were all of medium size.
Mudlarks had an inning and in
most instances the public picked the
right one, as two favorites, two sec
ond choices and two heavily backed
outsiders got home under the wire and
the bookmakers closed the day loser.
What looked to be serious accident
occurred in the first race. The horses
broke to a false, start and while Start
er Hoffman was lodging Baranca he
stepped in front of Barato, who
knocked him down unconscious. After
a delay of ten minutes Hoffman re-
covered and sent the field away in
line. Cazador, DR.. Logan and william
Parrish were the first to show and
ran in this order for the first turn of
the field when William Parrish dropped
back beaten and Tom Cogan, the fav-
orite, took third place. Cazador with
his light weight, although urged
through the stretch, won. The favorite
then made a bid but the weight was
too much for him and he had all he
could do to save the place from Ba-
ratio, who finished strong. The latter
ran a good race for a maiden effort
and will win soon.
Morendo Favorite
On the strength of his good races in
Oakland Morendo was made a hot
favorite for the second race. Lega-
tee was heavily backed for the place at
even money and 4 to 5. Young Davis
was backed from 12 to to 1, and al
though he was sore going to the post,
he took the lead after the barrier was
released, closely followed by Atkins
and Morendo, while Legatee was trail
ing. Atkins stopped at the turn for
him and Morendo moved up on equal
terms with Young Davis, but stopped
suddenly. Davis looked to be winning
easily when Legatee came with rush
and under a vigorous drive just failed
to get up. Morendo was easily third.
Oratorian could not untrack himself.
A good thing was put over in the
third race. Josie was as good as 5
to 1, but the heavy support hammered
her price to 21s to l. She was very
lucky to score, as she was given a
good ride by Preston, who outrode
Archibald on DIR. Crook. The latter
had world OF, early speed. Edwin T.
Fryer came in for heavy play, most
1y for show, and just did nip out Re-
member on the wire for show honors.
Ray Egan showed speed, but is wind
broken.
Good Thing in Fourth
Another good thing was put over in
the fourth race. Chantilly, who was
prepared on a track at San Jose, was
made the medium of a big killing,
most of which was taken from the
pool rooms all over the country. Chan
tilly opened at and his price drifted
back to 10 to when a steady play sent
him to the post at 8 to 1.
He scored a lucky win, as Don Do
mo was best. Chantilly went to the
front closely followed by Don Domo,
who tried to get through on the rail
but was forced to pull up and go
around, which lost him the race, as he
just did fail to get up in time to win.
was a heavy play on Bryan, but he
was not good enough to win, though
Harris was launching him all the way.
Judge Denton made it four straight
when he annexed the fifth race. Book
er allowed Betsy to make the pace and
when ready sent the gelding on to
win handily by a length. Confessor,
well handled by Heatherton, was do
ing his best all the way, but was not
good enough. Betsy stopped badly in
the final sixteenth. 1t was a strictly
three horse affair, as the betting in
dicated.
FaVorite Left
Sea Sick was whispered in all cor
ners of the betting ring as a good
thing. She opened at 9 to 5, but the
money came pouring in till she went
to the post at to 5. Elizabeth f was
backed down point, to close at 13 to
13 to 5. Harris on the favorite was
caught mapping and was left. All
Black ana Elizabeth r opened a gap
Of five lengths the first quarter. Turn
ing into the stretch All Black quit and
Kent brought on Cicely to win by two
lengths easily. Elizabeth had to be
ridden out to beat Lisbia for place.
