who attended the races at Bay District
today were given a rare treat from a
racing standpoint. The special event
was the Mclaughlin stakes with $500
added, the distance being two miles
and a quarter. Service was conceded
to have the race at his mercy and
was the hottest kind of a favorite with
Pepper second choice. Pepper, who was
cleverly ridden by Cochran, had no
difficulty in winning from Little Bob,
the Outsider.
Four favorites, two second choices
and one third choice were winners.
The weather was threatening, track
fairly good.
