SOUTH BREEZE DID
NOT RUN TO FORM.
Wolfram and Gov. Boyd Were Also
Badly Handled and Did Not
Display True Merit.
sCULLY HELPED FEDERALIST.
Little Jockey Made Mr.. Bratton's
Horse Show Vast Improvement
on His Races Under L. Daily
Jessie Jarboe Did Well.

South Breeze Governor Boyd and VOL
fran ran bad races at Kinloch yesterday
The betting prior to the race indicated that
these horses would run as they did. Out
side of the bad performances of these three
apparent contenders the racing was good
and snappy.
Doeskin and Maghoni were the only win
ming favorites, though Jessie Jarboe was
backed from to l to 10 5 IN the fifth race
and was the virtual favorite. South Breeze,
who opened favorite, went from to TO
to !, though heavily played. She ran a
very bad race. Lou Calm, her owner, was
much disappointed. He thought his mare
would come close to winning and bet on
her. Battiste gave her very weak and in
efficient ride. She needs strong ride to do
her best.
Wolfram was in what looked like his spe-
c!al going in the third race. With the pos
sible exception of Maghoni, he held his field
safe. lie opened at to 1 and sailed to to
in the face Of a heavy play Maghoni was
backed down from 10 l to even money.
Maghoni won easily. Wolfram was off
badly ana Battiste gave him no assistance
whatever. He did not help him bit in the
stretch, when the horse was running very
strong and freely.
SIaters ride on Gov. Boyd in the steeple-
chase was slovenly indeed. The big horse
seemed the best. He warmed up well and
ran well in spots, but Slater could not help
him at the fences and he lost much
These are three horses that ran races far
below their best form yesterday who will
probably rul bettcr ones in the near fu-
Gure. Bettors will do well to bear them in
mind. Likeness also ran race far below
her form, but as she was having a first out
on the track no exception can be taken
to 1t.
Beauty Book, second choice, won the first
race because she was clearly best. She
broke away back, but fought her way to
the front and wore down Has Gift, who
had broken in front and secured a good
lead. TemptTess ran well, but Mccain be-
came sick while riding her and could not
help her to finish. He was Obliged to can
Gel his engagements for the day. Had Nc
cam been in condition TO give Temptress
won.
Doeskin, the favorite. won the second
race easily. after a short early drive. Bon
lengths in the first half mile and seemed
TO be certain winner rounding the turn.
But she stopped to a walk in the stretch
field.
Maghoni Goudy and Wolfram looked like
the contenders in the third race. The book
makers took an awful fan out of wolfram
The way they hoisted the prices to get the
money was laughable. They just fell over

Governor Boyd was favorite in the steeple-
chase. though he went up from even money
70 TO l. There was little play on the race
Fearful and Ninos went in front for half
the distance and seemed to have the race
between them when Ninos ran out at the
liverpool and hit her shoulder against the
wing OF the fence. Fearful then went ON
and won as he pleased from Governor Royd.
slater gave the latter slovenly ride and
inishandled him at every part of it. On
his race yesterday he can beat Fearful same
way weighted without trouble. Ninos was
gong wen when she bolted. She injured her
shoulder badly.
Jessie Jarboe and South Breeze seemed to
be the contenders IN the fifth race. The
ring opened Jessie at the false price of &

play on her until to l was obtainable
Larboe got off in front and made a run
aWay race OF 1t. South Breeze began slow
ly, as she always does, made smart move
at the half, but failed to come in the
stretch, as she generally does. Battiste's
ride on her in the stretch was lamentably
inefficient. Colonel Ballentine and Star Cot
ton, two platers beat a mare that ran a
mile and one-quarter in 2:04 at the Fair
Grounds last June, and who is a better
attaches to Mr.. Calm for her race. Bat
tiste's ride was weak and that alone beat
her. She might not have beaten Jessie jar
Doe. but she should have been second, to a
moral certainty. She was in her own going
and mare that can beat Lady Strathmore
at mile and seventy yards ought to beat
mile and one-sixteenth.
The last race saw Federalist show the
same reversal of form Crime showed the
day previous, coming from under L. DAILY
TO. Scully. On his good races with The |
Boer. Federalist looked like an even-money
shot; on his bad race behind Sinfi last time |
out he looked like a 20-to-1 shot. The book |
makers forgot L. DAILY had been riding him |
and laid IL to l. Federalist, Sinf Tom Col |
Inns and Likeness, three sad cutters, who |
like TO run in front and by themselves, were |
the favorites. Collins and Sinfi ran to- |
gether and both quit Then along came |
Scully with Federallst and waltzed home |
an easy winner by length. Collins ran a |
good race and was second.
