SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 9.-With no
one but the pikers and a few who were
supposed-before the race-to know no
better supporting him, Jack Nunnally,
with Jockey Butler up, nosed out Mont
goJuery in the Opening handicap at En-
eryville this afternoon and provided the
biggest upset of Oakland's inaugural day
of the 1907-S meeting.
The victory was not a popular one, for
Nunnally was not conceded a chance and
was practically unsupported in the bet
ting. Montgomery and Veil, the Hildreth
pair, were supposed to have the race ct
their mercy, and they carried the bulk of
public money when the fourth race was
called. Next in fancy came the Carman
entry, Acrobat and Arimo, and liberal
contribution poured into the boolSies'
strong boxes when 3 to was chalked
up on them.
Butler gave the winner of the feature
anything but a perfect ride, yet he won
without the help of his rider. Nunnally
was allowed to swerve all over the course
and at the head of the stretch did not
appear to have a chance. He closed ike
a cyclone and nipped Montgomery right
on the post, winning by a nose.
The weather was ideal for an opening
day, and at least 10000 persons passed
through the turnstiles at the Emeryville
course. The track was lightning fast, as
is attested by the time of the races run,
and with twenty-eight books doing busi-
ness in the big ring the day was ex-
tremely lively Despite the tightness o.
the money market play was brisk, ana
every race was the signal for plenty OF
coin changing hands.
r. F. Carman, the New York horse
man, and his jockey, Guy Burns, 1areo
we'll and easily took the honors of open
ing day. Elizabeth f., Magazine ana
Ed Ball were all piloted to victory by
the clever rider, who also finished third
in the handicap with Carmans Acrobat,
and got the show with Progress in the
onener Because of his boys skill IN
the saddle Carman beat the books hand-
somely. and experienced one OF the pes'
days ever recorded on tn local cours.
