RainIand Romped Home Ahead
Of Brancas at Nashville.

Utopia Handicap.

Nashville. Tenn. April 2S.-An
doubt as to the relative quality of
Rainland and Brancas. two of the
colts that may be seen in the lesser

when Rainland galIoped home the
winner of the Utopia hotel handicap.
which served as the feature of the
card at Cumberland. At the time
Ra1nland was claimed as being a colt
entitled to consideration with any of
the medium list of 3-year-olds. Up to
the time the race was run, the local
trainers would have it that Brancas
was best of the field that went to the
post in the Derby here, and that but
for his unfaStunate fall he would sure
" have beaten RainIand.
That feeling was responsible for so
short a price as even money being laid
against Brancas, while Rainland found
few public players to accept the
chance on him at to 2. In the run
ming there was no semblance of a
contest. Lyme allowed Rainland to
romp along in a good position for the
ftrst hve furlongs of the mile journey,
then he sent the Goldblatt colt to the
front and in the last quarter took him
in hand to keep him from winning by
more than two lengths. Brancas, in
the meantime, was under a hard drive
and had to do his best to beat Cy-
pr1enne for the place.
This was supposed to be the final
test for Brancas in preparation for his
engagement in the Kentucky Derby
and, although Trainer Mcdaniel would
make no positive statement to that eff
feet, it is not believed that he will send
the colt out to meet the good ones that

not particularly liked by any class Of
players, with the exception of the 2
year-old race won by Opalantis The
finishes were of the open order kind

to do with deciding the results. OpaIani
