tively-De Capo Gets
the Place.
IL was not only large holiday crowd,
nut one with lots OF money. that attend
ed the horse races yesterday afternoon.
The result was that the betting was
brisk and that considerable money
changed hands. At casual glance II
would appear that the talent had the
best OF the day as out Of seven events
four favorites landed the purses. As a
matter of fact. however, the books broke
to the good. as they took in lots of
money. on second and third choices,
backed by many. Then too, the odds
were in favor of the books as they were
laid. the percentage in some instances
being surprisingly large. The odds were
somewhat better than on any previous
day but nothing like they should have
been.
The event of the day was the Hot
Time stakes, a handicap for all ages at
four and half furiongs for a purse Of
$500. Eight horses faced the starter.
The race was conceded to be between
True Blue and Valencienne, about equal
favorites. Doublet had his following
and De Capo was well played for the
place. There was tip out on Abba L
and she was backed from 40 to IL.
1t was great race from the fall Of
the flag. Doublet jumper out in the
front from the start and was never head
ed. winning all the way. True Blue got
off fourth and Nalenvienne next to the
last. The former picked up considera BILE
ground and at the turn into the stretch
was contender within half length Of
Doublet. De Capo was running third
and Valencienne fourth with the others
strung out.
1t was a pretty race from there to the
wire. Doublet. all in came under the
wire first, length in front Of DE Capo
True Blue barely beat out Valenvienne
for third money.
There was something doing in the
fifth race and the judges got next to It,
At least the judges suspected something
and declared themselves. The tip was
that the race was to go to Allery's Gar
ter and many who liked MocoritO were
advised to stay off the mare. The result
was that the talk circulated and got to
the ears OF the judges. Then one Of
them sought GOuin who had the mount
on Abercrombie's mare and announcing
that she could win, advised the jockey to
see that she did so.
1t so happened that Mocorito got off
bad. but Gouin sat down on her from the
jump and never QUIT riding until the
wire was passed. That the judges were
right in their opinion of the ability of the
mare was shown by the handy fashion
in which she won. After the race there
were lots Of soreheads who had not ex-
pected Mocrito to win and who had bet
their money that way.
The other races furnished good sport
with close finishes. The summary fol-
