BY Jay Davidson


yesterday and won fame and hand
come floral wreath of Redondos choicest
carnations by defeating Memories ana
Don Domo in the Santa Catalina selling
stakes.
sue was fresh from her Emeryville
triumphs and demonstrated that the
tourney from the north did not dis
affect her in the, slightest degree she
revelled under the minimum weight ana
ran like a Democrat in Texas.
Memories opened as an odds-on
favorite and went to the post at a
shorter price. being heavily backed to
win. She failed to display the form
that won the Jonathan club handicap
Thursday and was lucky to get in the
money.
The gray streak, Don Domo, tried to
make a runaway race of 1t, but the
route was too far and he stopped to
catch his breath at the seven-eighths
pole, coming with a rallying rush at the
end and getting the place from Mem
ories.
Lille B might have been a contender
had she begun to run earlier, as she
finished strong and was running over
her field at the finish and was less than
a length back at the close.
The stake, with $1,000 added money,
had a gross value of $3.50, of which
Domo and $3.50 to Memories.
FlrebalI Wins
The selling stakes was the feature
race of the afternoon, although the fifth
race attracted much attention because
of the entry of Fireball and Druid,
which were regarded as nicely matched
and the race was expected to decide the
supremacy issue between them.
Fireball was held at prohibitive odds
and was but slightly backed. Druid
was fancied to a greater extent and the
to odds was snapped up by the
speculdting public with great eager
ness.
Fireball never left the issue in doubt
and won in a common canter. Druid
was away in poor position and ran
great race, but was never in shouting
distance of the Ben Strome boy.
Peggy O'Neal. with Jockey Schaffner
UP, copped the show position and was
easily the best of the field behind her.
This one is owned by ]. Grant Lyman
who has a few high class performers
here from eastern courses, and on the
showing of Peggy the stable should be
a factor in the adjudication Of events
in which it has entries
Has Rough Journey
Rocklands, from the Blute stable,
crossed the ina ginary line to the good
after a rough journey in which he was
messed all over the track from the start
to the wire and. although the best horse
in the race, he was lucky to get the
verdict.
Belle Kinney ran as if short of work
and was unable to stall off Rockland's 8
determined challenge in the last six
teenth. Belle ran good race to this
point and the race should be some help
to her.
The Borgian, from the Elmwood
farms stable. showed nicely and ran
game race to do it. This one is a full
brother to Borghesi of the same stable
and which won the sixth race from
Bragg, Sais and Marshal Ney.
Good Cheer was the favorite in the
first race, got away in poor position
and was never in the running.
Good Luck brought good luck to the
Tichenor stable in the second race
Loyal Front was away in front and
held the lead until Good Luck relieved
him. Bribery, which was much of a
good thing at fair price, came with a
rush in the final sixteenth and nosed
out Loyal Front for the place.
Secret was heavily played at los be-
cause of his birthplace, England, and
1t was suspected that he would be an
other Gentian in this field. He failed
to show anything remarkable in the
running line and lost a good hunk of
popularity by his conduct.
Five horses faced the barrier in the
third race, and Blissful, from the Bon
sack barns, was made favorite over
Milton Young. Orchan, Hot and Nc
Grathiana Prince.
Young Breaks Down
Bissful won cleverly and was not ex-
tended during the race. Milton Young
assumed an early lead and appeared all
over a winner until entering the stretch,
when he broke down and was pulled up.
Young was examined on the track
and Trainer T. c. Williams believes his
racing days are ended but IT. Guthrie
differed with him and made an offer of
500 for the colt, which was accepted.
Guthrie says that the injury will keep
Young out of the game for several
weeks. but believes the injury will re-
spond to treatment and the horse will
recover his usefulness as racing tool
OF good caliber.
Borghesi was a good thing in the
sixth race and was heavily backed at
bs, receding to 3s at post time and won
like stake horse of high degree Sais
blew up again. after chasing Borghesi
tnree-quarters of mile. but got third
place from Marshal Ney which finished
strong with a belated rush.
Bragg was believed by the specula-
tors TO have the race at his mercy and
was forced into favoritism. but was
never able to get up to Borghesi. Bragg
showed his usual game struggle in the
stretch. but second was the best he
could do.
Tom McCarey was not caught in the
Alsono killing to any great extent and
Is one of the few who won on the race
He was loser on the day, however, as
were all the books.
The Bennings meeting closed yester-
day and thereby ends all racing I'm the
east until next season. New Orleans
and the coast will enjoy four months
monopoly of the game.
Seldom it is that any of Barney
Schreibers candidates are chealked up
as 100 to / shots. but that was the fate
of Sheriff Williams yesterday, and he
felt the humiliation so greatly that he
wouldn't make an effort.
The first race on the program tomor-
row is the initial steeplechase event of
the meeting. This will be run over the
short course and weights and deelara-
