Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-20


Consistent racing and of the sort that
evidences "out to win" characterized
the second days sport of the Los An
geles Harness Horse associations
meet at Agricultural park yesterday
afternoon.
Although two races were won on
straight heats, three in five, numerous
close finishes had the stands guessing,
as, breast to breast fields of three and
four came punched down the stretch.
AS an instance of the harlne wire
crossing that worried the judges during
a lively afternoon, the first heat Of the
2:D trot played a prominent part. 1t
had been long, hard tussle between
Katherine and Little Louise, and as the
mares came flying along the stretch
not person in the stands but arose
and gave vent to the enthusiasm that
wells up when lovers of the equine wit
hess "horse race"
Great Finish
Across the wire they passed with an
jimperceptible distance separating them
that the Judges made known only after
several minutes deliberation. The
ruling which allowed Katherine the
heat was eminently fair, as from the
front boxes Maben's mare appeared to
have an eyelash on the fast going
Louise.
Line special race WHICH Ildu DtGIl
scheduled to occur, with EARLY Bird
g,ing against time, was postponed and
will be contested today as a special
event, with Early Bird going against
Lew Derby in a race for the purpose of
marking the two.
I King Athby, driven by M. G. Liggett,
won the 2:25 pace in clever fashion,
and with the exception of the first heat
had no difficulty in solving the victory
problem.
Magladi had the pole in the first start
and was leading at the quarter with
King Athby and Jerusha coming fast.
Athby began creeping up and Tapped
until shortly before the. half had been
reached. With a sudden squirt Athby
again came on, this time passing Mag
ladi, out dropping back before entering
the stretch. Scarcely a length apart
the three rounded for the final run to
the wire, Magladi leading, Athby Sec
and and Miss Jerusha third.
Neck and neck King Athby and Mag
ladi fought it out from the seven
eighths pole, Athby winning after a
hard drive.
Magladi probably fought too hard in
the early going of the second heat and
King Athby again won, this time in
easy fashion.
In the third and last heat Magladi
broke soon after the first turn, but
made up considerable distance before
the stretch had been reached. Athby
again won a heat, which resulted in
the race being annexed on repetition
of heats.
Although Queer Knight easily cap
tured the first two heats of the 2:15
trot the third heat resulted in one of
the greatest finishes witnessed at Agri-
cultural. horse race and nothing less
proved the going, Queer Knight ahead
re%ar }, tirnra Of n
seconds duration at the half when
Belmont crept ahead, and for one fleet
ing moment in the stretch when at the
paddock Belmont had a whisker's ad-
vantage. Neck and neck they sped to
the wire, Queer Knight turning the
trick in clever fashion.
The e90 trot threatened to be of un-
certain quantity after Katherine an
nexed the first heat, then allowing
General Doodle to take the second. The
General was powerful and fit yesterday
and under the clever tutelage of Durfee
won landily in the three following
heats
