Los Angeles herald., 1905-12-11

a stake horse in the three-quarters dash
Friday and packed ten pounds more
weight than he will have UP today.
IL he is saved in the early stages,
Alsono, Rubric and La Londe win be
too far away when he is set down TO
catch them, while he will fade into
nothing if sent after the purse in the
start.
Under these conditions, It appears to
be too far from the barrier to the wire
for Don and he will do well to finish
In the money.
Rubrie to Win
Rubric is the boy they will all have
TO beat today. His first out was Sat
urday, and Borghesi only beat him In
the mile by running it in 1:40M to a
nose finish.
Rublic led i'm this race until almost
to the wire, firing of the fast pace on
his first out. He will not tire today
and the Saturday clip will win today.
La Londe was withdrawn from the
Riverside handicap and saved for this
race, and will be hard to beat today,
but Rubric will turn the trick La
Londe should be the contender and
close up at the finish.
Lucky" Baldwln's horses are in fine
fettle now and are i'm winning form.
If Pacifico docs not beat Don Domo for
the show IL will be a surprise to many.
Prominence is the entry that the
other thirteen will have to run after
in the second race il she gets away
from the post in any position among
the first seven.
Prominence was off next to- last i'm
the second race Friday and was only
beaten a nose by Valencia in 1:0t1s,
and can go the distance I'm 1901 with
ease.
Dr. Mccarthy will have better rae
ing luck today and will be the con-
tender. Lacenc will be fighting It out
with the medical horse, but Stubbs
speedy one should get the place from
the Williams filly.
Borgian Looks Good
The Borgian will not have much to
beat in the fifth race, and the 11lmwood
entry should romp. This one is a full
brother to Borghes and while not as
good as the Riverside handicap win
ner, is good enough to beat tho field
against him today.
Kunz will have the mount and this is
an advantage. The Borgian is slow
beginner and Kunz knows his dispo-
stion better than any boy on the
track
Sheriff Bell will set the pace, but
cannot last the distance, and will give
way when The Borgian gets after
him.
Golden Light is overdue and should
land in the place. beating Hot in the
stretch drive home. Hot likes the dis
tance, and if he is in good humor
today will run into the money.
The last race a Futurity course dash,
seems to be made to order for Golden
Rule. The Durnell gelding is slowly
to form and runs to a better
mark in every race.
The 129 pounds assigned to his bacl;
will not bother him IN the least, as the
good and speedy Golden Garter boy
has carried 140 pounds and done time
that would give all these today Il case
of acute seaSicknesS.
Golden Rule will not be favorite and
place odds will be offered, which will
make the speculator liable to punish
ment for stealing by taking the book
les money.
Red Damsel will be the runner-up
and this one will go some today. Tho
daughter of Hastings is bullet at
this distance, and if right will cause
Golden Rule to hasten slightly.
Beautiful and Best is so good that
should the front runners hesitate any
in the finals the Bondy beauty will
cop the grand prize.
With fourteen horses in the race
there will be in the neighborhood of a
dozen good things, none of which will
win. There is noihing in the race
good enough to beat Golden Rule do
ing anything in the running line ex-
cept falling down or jumping over the
infield fence.
Jockey Johnny Bullman will ride for
j. L. Holland in future, it is reported. |
With the leg up on the Holland entries, |
Bullman will have little difficulty in
making a good record on the coast this |
as few stables can compete with
this one on the seasons racing.
Jockey Miller will be seen in the
saddle for the first time this season at
Ascot. Miller is one of the crack |
riders from the east who believes in |
keeping busy during the winter sea-
son and his ability as a pilot insures
him all the mounts he cares to accept. |
Tim Payne, holder of the seven fur
long track record at Ascot is in the |
final race today, Payne is by Star
Ruby and is owned by ]. A. Weinberg |
and trained by J. J. McCafferty. This |
will be his first out in several months
and his conduct will be watched with
much interest.
Handzarra has a clean record in every |
start, having gone to the post four times
and breezed away from the fields in
each instance. That this one is the boss
Of all the local sprinters is generally |
accepted, and when Big Ben rounds to
mis- best form, a meeting between them
will be the occasion for much enthus-
asm between the admirers of each.
Jack Keene, who owns the contract |
on the services of Jockey II. Radtke,
the crack eastern boy now riding at |
Emeryville, was offered $4,000 for his |
contract by New York turfman at |
San Francisco Saturday and he de- |
clined it, saying that twice the sum
would not tempt him to sell the con-
tract.
The injury sustained by Fireball in !
his last race, when Big Ben jumped on |
him at the stretch run, is not as severe
as was at first reported. The great
campaigner is rounding to and will
