The one-fourth mile pony race was
not run owing to only two entries.
The event of the day was the mile
dash with five entries as follows:
Bulgaria, owned by Mitchell. July
Gyp of the Rouse & Humphrey sta
bles, Pagosa, Aron. by Fred Ortez OF
Cortez. Sir Kenneth OF Mr. Jones, and
Rhoda f. by John Lawrence of Sa-
guache
Bulgaria was the favorite in this
event. but not as much so as r. @.
Ban. although owned by the same
person. Pools were lively-as fast
as the clerk could make them out for
nearly an hour. Bulgaria selling for
50. July Gyp for 81 second choice
with the field ranging from $3.50 to
$3.50, making an average pool of $12.
There was considerable scoring but
finally the bunch was off In very good
shape. Around the stretch they flew
with the field in the lead closely fol-
lowed by July Clip with Bulgaria in
the rear by two or three lengths.
This position was retained until the
three-fourth mile post was passed.
when the favorite began gaining. In
rounding the circle Bulgaria entered
the bunch which were following July
Gyp couple of lengths in the lead.
In making the turn Bulgaria passed
the field. steadily gaining on July
Gyp and the last two hundred yards
was about as pretty sprinting as one
would choose to see. Slowly Bulga-
ria crept up but either he was not
equal to the occasion or the rider
started in too late to make up the
gap as July Gyp passed under the
wire half a head in advance, and
judging from the cheering he was the
favorite with the masses.
This ended the days sport.
The program this afternoon is an
unusually good one, being as follows:
Free for all running. as mile dash;
first, 5000; second $50.
Free for all running. y mile and
