SACRAMENTO, Sept N.-The racing
at the park this afternoon was decided
over lumpy track and but two favorites
-Rey del TERRA with Piggott up. and
Gilt Edge, ridden by Thorpe-were able
to make it. Amasa took the opening
event at comfortable odds; Eta II easily
outfooted Vabencienne in the sprint which
followed, and in the fourth recital Man
camilla led Libertine past the finishing
post.
. Judge Prices and Wilson again demons
trated that suspicious looking riders would
not be tolerated by s1lspending Glenn, who
rode Hermanita in the mile and a six
tenth run. He sat up straight on the
mare until within a few yards of the
wire. where a mild bluff was made at
riding: If the boy really did try and the
effort was the best he is capable of, his
dealings with the equine in future should
be confined to sawhorse in some wood
yard.
. The overnight gamblers created some
thing Of furry In the market by play
; ing Kaiser Ludwig, but even with Pig
gott on his. back he was not a very
dangerous factor in the first race a six
, furlong selling sprint. Amasa at odds Of
to l led from the start and won easily,
with Distinction second, about three
lengths ahead of Ludwig. Lady Ashley,
clination to run in the going.
But three lined UP in the five and half
furlong scramble following, and Valen-
cienne, the l to 2 favorite, carried the
target in. Frawley kept her in the deep
going next the rail, and as the stretch
was reached the fast filly was beaten
Eta H, well handled by Gus Wilson, was
then enabled to win easily from the two
year-old Bonibel.
pafO ha
was called there was a dispute as to who
was entitled to the services of Thorpe,
the owners of both Zarro and Ko Ko
claiming to have engaged him. The flip
of a coin gave him TO Hanger" Jones,
the owner of 10 Ko, and there was gloom
in the camp of the Zarro people, for the
black horse had been extensively backed
in the overnight betting. All doubts were
set at rest by Rey del I1erra the 2 to 5
favorite, going out in front and winning
as he pleased. In a drive Ko Ko took
the place from Hermanita..
Libertine once more suffered defeat in
the seven furlong purse event. The. big
bay horse went to the post togo choice
and was unable to overhaul SO cheap a
of the smart set. The latter was ridden
by Thorpe, and beat the barrier a length
or so. Ockturuck again shuffied into the
show
Thorpe was also successful in landing
Gilt Edge winner of the final race on the
card, a hve furlong dash for maiden two
year-olds. The big chestnut youngster
came out full of steam, and, almost i1nme-
diately assuming the front position, led
his field past the judges eased up. SIX
