riding he neglected to take Briarthrope
into his confidence. Dillon crept up on
the leaders, and before Fuller had
realized what had happened he found
himself second instead Of first.
Essv for Ray
Ray was in a soft spot in the last
race on the card and easily disposed
of Bandillo and Eleven Bells Much
money was bet on this race, with
Eleven Bells the public choice at s TO 5.
Ray was not without friends and was
played heavily at to at post time.
Bandillo took the lead, which he held
ITO the head Of the stretch. Ray under
nice handling, came on when ready and
won as the rider pleased.
Track Notes
Jack" Joyner has completed ar
rangements for the engagement of
Jockey W. Davis for next season, and
the boy will report to him at Sleeps
head Bay In February.
Joyner is enjoying his visit to the
coast and will spend few days at Los
Angeles before his return. Before he
gets back to work he expects to make
an extended visit to Mt. Clemmens
Mich, as he has not been in the best of
health during the past year.
Joyner has a very efficient stable
foreman in the person of John Schlos-
ser, who is looking after the big string
at present.
Tom Healy, one of the most success
full of the younger generation of train
ers in the east, is visiting California,
and was at the track yesterday. Healy
had a very successful season during
the past summer, when he was training
the horses of r. T. Wilson. jr., and his |
winnings were about double what they |
were the previous year. Dolly Spanker, |
a very fast gelding, was the star of the |
Eealy string.
Joe Yeager's agent has wired to the |
New California Jockey club that his |
horses would not be shipped to Oak |
land as he had intended.
The question of feed bills is a serious |
one to the poor owner of race horses, |
and at times there is an awful struggle |
to meet these necessary items.
Here in California feed is probably |
cheaper than in any other part of the |
country, and much easier to get than |
it is in New orleans.
In the Crescent City the association
has feed store as a part of the track
equipment, and to be in good standing
owners must patronize that store.
The horse of Charles Hensail will all |
be shipped from Oakland to Los An
geles today. and tomorrow "Wally"
Brinkworth will be on his way from |
San Francisco to Hot Springs with his
stable.
Brinkworth is a good sport and
good fellow. Although he has lost be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 during the
present meeting at Oakland he has
had but little to say about it. 1t GER
tainly looks as if he had been handed |
the hot end of it more times than one
and he cannot be blamed for wanting |
to be on his way to another field. 1t |
is to be hoped that he will meet with |
better success in the "vapor City"
All bets were declared off in the |
first race and twenty minutes allowed |
for a new book as Marylander was or
dered scratched by the judges. One of |
the horses plates got loose while he
was being galloped through the stretch.
Tab Flea. This one will win when
lightly weighted. He cannot move with
weight and showed this in his last two
races. The judges ordered Jockey Will
bert off and put up Jockey Rice.
Gallant Lady is worth remembering.
In her race yesterday she bolted as the i
barrier was released, then made up a
lot of ground and held her own. Is a
racy looking filly and ran as if green.
Will do better the next time out.
Snowbound is good future prospect.
Is fine locker and a reported cracker
jack. Ran a good race yesterday.
Throw out the races of Dorothea Fry
and Raincloud. They were off badly
and the boys did not persevere when
they saw they were beaten.
With an even break Belle Kinney |
would have made things lively for Blue
Coat. Away none too we'll she chased |
after Blue Coat, who beat the barrier |
but the early effort told on her. viii |
beat this kind next time out.
Don't let Arabs get away from you.
He was the victim of poor ride yes
terday and can beat this kind.
Had Fuller gone on about his bus
mess when he rode Sheriff Bell instead |
of teasing McDaniels on Ralph Young
he might have won. He was paying too
much attention to Ralph Young and |
did not see Briarthorpe come up on the
outside.
clever coup was supposed to come
off on Sheriff Bell and all the "wise
money" was burnt up through Jockey
Fuller's carelessness.
Sugden in the last race was backed |
as though it were all over but the
shouting. His chances were spoiled at
the start as Crosby whirled into him,
throwing him ouf of his stride rrl,ia |
