HARNESS HORSES
STEP FAST MILES
GOOD TIME MADE ON AGRlCUL-
TURAL PARK TRACK
ANOTHER CARLOAD ARRIVES
String Of Entries for Opening Circuit
Meeting Received From North.
Briney K Working
Out Well

Everything points to harness meet
of unusual excellence at Agricultural
park next week. The fact that 1t will
be the regular opening of the Califor-
MIA circuit and the rich purses, aggre-
eating $16,5OO, offered by the Los An
geles Harness Horse association for
the trotters and PAGERS of the west, as
sured the success of the plans of the
local enthusiasts from the first. The
horses now stabbed at the park are the
best in the west and all large stables
of Oregon, Washington and California
will be represented in the week of
racing.
There is certain to be fast and classy
races in both the trotting and pacing
events, practically all of the entries
being above the average. In the pacing
events especially is there promise of
fractured records. No one will be sur
prised If in some of the pacing events
three heats better than 2:10 are re-
quired to win.
Briney K was sent some easy miles
yesterday morning. Briney is well
known as the matinee horse that was
such a consistent performer last win
ter and he will not lack backing when
he picks up a sulky next week. Briney
K will start but once next week, being
entered for the 2:11 trot on the Fourth
of July The diagonal gaiter has been
working nicely and should be up in the
going Tuesday.
Ole and Oma A, both entries in the
Pill, were sent around a couple of times
yesterday. Ole gated pretty mile in
131a. Oma was urged around in IA,
no effort being made to cause a flutter
among the railbirds.
Another carload has arrived from
Santa Rosa. Robizola, competitor with
Briney K, Ole and the other fast ones
in the 2:11 trot, was included in the
shipment. Robizola is one of the we'll
ing fine workouts on the Santa Rosa
track. The mare is the property of j.
w. Clark of Santa Rosa and has a rec
ord of 2:121s and is reported to have
trialed a fraction over :0S in a recent
workout.
Bob Smith, the wel-known local
, oil h,,t of !, c
horses. Smith still has Bellemont, rec
ord last year as a two-year-old 2:201a, |
Day filly by Zombro GID, dam by AL
and bay colt by Peter the
Great (2:O7A), first dam a producing |
laughter of Sultan, second dam Beu-
ah, dam of Benzetta (2:O6&), Early |
Bird (2:10), etc. Bellemont won the
California Futurity for o-year-olds
ast year and obtained her record which
was probably the fastest for two-year-
old fillies for the year. The Peter the
Great colt was worked by Thayer at
Lexington as a three-year-old and tDot-
ed mile in 2:21. Smith has put him
% pacing and he cut down a mile in
.:111a the other day. He can step "a
quarter in 80 and Smith has we'll
'ounded hopes of making something of
aim in the future.
Dedalion, Ottinger's entry in the 2.09
pace has been going some nice miles
over the Agricultural park track. The
horse has nice easy action and should
figure in the money next week.
The extended meeting at Overland |
park, Denver is now in progress and |
will hold until July 4. So far it has
been largely given up to, the runners,
but there is long program of harness
events to be pulled off before the close.
They will be watched with keen in
terest by California horsemen, for sew
eral of the trotters and PAGERS entered
in the Overland park events are pos
sible entries in the November meeting
Of the Los Angeles association.
Agricultural park is being prepared
for the reception of the harness rae
Ing public next week in the revival
The stretch rail has been given
whitewash dressing and Ed Smith will
have the grandstand gaily bedecked
with bunting when the first bunch
scores for the word. A restaurant for
hungry trainers and watch holders is
already doing no mean business.
The failure of the two-year-o trot
to fill makes it probable that some
kind of a match race will be arranged
to fill up the card. Nothing has as yet
been definitely decided upon, however,
but something of a classy variety will
be- provided.
