Coady's Bungling Work Allowed
Fullerton Lass to Beat the
Black Horse.
FAVORITEs WERE ALL BEATEN
Peru Once More Proved a Surprise,
Yankee Doodle Downed Some
Fast Company.

Jockey Coady as he advances in years
should become great scientist. 1t devolves
upon him to solve the problem that has
sent so many inventors to a premature
grave-perpetual motion. A to 5 chance
III the hands of the Lone stables light
weight is like clay in the hands of the
sculptor. The little old man of the sea
had the mount on the prohibitive favorite
Bueno in the last race at Inglesl6e yesler-
day, and on form and class it looked as
though there might be chance to beat
HIM If he happened to fall down. So ex-
tremely confident was Coady in the black
horses prowess that he let each one in
turn of the other six starters cut him off,
and struck the stretch last of the bunch.
He then began riding. and reached the
Judges just head behind the 15 to l shot,
imp. Fullerton Lass. The ride could
hardly be called a mastery exhibition of
horsemanship, but If it pleased the Ell Pri-
nero stables trainer, Coady will I'M
doubleday do all of the riding for that
stable in future.
Outside of this one little startling Incl
dent the sport was good. The new jockey
club started in the week with a splendid
racing card, and the attendance was above
the average. A strong wind swept the
course, which seemed to seriously retard
the advance of the favored ones in the
betting toward the winning goal, for soil
tary favorite failed to have his number
rung UP. However, very few of the win
ners lacked substantial backing.
The Southern California horse Peru, who
persists in winning on most inopportune
occasions in defiance of all the rules of turf
etiquette, again gave the talent severe
body blow by capturing the mile selling
event, backed down from 10 to TO l. He
passed the gray Paros swinging around
the bend for home, and under punishment
Won by half length in l "A. From the
press-stand it looked as though the to
favorite, Rey del Bandidos, finished in the
place, but Paros was given the verdict.
The Floodmore stables Elmer F proved
the warm one in the opening seven-fur-
long run with seven starters. Going to
The post Al to 1 he headed his company
when well into the stretch, and won
cleYerly at the wire. Favorv, the s to
favorite took the place from Seaside driy-
ing. Tar and Tartar, who was backed
down from tours, at one time ruling first
choice, quit badly after showing speed
for some distance.
Seven good three-year- olds started in the
second race at SIX furlongs, all with weight
up. In the opening betting Yankee Doodle,
Summer Time and Ruinart all opene at
IL to >. The play on Yankee Doodle was
such strong one that he closed at II to
10 and even money, with no change in
Ruinart's odds. The stable money did not
go IN on Summer Time, and she recedeG
to to l. One of the outsiders of the party
Peixotto, came very near proving a sur
prise Running through the bunch and
opening up gap of four lengths OF day
light at the start, he maintained most of
this advantage until opposite the pad
dock, when the favorite overlook him, and
ridden out won by half a length in :15L.
-Buinart came well in the stretch, finishing
a good third.
The Cambridge stables FLY Modestia
opened 10 choice for the two-year-old
event over four and one-haIf furlongs, but
was evidently not ready, for she receded
TO 81 10 l. Quantrell carried the bulk of
the big coin bet, his odds beng plugged
down from twos TO to 5. The select
inner circle, though, placed their shekels
on Widow Jones, cutting her price from 5
to 2L, and leading the entire route, the
Widow headed the favorite out at the wire
three lengths in 81 seconds very ordi-
nary performance.
The II to favorite Two Cheers in the
fifth race, a seven-furlong selling affair
with field of fifteen going to the post
was unfortunate in getting away from the
