The San Francisco call., 1906-12-24

The outlook for form players at
Emeryville today is not particularly
promising, as the card is sadly lack
ing in class and ii does not look easy
10 pick the winners in any of the races
The opening event will be a five-fur
long sprint for maiden -year-old
fliies. with twelve entries The ones
that look to have a chance include
Furze. Jezebel. Pescadera and Rose
Cherry The last named ran a fairly
good race her last out after getting
away poorly, and If she gets off we'll
today is likely to win, as she has the
speed OF the field. Furze has run in
the money several times in similar
fields. Jezebel ran one good race. Pes
cadera ran second her last out and
viii probably have the benefit of Mil
lers skill in the saddle. Sachet a we'll
bred flly from Rudolph Spreckels'
stable, makes her debut and will be
ridden by Knapp. Ardenes is thought
highly Of but has shown nothing in
his previous starts Lady Laughter.
from the Keene stable. is an unknown
quantity. Gala starts for the first
time.
Prince Nap and Leila Hill appear to
be the contenders in the second. As
Miller viii probably ride the former
and an apprentice boy the latter, Prince
Nap should graduate from the maiden
BearslSin may prove dangerous. Varro
was formerly good horse. but does
not seem 10 be In shape. Jake Moose
has an outside chance.
If Clandestine can go the route he
viii probably win the third at one and
a sixteenth miles. Miller is likely to
have the mount Monaco Maid, Cap
tain Burnett, Alma Boy and Ellie are
all dangerous and il would not be sur
prising if any one OF them won the
race.
The fourth is a tough one. Andrew
Mack is the class OF the race and ran a
good third his only out, but will have
an apprentice boy UP, whose merits as
2 rider remain to be determined. Baker
has been performing consistently and
may win II Mack does not. Prestige
has speed and may be able to stick 1t
eut today. Jackfulls last race was a
miserable one. W. B. Gates must be
conceded a chance. San Reno is good
row, but is hardly likely TO repeat in
this company. Anvil likes a heavy
track rather than a muddy course
King Cole has shown little in his starts
here and is sulker, but may wake up
one OF these days and run his race.
The fifth is equally difficult to size
UP. Blagg. Sainrida, Clamer, Grace G,
Fair Fagot and Convent Bell all look
10 have a chance. Blagg was a high
class performer last season, but went
lame in his prepe ratory work for this
seasons races. He looks fit now Sain-
rida ran some good races for Barney
Schreiber on the Kentucky tracks and
is a highly priced FLY. Grace G's last
race was good Clamor closed well in
the Pacific-Union handicap. when he
ran fourth to Tony Faust, Temaceo and
Arimon. Fair Fagot was a winner In
the Middle West last summer and ran
g creditable race his only OUT finishing
a fast coming third 10 Sam Barber and
Convent Bell after getting away poorly.
Boloman, Hector and Cloudlight look
best In the last race of the day, six
furlong sprint Hector and Cloudlight
have a high turn of early speed and
may Kill each other OF and allow Bolo-
man TO win. The latter has been run
ming creditable races and his second to
Nealon gives him a chance to win.
Shady Lad has been a consistent per-
former in cheaper fields, but looks to
be UP against IL here Judge will prob
ably quit as usual, although he may
run a better race if he is unable to get
20 the front, as seems likely Wooima
has been a disappointment and ran
third in his last start principally be-
cause the contenders had been killed
of by following the fast early pace.
