ARABIC Captures the Clos
ing Event
BY Forest Lowry

The 1nglewood Hurdle handicap with
$1,000 added money was the attraction
of a fair card which drew out good
half-holiday crowd, considering the
threatening weather and the sloppy
condition of the track. Seven started.
]. Hannas Milas, at to 1, was the
one most likely to beat the fayorite,
Nitrate. Immediately after the rise of
the barrier Sullivan on Milas found
himself in front and he proceeded to
set the pace, closely attended by Nj
trate and the extreme outsider" May
Holiday. These. three ran well to-
gether for nine furlongs with May Hol-
laday, who was in with 100 pounds oc-
casionaly taking the lead. At the sec
ond jump Can Nell stumbled and lost
his rider. May Holladay struck her
self going over the third jump and lost
considerable ground. She soon over
took the leaders and ran with them
head and head to the fifth fence, where
she again struck herself and dropped
hopelessly out of it,
I" FuIks' Good Ride
Nitrate went right on about his bus
mess and soon raced Milas into sub
mission. He had 1t all to himself after
taking the last hedge and won with
something to spare. CRATER came on
at the end with rush and easily got
the snow. ,.
Jockey Fulks, who had the mount on
the winner, rated his mount to perfec-
tion. The horse carried 172 pounds
and the boy was careful not to use his
charge up by setting any of the pace.
When the barrier was released Nitrate,
full of life, wanted to make runaway
race of it, but the, boy realized that the
horse would soon succumb If he at
tempted to lead the way for May Hol-
laday, who was in with only 1870 pounds.
Fulks kept Nitrate we'll up all the
way and as soon as he saw that Milas
had enough Urged his horse to the
front and won without firing him.
This boy is one of the best hurdlers on
the coast and If there is anything in
horse heis sure to get it out without
wearing the animal down.
Gadfly, at 8 to /, won the opening
event of the day after breaking fiat
footed. Lynch, who had the mount,
worked his way to the front steadily,
and catching White Stone, the favor
ite, in the last hundred yards passed
him like shot and scored, going away
fast. White Stone showed the most
speed for the first five furlongs. Man
era, backed for good thing, finished
third.
Descuento Wins
Henry McDaniels' $4,000 colt, Descu-
ento. won the. second race by a length
from Kehailan. who in turn finished
fifteen lengths in front of Edgecliffe.
Desduento, who was held at 3 to 10,
forced sharp pace for a quarter and
stole safe lead. Kehailan went right
after, the leader and made him hustle
some the final sixteenth.
Marlborough, receding from to to
10 to /, and with hardly a supporter,
captured the six furlongs sprint in
handy fashion from Cerro Santa, the
odds on favorite. Funny Side running
in the colors of G. p. McNeill, was
third. with I<omombo fourth. Trouble
ON Komombo appeared to ease his
mount up just before the wire was
reachedggand throw the show money
away. Jimmy Coffey,s Ocyrohe started
and rama bad race.
Fl. M.yTichenor's Loretta M, backed
from TO L to to 5, displayed a high
turn of speed in the fifth race and won
the Free Handicap at asmile and a six
teenth easily, with Requiter second
and Sais third. McDaniels took his
mount to the front early and never
left the result in doubt. Dugan on Re
gutter was of no assistance to his
mount and put up a very mild ride.
Arabos was wild horse yesterday
and in going exactly to his liking cap
tured the closing event without eX-
tending himself much. He was well
supported and went to the post carry
ing a ton OF the publics money. Duti-
full was second and Briarthorpe third
