Jockey Eugene itliucDldOu' AilcliN" =
premier knight of the pig-skin, has
been warned by the local racing officials
against foul riding and another infrac-
tion will deprive him of his privilege TO
accept mounts for the balance of the
season at Ascot.
Hildebrand is one of the cleverest
boys i'm the business and is ever ready
to take advantage of tricks that are
looked upon by true sportsmen as being
dirty. Judge Hamilton is not at all
pleased with the tactics pursued by
HiIdebrand and yesterday called the
boy to the stand and told him in plain
English that he must either desist or
forfeit his right TO work at the local
track.
Yesterday i'm the third race Hide
brand on Hans Wagner carried EN-
peror of India out swinging into the
stretch, although there was no appar-
Hildebrand had the leg up on Clover
ton. He got away on the outside of
the field and then deliberately shot to
the inside rail badly interfering with
the horses behind him. After the race
Judge Hamilton called Hildebrand into
the stand and gave the boy an awful
toasting.
"If you think you can get away with
that kind of riding on this track you
are badly mistaken" was the way
Judge Hamilton addressed Hildebrand.
II will let it go this time," the judge
continued, but never let it happen
again. The next infraction means a
set-down for you for the balance of
the season.
Yesterday the ladies and the talent
had things all to themselves while the
bookmakers sat up and took notice.
Five favorites and one we'll played sec
ond choice got the long ends of the
purses. Each of the eighteen books
doing business at the track lost heavily
to the day. McCarey &5 Co. dropped
$3SO0, George Rose parted with about
$6OOO the San Francisco club lost
$780, the Oregon club contributed $26OO,
Pelter and Lynch $1,000, Butte club $4,000.
Barney Schreiber $500 and the other
eleven books from $500 to $4,000 each.
Light of Day backed from 3 to / to
2 to / captured the first race of the day
from Maggie Mackey and Anona. The
affair was for 3-year-olds that have not
started two or more times and won at
the meeting, selling, over six fur
longs of ground. Light of Day broke
in front at the rise of the barrier but
was taken back at the three eighths
pole. Fitzpatrick saved his mount for
the run home. The filly came on when
ready and had no trouble in dis
posing of her field.
The second race of the day found In
Happy Chappy next in demand at S
to .. Interlude got flying start and
took advantage of his position by set
ting fierce early pace Happy Chap
py was right there all the way and
to hold Marlborough safe at
the end. The latter ran a grand race
and with any kind of a start would
have been a dangerous contender. He
was practically left at the post but
went out after his field as though he
had gotten away on equal terms
Hans Wagner's win in the third race
scored the only victory of the day for
the books He was well played at 3
to 1 and hardly a penciller got out
winner on the race. Emperor of India
was always favorite and came in for
considerable support.
Hans Wagner and Emperor of India
raced out in front and ran eight fur
longs stride for stride. Swinging into
the stretch Hildebrand carried EN-
home Wagner had enough left to hold
the Emperor safe. Ellie was third.
Joe James crack gelding Descuento
romped home a winner in the fourth
race with Bologna second and Capt.
tanazo third. Descuento was played all
over the ring at to 2 to win, while
Bologna was best liked to run sec
ond. The books lost more TO this race
than any other two combined. Descu-
ento ran true to his best form and ne
gotiated the Slauson course in 1903 IL,
a half second slower than the track
record time held by Gold Rose.
The fifth race on the card, for four
year olds and upward over the Brooks
course, drew out field of five. Heather
Honey was rated as the best and ruled
favorite from the opening of the bet
ting. She went we'll under light
weight and scored an easy victory on
the end McDaniels was bit over con-
tdent and almost threw the race away.
Akela closed like a whirlwind on the
inside and would have caught the
leader in another jump or two. Heath
er Honey was much the best and could
have won by two open lengths had Nc
Daniels gone on about his business.
Jingler got the show from Cloverton.
The latter was well played and nat
tered his hackers for eight furlongs BIZ
running well up with Heather Honey.
Helgerson won the last race of the
day at the odds of s to 5 and well liked
at that price. Golden Ivy secured the
