THE PIKERS
IN CLOVER
AT OAKLAND
Stromo In First at Odds o
SO to 1.-Two Choices
First.

Stromo. the Burns & Waterhouse cast
off, cut a wide swath at Oakland yester-
day. He was a starter in the second
event, over one mile .and a sixteenth and
so lightly were his chances thought Of
that some of the books laid as good as
50 to l about the gelding. With little
Fauntleroy on his back, he took the lead
from the start and was never caught,
winning by half a length from Donator.
Dare II, the top-heavy favorite should
have won. but Walsh misjudged the pace
so badly, waiting for the winner to come
back, that he barely took the show from
Ringmaster.
The Stromboli, horse was not the only
rank outsider to wear brackets, for, in
the closing event, New Moon, q II to I
shot, DISPOSED of the warm favorite
HohenzolIern. My Gypsy and Panamint
proved the only successful favorites.
The six maiden two-year-olds in the
first dash were not an inviting lot. and
a fair price was Obtainable against any
of the starters. My Gypsy looked about
the best, ard it turned out a cakewalk
for her. Champion Rose finished well,
downing Foligno for the place.
Nine bad actors caused a half hour de-
lay at the post in the six furlong selling
handicap; Layator: his first time out,
showed none Of his old-time speed, run
ming third. In a, go-aS-you- please finish
left the bunch, beating Charles LIE Bel
three lengths at the wire.
Panamtnt was Hawkins horse" yes
terday. and in the six furlong sprint fol-
lowing, after being badly pocketed on the
back stretch, Thorpe threaded his way
out, winning cleverly from Jerid. The
latter made all the running, showing
much Improvement over his Chicago
form. Mike Rice was strongly backed
second choice. but was led out for the
third place by Meadow Lark.
NT,r,r, ,s-l,-
the surprise in the concluding mile selling
run. Away in the lead, the mare failed to
back up noticeably, and though inclined
to run out the last part, lasted long
ZOllern by q neck. Lodestar ran a bang
up third
