Killing on Miss Betty
II. Walker sent Miss Betty under the
wire first in the third race and thereby
depleted the bookies' bank rolls by sew
eral thousand dollars.
This is Walkers second killing in two
days, Lucian winning Thursday at long
odds for him and Miss Betty cashed for
him at EOS yesterday.
Miss Betty was the class of her field
and proved to be a stake horse among
a bunch of platers. She was a good
thing and nearly everybody at the track
knew she was expected to win for an
other killing.
The opening odds were at COS but the
play was SO brisk and continuous that
this price was successfully erased and
reduced until only to l was offered at
post time
Miss Betty was first away from the
post and was never worse than that
position from flag fall to the wire. Five
lengths back of her trailed the field at
the head of the stretch and the Walker
filly won eased up.
Freesias was hustled by Moriarity into
second place, although the Baird mare
ran over her field in the stretch and
was safe in the place by half dozen
lengths.
Hot was neglected in the market and
floated from IS to 12S and outgamed
Brigand in the drive home, getting the
peep position by n length.
The fourth race was annexed by Nc
Grathiana Prince at good odds and in
fast time, the Regain gelding stepping
the mile in 1401a. Ninnasquaw was
played by the pikers as If the numbers
had been hung up-in advance and she
delighted the crowds by getting away in
frn nd Ia CT, Of
running until into the stretch, when she
split Il hoof and stopped, finishing
third.
II. T. Griffin turned loose his Masetto
gelding, Massa, for his first start this
season and the big and shifty runner
was only beaten Il head by the speeding
McGrathiana Prince under the wire.
Good Luck Wins
Good Luck romped home first in the
fifth race from a fieldd of fair ones.
This was his third start and third win
at this meeting and so strong was the
fancy for his chances of winning that
the bookies made him the shortest
priced favorite of the meeting laying
the liberal odds of l to against him.
Stoessel was the runner-up and these
two held the race between them from
the start to the finish. Stoessel looked
the winner in the stretch, when he
passed Good Luck and opened up lead
of nearly two lengths, but the Tichenor
colt came again and ran over him.
Creston Boy ran consistently and
landed in third place after fierce drive
with Charles Green through the
stretch.
Revolt won the final race of the day
and incidentally furnished the medium
for another raid on the bookies' treas
ury, as the Gilbert mare was highly
fancied by the speculators.
Dugan sent her to the front at the
start and she breezed home in the lead
without urging. winning OH her own
courage, as Dugan needed only to sit
still and ride.
Graceful was the faVorite but the
task of outfooting Revolt was too great
for Lyman's Goldfinch filly and Sec
ond was the best she could get.
Ebony ran a game race, finishing
third after n whirlwind finish from
nowhere in the stretch. Susie Christian
bolted as the barrier was sprung and
was left gazing after the vanishing
field.
Miller had one mount yesterday, rid
ing McGrathana Prince first under the
wire in the fourth race. Miller is riding
in great form now and is showing the
article that made him famous as a star
pilot of racers,
Buchanan again rode two winners in
one day, sending Hammeraway and
Good Luck over the plate for the Tiche-
nor stable. He was out of the money
once in three mounts, DR.. McCarty be-
ing his unplaced mount
