The San Francisco call., 1904-06-03
Son of Star Ruby Shows a
Liking for the Muddy
Going.

NEW YORK. June 2.-By far the
most Interesting event run over the
muddy Gravesend course to-day was
nat afforded IN the fifth race. when
two popular horses. Africander and
Hurst Park, ran ike a double team
for a half mile. Africander was near
est the rail. presumably the deepest
part OF the course, yet this did not
appear 70 impair his stride TO any per-
ceptible degree. Hurst Park, whose
sire. Kingston. was not a mud horse,
ran well and Il was only in the last
furlong that the anxious hackers Of
Africander could safely venture TO re-
gard their wagers as won. Even then
Hurst Park was not q badly beaten
horse.
The only other starter was Raglan.
but when the two older horses really
began 70 race along the back stretch
she was left far behind, notwithstand-
ing that as a two-year-old she ran well
over just such tracks. Africander was
conceding six pounds 70 Hurst Park
and he succeeded IN doing It. but the
state OF the track was so much in the
winners favor that il must not be
taken as a fact that the Suburban
winner Of 1903 can defeat Hurst Park
as oecisively on a dry track sum
