Fldnnery Bad Riding
Cause of Much
Complaint
rEsrERnAY,s wINNERs
By J. r. Jeffery

The defeat of four favorites al
lowed the Emeryville bookmakers
70 add a little more to their bank
rolls Yesterday. The racing was
Of a mediocre sort, the fields lack
ing class and most of the events
being easily won. Three outsid-
FRS at good prices gladdened the
hearts of their hackers by finish
ing in front. Two favorites and
a second choice took the remain
ing events. Distributor and At
kins were the only winners that
were not backed TO some extent.
Orchan, well handled by Jockey
Graham, retrieved the recent de-
feats that he had sustained
through poor racing luck. Marion
Rose. one OF Barney Schreiber's
Balgowan FLIES, made good in
impressive style, and must here
after be given consideration
among the best of the juveniles.
Benvolio, poorly ridden by the ap-
prentice boy. Flannery, again
dumped the talent, and consider
able complaint is heard because the
stewards permit such a poor boy to
keep on riding q horse that figures as
a contender in every race in which he
is likely to start While II is true that
the boy won with the horse his first
out. the two rides that he has since
nut uu are considered nothing short Of
disgraceful. 10 say the least.
EACH WITH ELEVEN STARTERS
Eleven maidens lined up for the
opener, with Joe Yeager's Nina Gibson,
ridden by Mcintyre, as a heavily played
1870 favorite. Midmont, with A. Brown
up. opened as second choice at 81,
went back to 81 and was played down
at post time TO Al.
Katie Crews. Black Sam and Mid
mont went TO the front right after the
start. Crews and Sam set the pace to
the three-Quarters, where Midmont as
suned the lead and won in a drive by a
neck from the favorite, which Mcintyre
had had in q pocket most of the Jour
rey. Black Sam. full brother to Sad
Sam. was a distant but easy third, at
g long price. The others were beaten
way of.
There were also eleven starters in
the two-year-old event. Marion Rose,
with the maiden jockey, Jarrett, up,
made a runaway race of it, going TO
the front with the raising Of the bar
rier and winning, eased up, by seven
lengths from Peerless Lass, the second
choice. ridden by z. Dugan, the midget
apprentice boy. The winner was as
good as 81 at one stage Of the betting
and went TO the post at 81. Plausible,
the well supported 2-1 favorite, with
Sandy in the saddle, was prominent for
time. but faded away in the stretch
run. Graham landed the 12-1 shot
third. Triumphant, from the Keene
stable, failed TO run up to expectations.
sANDY's DARING RIDE
Distributor, the longest priced win
ner OF the day, took the measure of
eleven platers over the Futurity course.
This useful performer IS owned by
frankie Neil, the bantam-weight pu-
gilist, and Tommy Sandys daring ride
cut an important figure in the victory
of the horse. After getting away
poorly Sandy moved up gracefully and
came into the stretch behind Soundly
and Titus, the pace-makers. For a mo-
n1ent II looked as il he would not be
able to get through in time to win, but
when the least bit of an opening on the
rail presented itself Sandy was quick
TO take advantage of 1t and drove Dis
tributor through to win easily by q
half length from the fast coming Met
lakatlR on which Eddie Walsh put ur
8 vigorous finish. after coming from
far back In the stretch run. Soundly
the tiring pace-maker, saved the show
from Sheen by a neck. The first two
horses both closed at 12-1 and Sound
ly's price was almost as good. Titus
the heavily played favorite, quit after
~.
probably short.
Comilfo, played down from s-5 to
even-money favoritism, won the fourth
easily from the greatly improved Lord
Nelson. Mcintyre was up on the win
ner and Sandy had the mount on the
contender. Rosearo heavily played
could DO no better than third. There
was a tip on Schreiber's Banposal. to
which some Of the talent fell, but Ban
posai ran as IL a race or two would be
beneficial Chief Whitman, another
horse on which there was tip, showed
little.
ORCHAN'S EASY VICTORY
Orchan won from Ralph Young as far
as Jockey Graham desired in the next
Grahams handling of the Ramsey
horse was a. distinct Improvement over
the way he had been piloted in his last
two or three starts and it was only a
gallop for Orchan when Graham sent
him to the front after laying second To
Peter in the early running. Exapo, a
1901 shot. beat out Byronerdale the
hot tip OF the race, as well as Mai Low
cry for the show.
In the final race of the day, public
support was divided between LazeIl
and Benvolio, the two choices The
former was played down from Al to
1875. but both failed to finish inside
the money. Atkins displaced Governor
Davis as pace-maker at the three
quarters and won as his rider. A
Brown. pleased. Watercure. maintain
ing a prominent position throughout
came strong at the finish and beat Gov
ernor Davis for the place easily. Ben
volio. suffering from incompetent hand
ling by Flannery, the stable boy. was
never a contender, and finished fan
back. The winner ran the mile in the
good time of 1:40 AS.
