Golden Rule, the crack two-year-old of
the Corrigan stable, continued in his tri-
umphant career at Oakland track yes
terday, capturing the stake event at five
furlongs without apparent effort. Many
of the spectators were greatly disappoint-
ed, for they expected to see Charles
Fairs Ormonde flly. Oremus, give the
chestnut youngster a sharp argument.
She was unequal to the task, and after
displaying a high turn of speed during
the early stages of the running was
beaten for the place by Kitty Kelly, the
only other contender. Golden Rule had
Piggott at the helm, and, closing a 2 to
chance in the books, cut out the pace
and won hands down in 1902. The value
of the stake was $1,000 to the winner.
Aside from this one event the programme
wore the earmarks of one that would be
furnished at some bush meeting up in
the pumpkin country. Five favorites
tumbled in, and the ring suffered severe
losses.
The mile and furlong handicap was
grand piece Of work. 1t was superb be-
cause of its coarseness. John Carroll, the
nephew of Ed Corrigan, started Daisy
f with 104 pounds up. Duke &s Wishard
We're represented by Stamina, carrying
102 pounds. The pair met once before,
and the latter colt won. The other start
ers were Outright and Morana, dogs"
that could not win an October derby, and
Inc DOCKS opened SldHllnd
to 5 favorite, but were soon intro
duced to the angle. The Middle Western
delegation spread their coin about on
Carrolls mare, forcing the odds down
from to to to 5. She waited on Stam-
ina until the stretch was reached, and
then actually rolled in winner. Stamina,
whose price went back to to ), was
lame in the shoulder and apparently in
no condition for a hard contest Local
turf patrons paid the piper, and the
Chicago outfit danced to the music, as
well as carting away the coin.
Major Hooker experienced no difficulty
in disposing of the motley gathering of
''crabs" in the first event, a mile and a
quarter run. The race was made for him.
and at odds of l to he won galloping
from FOrmella. CaVallo, the second
choice, finished fourth, behind Reolia
Gibbettifibbet a warm one imported
from the orange belt country, took the
cheap mile run following. Backed from 15
to ! to Z to l, the gray mare assumed front
position when headed for home, winning
Lass, the favorite, to all appearances a
parboiled lobster" came fast when 1t
was too late, taking the show.
S. f. Capp's horse, Rapido, finally edged
his way in with some moderate company,
taking the mile run in a hard drive from
Tempo The winner was backed from
to to even money. Grady commanded
backing, but grew weary early in the
struggle.
The mile and a sixteenth selling affair
fell to Opponent, the to faVorite.
Drawing up on equal terms with the 15
to l shot, Benamela, in the stretch, the
duo fought it out, with the first choice
getting the verdict by a head. Glen Anne
ran a close third.
