SACRAMENTO. CAL, Sept. 1S.-The
fact that Bookmaker George Roses great
| three-year-old Ruinart and the record
breaking Vinctor were 10 try conclusions
at mile attracted another big crowd to
Agricultural Park to-day. Interest was
chiefly centered in this event, and there
was some heavy wagering on the race.
The opening betting favored Ruinart st
odds of to 5, with to 10 chalked against
the Brutus horse. The only other starter,
Grady, was a 80 to l shot. The race as
run proved Vinctor to be many pounds
from his best form. Both horses closed in
the ring at 8 to 10.
Vinctor took the lead from Grady after
quarter had been travelled, showing q
neck before Ruinart at the end of six
furlongs, covered in ZIG. Freeman then
gave Ruinart his head, and the brown
fellow walked past Vinctor and won with
his rider looking back in the slow time of
1:42. The outcome of the race was sad
disappointment both TO Vlnctor's owner
and the public in general.
Three favor ties, q second choice and an
outsider scored winning brackets and the
betting fraternity left the track with quite
bundle of celebration money. Caliente,
Fleur de Lis, Miss Pollard and Little Grip
pie were the other winners the books had
to pay off on. Phaeda, ridden by little
Jimmy" Woods, backed down from 60 to
20 to 1, was sent out by her people for
Killing in the last race, but had to be
content with second place.
Ten selling platers furnished a lively
betting affair for an opener, the distance
being six furlongs. Caliente, played down
from twos to to 5,won rather easily at the
| a frar IL Ts,l,x N-1a
which finally tumbled out OF bed. Among
those who also ran and should have shown
up better were Seaside and Sunrise II.
Both will bear watching in future races.
After receding in the betting from evens
to 3 to 2, Fleur de Lis downed the other
four starters in the six furlong spin for
two-year-olds. Howard S, whose odds
favoritism, finished third. Hardtack IL
made the running to the stretch, when
PiggotI gradually moved Fleur de Lis into
the lead, and she won, ridden out, three
pats of a length before Hohenzollern.
The black horse Bueno again dumped
| the talent hard in the seven and half
! furlong run, with field of nine starting.
Backed down from even money to 1 to 2,
he showed prominently for part of the
distance and then finished back in the
ruck. Striking the stretch second to En-
cino, who had been making the running,
4nlbs q OduRulcT VI II,
separated herself from the bunch and won
at the wire by half a length from Long
Lady, who came with meteoric rush at
the close. Two Cheers, the second choice,
was third.
The concluding race was a mile and a
quarter selling event. Opening at 81 to
/, the ring was besieged with coin on Lit
tie Cripple, and the brown gelding closed
an even money chance. The two out
siders, Castanette and Phaeda, led the
field a merry chase to the stretch, where
the former had enough. The first choice
gradually moved down Phaeda's lead and
won easily in 2:091E. Little Bob ended UP
third, behind Phaeda.
