THE LAST DAY
This is getaway day and closes the
most successful meeting that has ever
been held by the Sixth District associa-
tion. Most of the horses will go from
here to Oakland, but quite number of
the harness racers will be sent to the
Santa Ana fair, where fine card has
been prepared. Today's program has
been carefully prepared and it Is the in
| tention of the association to make the
last days sport the best. The meeting
of klamath and Jasper Ayres in the free
for-all trot is quite an event in harness
racing in California and it isvery doubt
full if two gamer or faster horses ever
scored up for the word west of Chicago
Both trotters are in excellent condition
and desperate battle is expected. The
feature of the running card is the Pasa-
dena handicap at seven furlongs. This
event IS worth $500 and will bring to-
gether a great field. The fact thai
|
mile at his best speed is another draw
ing card. Altogether the program is the
most diversified ever offered in Los An
geles.
A JOB SCENTED
There have been several attempts at
jobbery at the races at Agricultural
park since the present race meeting be-
! gan, and, although this is the last day
patrons of them will do well to make
some inquiry before putting any money
either way on the free-for-all trot, the
most important event on today's card
There was an incident in the sales o1
pools last night which does not have
exactly the proper appearance. 1t is
one of the most peculiar and sudder
shifts in the betting that has been no.
ticed here this week. Klamath ant
Jasper AyreS are the horses who are
conceded to have that race as well as
won, although it is of course impossible
to tell which Of them will win. 1t is
certain that one of them will do the
trick, and such was the opinion in the
Turf Exchange last night where pool.
We're sold. The opening betting was re G.
ular enough, and in it klamath sold fol
$50 against the field for $25. Quite E
number of pools were sold at these fig
ures, when for some unexplained rea
, son there was a sudden change in th
. betting. Jasper Ayers went to 50
against the field for $14. 1t would seen
, that the klamath people would hav
) taken this and as much of it as the.
. could get but with Ayers the favorit
. the field money disappeared. The horse
4 men present asked each other why, bu
. there was no answer, and is none "Sta.
off that race" was the avice given las
! night by wellknown horseman. Th
| incident was talked of wherever horse
men congregated last night.
