GILP|N MEDIUM
OF KILLING
THOUSANDS CHANGE HANDS
ON SECOND RACE
Two Riders FaII-Tatten-

Odds

enced since the meeting opened, as
four favorites, to / and 30 to shot
won. Probably one of the greatest
killings ever pulled off at this track
occurred when Gilpin won the second
race. Hal Booker gave this one a spe-
ciaIs"prep" and expected 25 to for his
money. but the good thing leaked out
and while some fortunate bettors got
as good as 10 and to for their money,
the bulk Of it was placed at to and
to /.
one prominent bookmaker said that
at least $4,000 was taken out of the
betting ring and judging from pool
room reports all over the country there
was at least 100000 won on Gilpin.
Boland got him away well and after
running head and head with Joyner
and Willie Gregg for quarter he sent
him on to win easily by two lengths
from Netting.
The latter had no excuses. In drive
I,uckett got up in time to beat out
Joyner q head for show money. Jock
ey Boland received quite an ovation on
his return to the scales, as everybody
at the track seemed to have a bet on
Gilpin.
The steeplechase race was a farce
after Brennus, the favorite, and Thad-
deus fell at the second jump. Vim
cedo carried Decimo out of the course
the first time around. Indian II, q 6
to 1 shot, had things all to himself.
Decimo went back over the course and
was second alone. Vincedo finished
within the time limit and got third.
The boys who rode Brennus and Thad-
deus escaped injury.
A poor lot of maidens faced Starter
Dwyer in the third race with Manera
q g. Me-, ,nfn
choice at to 1 and Merry Sport was
backed from 80 to 20 to 1. Manera got
away flying with My Choice second
and Libertinus third. Harris tried to get
through an impossible opening and
was shut out and could never make up
the lost ground to catch Manera, fin
ishing second to her.
Libertinus tired badly in the stretch
when challenged for show money by
Merry Sport and Fro Pyro and the
latter was beaten a head by Merry
Sport. The others were never in the
hunt.
Gorgalette, backed from as good as
z to to to 10, won the fourth race
from Jetsam, but had to be ridden out
the final sixteenth to stall off Jetsam.
Lille b, always close to the pace, had
things her own way after Reservation
sulked.
The latter ran over a dog at the three
sulk. Stilicho is not near to form dis
played earlier in the season. Jockey
Harris was fined $40 by the starter for
bad behavior at the post on Jetsam.
Bragg was made to 1 favorite in
the fifth race. Revolt was played
from 8 to II to 5, Elmdale was backed
point to close at to l, and King OF
Mist closed at 40 to 1. Bragg and Eliza
beth F got away flying and the gray
filly showed her heels to Bragg until
the far turn, where Bragg took the lead
and was ridden out to stall off King of
Mist and Elmdale, which finished fast,
heads apart in the order named.
Mcdaniel pulled up Revolt at the
start for no apparent reason and had
only a slight chance thereafter. Ed
Tracy showed speed for five furlongs
After Bragg won he was boosted to
$1,000 by G. T. Boots, but the extra
five sent him back to his old barn.
The public had lovely time trying
to pick the winner in the sixth race.
First they went to Redwood II and
backed him from 21A to 1, then Matte
Bumppo was played from to 1 to IL
to and Lydia Wrouseman, j. V. Kir-
by and Viona came in for a heavy
play.
Tattenham held his own at all stages
of the betting at so to 1. Redwood II
got away flying and opened a gap of
three lengths on the back stretch with
Lydia .1Wrouseman second and Matte
third. The latter hung out signals Of
distress turning into the stretch when
Lydia collared him.
Tattenham and J. V. Kirby came fast
on the outside and the former beat
Lydia easily. The latter just lasted
long enough to save the place from ].
v. Kirby.
r. f. Carman, the millionaire turf
man from NaW York and nraSidanf of
the Horse Show association in that city,
is acting as judge, at the Pasadena
horse show.
Jockey Butwell was set down one
week by, the starter for disobedience
at the post in the second race.
Probabilities for Today
A fair sort of card has been ar
ranged for this afternoon with the
handicap at a mile the feature event.
The first race is a very open affair
as Antara, Elfin King, Tim Hurst and
Interlude figure so closely that it is
hard to separate them. Antara, If she
performs to her works, should be the
one they will have to beat. Eltln King
viii go we'll If the afternoon is bright
as he Is wind broken, and hould come
second. Tim Hurst should beat out In
terlude, the gutter for third money
Nuns Yelling has an outside chance to
finish among the first three.
The second race may go to Norfolk.
He has the speed of the bunch and is
game. Halton should about finish a
bang-up second. and has a chance to
beat the top one. Red Garter should
beat Zelina for the short end of the
Nurse. Otto Price has an outside
chance to be I'm the money.
Chancellor Walworth,- If he runs back
Al his last race should win the third
event. But he is unreliable, as he is
an in-and-outer. Rama looks the one
that viii be the most likely to beat the
top one. Belvoir and Desmages should
fight II out for the third money Susie
Christian may show Improvement over
her last race and upset calculations by
winning.
II Ormonde's Right runs one of his
good races he will have a cake walk
IN the handicap, but he is a hard one
10 get line on. j. c. Glenn looks the
most dangerous factor on form and
