Dutch Horse Wins
Hoot Mon won for Billy oliver in
the opening battle of the day, and as
good as so to 1 could have been had
against his chances This merely sup
ports the superstition that no tavorlte
can win the first race Of the day.
Sweet Kitty was expected to win.
but she was not equal to the occasion.
She could not catch the fast flying
putchman. Hoot Mon ran great race,
being off ninth and faring poorly In
the run to the stretch, where he showed
up In fourth place
From the stretch to the wire 1t was
O duel between Hoot Mon and Sweet
Kitty and the Oliver colt was so un-
gallant that he could not allow his
girl friend to win.
A head separated them at the wire,
With Hoot Mon first Sweet Kitty sec
ond and Esther b, the favorite, third.
Louie Bonsack sent Cotillion over the
plate in the second race and made all
his friends get down with a ptking
bet, al least.
on form, Cotillion figured to win this
race, but the bookes offered as good
as to and the gang snapped It UP in
a riot call
"Puddin" Mcdaniel rode the winner
and gave her a hustllng time of 1t
through the stretch, finally engaging
her to stick it out to the wire with
nearly a length to the good.
Cheripe, the perpetual and never
ceasing good thing, made amends for
past performances by getting out in
front and staying there until Cotillion
overlook her She chucked it and
ran second, doing herself an honor
thereby.
Exapo ran a game race and had not
"Puddin' cut him off in the final
strides by riding closer to the rail than
usual Exapo might have got the ver-
dict. However. he got the show money,
which was pretty good.
Boots" Cashes
Boots" Durnel, who has become
inoculated with the habit, put another
good thing over yesterday when Prince
actually won race.
Although the bookies were scared
half to death because Boots" had an
entry in this race they laid to
against his chances and took all the
money Boots wanted to wager, which
was whole lot.
At the end Prince Silverwings got all
The first money and Marshal Ney was
content with the place, while Morita
secured the show.
Morita was expected to do great
things here, but the Spreckels filly was
high in flesh and her race was a
grand one under the circumstances.
Masedo won the final race and the
price laid against his chances was
ridiculous when his form is considered.
The good odds of 25 to l was not de-
served and when the line of lucky ones
stacked up behind the books after this
race, a riot call would not have sup
Piled the necessary force to pay off.
Masedo got away to flying start,
thanks to Jockey Doyle, and it was
1a-ha from there to the wire.
Money Muss ran his usual consistent
race and finished second, but Eugenia
Burch nor Big Ben could have done
much better.
j, L. Holland thought he had a
double riveted cinch on this race with
but third was the best he
could get for his $500.
Masedo ran to form and covered the
course in 1:10, which is good
time. all things considered, and this one
will beat lot of them from now on.
OIeepiechaSe oday
After a weeks vacation the usual
event will hold the boards
today, and Vencdo, a new starter,
should get the money.
Decimo is touted for a good thing
but the weights will keep this one from
doing anything extraordinary.
Lady Usk has been thoroughly
to the hurdles and should go
we'll in this company, but third is the
best she should get.
The finish should be Vencido, Decimo,
Lady Usk.
Gulliver should win the baby race
Horace e should be second and Edwin
I. Fryer should be third.
Sanfara has cinch on the third
event and should romp all the way.
,onde may be the contender and Lady
Walker for the show looks good.
Orilene should repeat and win the
weekly $1,000 handicap, Ebony is the
me the Curl entry should beat for first
money. A. Muskoday is a moral for
he show.
Blissful may get brackets in the
'ourth, after beating Worthwhile and
iaviland. The order of the finish
should be Blissful, Worthwhile, Havi-
and.
Tim Hurst is due to win. Interlude
S fast breaker and should get the
place. Prince Magnet looks good for
The show.
Boots" Durnell more than won back
he $4,000 he lost on Big Ben when the
zig thoroughbred was twice jammed
nto the fence. Big Ben was almost
eft at the post yesterday and merely
5alloped until in the stretch, when the
equine giant began to run some. He
'omped from the stretch to the wire
md demonstrated the actual difference
between class and speed. Big Ben
S the idol of the race-going public
and 1 to on him is considered liberal
odds. Yet. when he is beaten by chance
'r by design of roughriders, the general
public mourns the downfall of the best
horse. Should the jockey club arrange
match race between Big Ben and
Bearcatcher at six furlongs, the big
black would carry all the local money
and a riot would ensue should anyone
dare to breathe the suspicion that
Bearcatcher was the best horse Big
Ben is right now. as he demonstrated
yesterday, and can negotiate six fur
longs in 1;l2 without getting up
sweat. If there is anything on the
coast that can take his measure i'm
