ISENBERG'S FINE FILLY.
The fourth race, the 2:30 class, har-
ness, proved in it's first heat to be the
race of the day. Creola, Isenberg's
Waialae bred FLY by Creole out of True
Blue, running her maiden race after on
ly two months handling by Quinn,
proved all that her trainer claimed for
her by winning a blue ribbon in the
establishing of a Hawaiian bred record
lower. Besides being Kamehameha
the Thirds birthday, it was also that
of President Isenberg and the fine
showing of his mare was most timely
The short training and the fast pace
proved too much for the game little
FLY however and the second heat
showed her lame, though she pluckily
stayed till the third trial leaving the
track with a bowed tendon. Last night
the thoroughbred little lady spent dis
consolately in her loose box, conscious
only of ultimate defeat after one sweet
taste of victory and an aching left leg
wrapped in a bandage. She will be
alright by next year under Quinn's skill
full handling and will be all that he
predicts and Isenberg hopes.
THE FIRST HEAT
Creo1a and Dennie Haley, who prov
ed himself a good horse yesterday, go
ing six different heats in better than
average time, got off to an even start
with Creola outside. To the half both
went in 1:G6 and then the green fily |
which had been laying back began to
gain. At the three-quarters she chal- !
lenged ana round the final bend came
with every nerve of her thoroughbred
dam urging her on to victory. At the
distance nag in the stretch 1t was any, |
body's race and down came Davis's bat |
on Dennie Haley. Quinn held back his |
whalebone remembering the indignant !
thoroughbred strain but in the last fifty |
yards brought down the whip once !
twice. thrice and CreoIa responded win |
ming by a good head in 2:1S with the |
Hawaiian boys playing ''Waialae," |
Quinn all smiles and Isenberg over the |
grand stand railing like a boy.
THE BOWED TENDON.
The pace told combined with the |
short time of training ane a leg once !
before weak showed symptoms of pre- |
paratory lameness. Dennie Haley got |
away strong and Creola broke at the |
eighth, never regaining until Haley |
came in first in 2:23 Is. The final heat |
was one-sided with plucky little Creola !
trying to get the better of that weaken
ing tendon till Quinn eased her up by |
the half and Denny Haley claimed the |
heat and race in 2:2S LIS. Both horses
achieved victory, Haley the race and |
Creola the record. Davis. Quinn and |
Isenberg were all pleased, the latter
promising a $500 cup for the lowerer of
Creola's new time, 2:1S, eight seconds
better than the previous one. The pro-
gram read:
Denny Haley, $50 lbs, B. H. D. H Da-
