The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1906-12-12

Notwithstanding that the match race
between Cruzados, Shot Gun and FIRE
ball has been called off on account or
track conditions, an interesting card
has been prepared for today's racing at
Emeryville and some rare sport is in
sight.
The feature of the card will be the
Fairy Rose handicap at mile, for
which seven high-class horses have
been entered. including w. B. jennings
Proper, W. w. Elliott's Don Hamilton.
c. C. McCafferty's DR.. Lego. Doc.
RowelTs Corrigan and Rubric, stevens
g. Sons Ramus and Case and Stemlers
Critical Every one of these horses is
well-known mud runner and a stirring
contest should result. Proper will be
ridden by Jockey Brown, L. Williams
will be up on Don Hamilton, W. Miller
will ride Corrigan and Sandy will be
on Rubric. Brussell will probably ride
DR.. Leggo.
Proper has been assigned top weight
of LA pounds. but should be able to
handle the impost quite comfortably
He is in rare form just now and unless
Don Hamilton is a better colt than he
has yet shown himself should win. The
Elliott colt ran a good race when he
won from Mary F, a few days ago. and
may be depended upon to be right there
Ut the end. 1t will be DR.. Leggo's first
appearance of the season in California,
after an unsuccessful campaign in the
East. McCafferty's double derby win
ner is said to be right on edge and as
fit as fiddle, and may prove trouble
some factor in the running OF the race.
Corrigan's ability to run under the
track conditions that will prevail today
is unquestioned and Miiler's horseman-
ship will help the old campaigne- con-
siderably. Critical is rare mudder,
but looks to be outclassed. Ramus ran
one good race when he defeated Logis
tilla, but has since performed irdiffer-
emily. Rubric has only an outside
chance.
Another race on today's card that
will be fought with some significance
is the fifth. for 2-year-olds at six fur
longs. This event will DE in the ma
ture of a prep for the Pacific Union
handicap which is to be run on S.ltur-
day Barney Schneider has entered
Tony Faust and Sam Barber, two of his
most promising youngsters. and the
former should be able u annex the
purse. Ocean Shore, winner OF four
races since the opening of .ae meeting,
will hook up with Faust In this race
and the result will be looked forward
to with interest, as many consider
Ocean Shore colt with some preten-
sion In class and are anxious to see
how he will perform in better company
than he has heretofore met. Another
youngster in whom much interest is
taken is Durnel1s Temaceo. This one
vanquished some fair fields at New
York and may turn out to be a crack
ajack. The others in the race appear
to be outclassed
David Boland looks to be the class of
the opener and is At. Hersain and
Jake Ward promise TO be the con-
tenders. Laura f M is a superlative
mudder and looms up as the probable
winner of the second. with Salable and
Neptunus as the dangerous contenders
Neptunus Is fair platter brought from
the East by Boots Durnell and this
is his first start here.
Baker looks the best of the moderate
lot in the third and will probably have
to beat Yellowstone and Hersain at
the end. Invader is likely to be a hot
tip in this race.
The sixth, at five and half furIonRs.
looks like tough nut to crack. Angle
ia, Delagoa, Hector, Grasscutter and
Gossiper must be conceded a chance
and the start will undoubtedly cut con-
siderable igure in determining the re-
suit. Delagoa has run two races be-
ing only nosed out on both occasions
and may be able to win in this field to-
day. She will be ridden by A. Brown.
who is good boy at the post She Is
game and will fight 1t out right to the
wire. Grasscutter is fast and looks
like the one the winner will have to
beat. K. Davis will have the mount
on this fiIIy
