It was Lucky" Baldwin's day at the
races yesterday, although not formally
announced His horses captured the three
running races in which they were entered
winning with ease In every case. The
mighty Grady was among those to suffer
defeat by the Baldwin stable representa-
tive. The feet filly, La Goleta, showed
her heels to Grady In the seven-eighths of
a mile race the event OF the day, covering
the distance in 1891, which Ii very close
to record time.
The horses have been running true to
form lately, for during the last two days
practically every favorite In the eight
races has landed first money. The books

town, and the favorites, especially when
they are odds on as has been the case In
many instances, are not backed very much
All of the Baldwin entries yesterday were
odds on. and all won with ease. E. ID. Me-
6weeny's stable entry IN the first race. the
hve and a half furlong event, captured
that race.
There were two harness events on the
card, the first being q special pace for
named horses, which was won by Juliet D.,
the favorite, In straight heats. The other
harness race WAS q special match between
Toggles, recently purchased by Owen Bah
cock Of Coronado, and Montery, owned
by p. j. Williams. The association offere
a purse Of $500, while the owners wage red
$3.50 side. Monterey was the favorite but
Togglee won In straight heats, eQualing
the coast record OF 2:09A.
The attendance was very small. The
races were of an excellent character,
though, and warranted big crowd.
The Race Of the Day
The nth event on the carl, the seven.
eighths of mile running race. in which
San Venado. La Goleta, Grady and Pc
trarch were entered, was the race OF the
day. For the first time since the opening
of the present meeting the recall flag was
used in starting this event. on account OF
the refusal Of Petrarch to break. Although
the Santa Anita ranch, the home of the
Baldwin stable is within sixteen miles OF
here, the local public feels kindly toward
Grady and the betting on the race fuctu-

even the book-makers seemed to know
exactly what was doing or where they
were likely to get of.
La Goleta and San Venado were COUP
led in the betting and were quoted as
favorites at 2 to g. Grady opened at to S
and Petrarch at 10 to l. For few minutes
there seemed to be q rush to play the stable
for the price stiffened and went to to 3,
while Grady went down to .la to 1. Then
another change took place and the stable
was quoted at to 2, while Grady's ctock
took a rise, going to Z to 5. Petrarch went
to 60 to l. Once more there was a run OF
Grady money and he went to to 5, while
the stable was marked to TO- At the post
time the stable had been beaten down q
point and was to s, while Grady was even
money and Petrarch down to 50 to 1. After
q number Of false starts Caldwell sent the
