The San Francisco call., 1905-04-29
Cruzados Finishes Sec
ond to the Great
Mare.
Long Shot Players Roll
in Glover Once
Again.
BY FRED e. MULHoLLAND.

Lucky Baldwin's big sprinter Cru
zados, shouldering 126 pounds, set a
pace IN the six and half furlong
handicap at Oakland yesterday that
would have kept Barney Oldfield and
his famous 999 busy and then lost to
Honiton. If the extra half furlong
could have been clipped of the result
might have been different, though this
is doubtful. Honiton carried Knapp
and 120 pounds and enjoyed first call
in the betting. The Baldwin sprinter
experienced little difficulty in shaking
off the other starters when Dick Dwyer
released the barrier. Turning into the
stretch Cruzados had a lead of two
lengths, but even then the favorite
looked a winner. As CruZados weak
ened the great mare closed on him and
at the wire won handily by a neck in
1:19 fiat. Gold Enamel. literally sup
ported one, finished third after an un-
even voyage.
UPSETS ARE FREQUENT.
Upsets were frequent, Cloudnght,
Funnyside, Dusty Miller and I'm Joe
converting the dope book into a
comic almanac. The handicap winner
and High Chancellor were the two
lucky choices.
Abe Meyer had first call In the bet
lllib III Tie lWO-ySdT-OlQ QdsIl, anu i III
Joe made him look like a deuce. The
winner had j. Clark up and at odds OF
to l, jumped away in the lead, dis
posing of the first choice without !. an
effort. Iron Watson, a Is to l shot,
took the show from st. Francis.
DR.. Rowell's filly Mistress of Rolls
was installed favorite for the seven
and a half furlong event. She was sore
and unfit and the money bet on her
mos h..rn hoF ha -
the paddock. Cloudlight. a 20 to shot
piloted by Tommy Taylor, spread
eagled the field. Bob Ragon moved up
from a seat in the back row, downing
Bailey half a length for the place.
FUNNYSIDE CREATES A STIR.
On top of this came the ludicrous re-
versal Of Funnyside, winner Of the mile
and 100 yards sketch. The mare start
ed in a seven furlong run last Mon
day, but the gentlemen who smoke
would have none of her. Yesterday she
created profound stir in the betting.
then went out in front, leading from
ON Rey Dare, the favorite, finishing
second, four lengths before F'ortunatus.
Mai Lowery ran a clever race, al
though unplaced.
Judging from his exhibition in the
mile and a sixteenth selling fixture,
Dusty Miller must have been run over
by a street sweeping machine since
his appearance on Wednesday last.
Then he was just entering the stretch
as the other starters were being cooled
out. Twenty to l was accepted about
him yesterday. and he came home an
easy winner after cutting out all the
pace. Judge Denton, the favorite, ran
third, behind Sheriff Bell. Royalty
failed to show any speed.
An even money chance, High Chan
cellor, ridden by Mcbride, won the
closing six-furlong event in a gallop.
Tocolaw. after a stormy trip, got up
in time to snatch the place from Ruby.
TRACK NOTES.
When Achelita collided with St
Francis in the stretch and fell, AL
Minder fortunately escaped with Sc
we're shaking up.
When Dusty Miller started in the
third race on Wednesday his owners,
Thomas & Co., asked and were grant
ed permission to run the horse with
out blinkers. On that occasion Dusty
after which he refused to try. Yes
terday Thomas & Co. stated they
would like to try blinkers on the horse
again. At one stage of the betting the
price about Dusty touched 10 to 1 and
he won easily. The judges ordered
the entries of the firm refused in fu-
ture.
This being Fabiola day at the track,

Jackey Club donates the receipts to
