Four favorites beaten, slushy track
and lust little fog were the chief charac-
teristics of the opening day OF the week at
InpIeside Mud was always strong fac
tor in upsetting form on racetracks, and
Yesterday was no exception. However,
none of the winning horses were alto
gether neglected by spectators. aad the
members of the ring did not add greatly
to their bank-roll. The attendance
showed ell of the regulars at their posts,
and the usual number OF ladies' were pres
ent in the grand stand.
Undoubted the most popular win was
that of Barney Schreiber's gray gelding,
honest old Draw Scot, who captured the
second event at odds of Is TO l. From
the applause bestowed n. the conclusion
of the race, every member of the fair sex
on the grounds must have held ticket on
him.
Going to the post equal favorite with
George Palmer, owner Pat DUNES bay
colt Stentor led tie Spreckels entry from
start to finish, winning easily by half a
length in 1:0414. Mercutio, 200 TO l shot,
took show honors.
Receding in the betting from to to 8
to 5, the brown mare Candor led her held
in the second race over six furlongs until
below the paddock, where San Marco got
his head in front. Gardner on the latter
horse evidently thought he held the race
safe, and in his delirium of Joy was nipped
out nose by Draw Scot, who came fast on
the outside under I. Murphy's persuasive
riding.
The third event, at five and a half fur
longs, looked good thing for Pat Dunne's
Salvable, who was held at l to 2 over the
other four starters. Alyarado, backed
down a point from 4 to l, headed the long
priced outsider, Tonino, in the stretch and
passed the wire over length in front of
the first choice, who came from last
position.
The seven furlong run that followed was
run just about the way Midlo would have
ordered it could The gelding have ex-
perienced that pleasure. The field a.
lowed him to go out in the lead and open
up gap of six lengths, and he was never
caught, finishing nearly two lengths
ahead OF Strathrol, the second choice.
ridden by Willie Martin, who came from
back in the ruck. Imp. Miss Brummel
the IL 10 10 choice, was runner up to the
stretch, where she began to tire, finally
landing just outside of the money, behind
Wawona. The winner was to l in the
books.
The fifth event on the card was six
furlong sprint with a field of eight lining
UP. 1t was gathered in by Caliente, the
7 TO 10 favorite, who passed Alvero on the
far turn and fairly rolled in, reeiing the
distance off IN 1:162l. In hard orive
young Spencer got Favory over the plate a
head in front of Alvero. Encno was a
bad fourth.
1t looked as though the going would
about suit Scotch Rose with her reputed
bad feet and but 81 pounds in the saddle,
but after leading until well on toward the
stand she succumbed rather easily to
Geyser, the third choice. ridden by H.
Martin. Sepoy was distant third.
Notes.
The great California colt Crescendo will
in all likelihood never face the starter
again. In the early spring he pulled up
lame after winning purse race at the old
