a matter Of fact the show of west
ern money was 80 strong that at post
time It was almost impossible to get a
bet on at any price. At the last mo-
ment, after the damage had been done.
the layers all seemed to be panic
stricken. So ratified were they that one
could scarcely succeed In getting a bet
registered about any Of the starters.
