Los Angeles herald., 1905-12-15


Marshal Ney ran an Indifferent race
and fnlsh-d third. being beaten two
lengths by Blissful. Wyeheld would
have been distanced on a harness
track.
The final race Of the day resulted In
an exercise gallop for Valencia, one OF
the second choices in the betting at As.
Sea Sick was the public choice against
Peggy O'Neal, the hOolies' selection.
Sea Sick is "a second edition of Don
Domo in appearance, being another
gray ghost and possessing p stout
heart, and ran second with much ease.
Lady I<ispar, owned by w. ~. Mil
lard was held as cheaply as go to ]
and refused to run accordingly getting
third position easily
SteepIeehase Today
The feature event on today's card is
the fourth steeplechasc handicap Of the
meeting.
Five timber-toppers have been en-
tered to contest I'm this event and Sec
etary-Handicapper Jasper has per
formed miracles I'm the assignments of
Weights
Allegiance is given top weight with
an impost OF 1iS pounds. This one
held the track record for the short
course until Killdoe smashed IL in his
maiden efforts over the jumps in the
first steepleChase race of the meeting
Allegiance also came back to life
Monday and equaled his former record
Of 3:01%. He was in light and ran an
unusually good race. He may repeat
today, but it is not history yet.
Killdoc has too much weight up to
outfoot the field again and the
schrieber entry will not be first under
the wire.
Cazador is so long overdue that
guessing as to what the Tupper gelding
will do is like shooting at the moon
with an air rifle.
Decimo looks best and is in lightly.
This one should repeat his past per-
fornances in clean fencing and with a
mere feather on his back should glide
under the wire eased up.
Cazador for the place is about the
best he can do this time and it is prob
able that Kildoe will contest every
inch of the way from the last jump.
1t may be that the result will be
Decimo, Cazador. Killdoc. However.
eternal fame awaits him who can pick
a jumping race going or coming.
Maidens Start
Maiden 2-year-olds will be given an
other opportunity Of earning brackets
today. Thirteen are entered to Journey
against time for oats over the Futurity
course.
There is but slight form to this race
and any of them have a chance to break
away from the maiden class. Astraea.
on past performances, seems to be the
best of a poor lot with Search Me
second and Hammeraway third.
The third race is a $500 selling affair
for the grandpas. nothing under 3-year-
olds being eligible to go to the post
Brigand has been uumerously
scratched out of other races this week
in an evident search for a soft spot.
If the big chestnut isn't in such a
mushy setting today he will never be.
AT his ordinary form Brigand should
romp over this field. Brigand lacks
considerably the makeup of NUT and
If he runs kindly today should be first
to complete the circuit.
Doctor G is right and ready and
Will give the winner strenuous ar
gument from the fall of the flag. Doc
tor 9 won from this class of runners
Wednesday, but did not set the world
afire by his performance and the
track record was never in danger
from him.
Hot may warm up to the going again
ana run another good race. in which
tH'ilt ilt VIII ne tlS GOOt as third.
Pettijohn and Chickadee may 20
some today, but the maximum speed
which they are capable of showing
under conditions which will prevail
today is not of the order which vi
clates speed ordinances.
Fast Ones to Go
The fourth race presents q difficult
problem for solution in that it is next
mr. soil 10 TO S,I1
speedy ones, NinnasquaW and Nc
Grathiana Prince, which seem to hold
the mile dash between them.
McGrathiana Prince is a consistent
knocker at the front door and has
wen twice since opening day, starting
five times. Under the skillCul plotting
Of Booker and Miller he has spread
eagled his fields.
Miller will have the mount today
and should cause the Regan g.Jding
to repeat his last race, when he
stepped mile in 1:41 and won easily.
Ninnasquaw will set the pace as
usual and may last long enough to
win. but Regan does not send his
charges to the post until they are
ready to do their best, and NinnasquaW
will have the job of a lifetime to de-
feat Prince today.
Wire In is due to make his initial
start at Ascot i'm this race, and if he
runs to his usual form he will be in
at the counting Of the money.
Luckett is another fair one that
should be considered as Il likely can-
didate for first honors, and if Owner
Joseph James has him ready he will
be hard To beat, but this is his first
out and has shown nothing in recent
months
The probabilities are that the Off
Cial result will be McGrathiana Prince
first. NinnasQuaw second and Wire In
third.
Babies to Go
Half a dozen two-year-olds will go
three-quarters in the NTH race for q
$500 purse. Good Luck has top weight
with Ia pounds.
This package win not be much of a
task for the Mcdaniel colt. as he has
shown a disposition to go at the same
speed under an kinds of weight
Good Luck has started but twice at
this meeting ANA has won both races
with comparative ease. History should
repeat itself today
Creston Boy Won his only start in
fair time and after the fashion Of a
stake horse, He should be- the con-
lender and has Ju txfalloDt gbau.c
