DR.. LEGGO BEATEN
BY BOMBARDIER
Big Surprise in the Handicap
BY FRED e. MULHoLLANp.

No fault could be found with the per-
formance Of DR.. Leggo in the $1,000
handicap over one and an eighth miles
yesterday at Oakland track. Allotted
lO9 pounds, the three-year-ol con-
ceded weight to the half-dozen start
| ers. Under moderately good handling
he was then beaten out half a dozen
lengths in a hard drive by Bombardier,
100-pounder and so to in the betting.
Bombardier is a horse capable of run
ming good race when he feels like
II and when the track suits him. The
; course was slow yesterday, and, Wig
orously ridden by Tommy Clark, he led
from start to finish. On his recent races
chance, and only those willing to take
shot at the moon cashed any paste
boards.
NIGRETTE'S POOR LUCK.
Nigrette, which finished third, might
have been keen contender at the end
but for some iii racing luck.
!. Favoritvs captured four purses. The
books did; not lack patronage, and the
attendance was up to the standard.
Achelita, the Napa Stock Farm en-
try, made a romp of the -year-old
dash. Ridden by Tooman and a to
10 favorite. the daughter of Libertine
ran home two lengths before Southern
Lady, the second choice Third place
went to April's Pride.
Only last Monday Baker was favor
1te for sprint won by Sun Rose. With
Birkenruth in the saddle he ran
fourth. In the second event yesterday
Knapp piloted Baker and to 1 went
begging. Sincerity Belle looked a GER
tainty, but after Mcbride had finished
with his calisthenic exercises the
M 1nf of L ho
sion by half a length. Lloyd Foun-
tain on Calculate was third.
HULFORD is FAVORITE.
ing blank and Hulford went to the
post an even money chance for the
Futurity course selling number. The
gelding won in a big gallop, Albemarle
disposing of Yellowstone for the place.
Any price looked good against An
drew Mack, and Billy Cahill's horse
came home at his leisure for the mile
selling affair. Hainault, the second
choice, made the pace for six furlongs
and then lost the place to Stilicho,
10 to 1 shot.
There is a late play in the ring at
Oakland that the form chart people
miss, and the judges as we'll. When
everything is apparently set and the
dealer is ready to spin the ball this
coin then comes to the surface. Della
goa won the last race, backed off the
boards toward the last, but 1T is Solo
mons mine to a rags, bottles, sacks
wagon that the mare had assistance.
If she did not, then what happened to
her in the handicap on Tuesday. when
every SharpShOOter on the track played
Misty's Pride? In yesterdays race
Jones waited with Magrane until sun
down before moving up. Bell got
a. Na+0 nd
riding of Birkenruth, astride Judge,
was a nightmare and delusion.
TRACK NOTES..
Tooman was the only rider to pilot
two winners.
BuIlman and Birkenruth left for
Los Angeles last evening, where each
will have a mount in the two-year-
old stake to be run to-day at Ascot
Park. The former will probably con-
tinue on to Memphis, but Birkenruth
returns to Oakland.
G. w. Berry superintendent of Napa
Stock Farm, was granted letters OF
guardianship over Solomon Bonner,
the colored Jockey, yesterday by Judge
ogden of Oakland. The action was
| taken with the consent of the rider s
| father a minister of Willitsville, S. c.
| Bonner's guardian stated yesterday
| that w. B. Jennings could have con-
| tract for the boys services If will
| ing to pay as much for the same as
