ormonde's Right Carries Big Weight.
From a purely racing point of view Or
monde's Right must be voted the best
speed performer and weight carrier of the
meeting Yesterday he packed loo pounds
and won the mile and forty yards handicap
from a very strong field OF horses. In his
four straight victories at this meeting the
big son of the ocean traveller, Ormonde.
has gradually taken up more weight, on
November % carrying IDS pounds success
fully and yesterday going that impost five
pounds more.
1t is an old maxim of handicappers and
lrorsemen that weight VIII bring the pest
Of them together. but Ormonde's Right ex-
ploded that theory yesterday as far as MS
nine opponents and himself were concernea.
He was meeting Bohemia. the Coiumola
handicap winner; Sidney &. Love, q very
fast horse; Peter Paul Bobbie kean and
other good horses, conceding them from
forty-three pounds to Sailor Boy down 10
seven pounds to Bohemia. Yet he beat
them all easily.

ways the choice. as Shaw mad come back

Henry Oxnard was much pleased at the

Sunfire In the Mist.
Those who noted In The Star how Sunhre

clever ante-post move yesterday. took to
about the colt in the second event When
he opened up big gap early in the strug-
gle and was never reached. they shook
hands with themselves for their faith in
the colt. 1t was also life-saver to the
Richards-McLaughlin contingent, who were
behind on the meeting until Sunfre evened
them up yesterday.

Ricardo beat seven maidens in the fifth
event after a wide range of speculation that
saw all the horses played This race was
the first of the day in which nothing could
be seen either of the start or any part OF
the race up to the last furlong. Here HI
