The San Francisco call., 1907-03-09

The card FOR today at Emeryvilie is
one of the most promising of the sea-
son and should attract an attendance
OF close TO holiday proportions. The
star feature of the programme will be
the Undine Stakes for 2-year- colts
and geldings. in which President Will
iams' ulbeaten Firestone: Keene Bros
crack Raconteur Smiley Corbett a fast
youngster from the Hildreth stable who
has shown speed in his trials but has
not vet started Thomas Calhoun, a
promising colt from the Griffin stable,
and Boas, another Keene youngster,
are carded to go. There may be some
added starters in view of the smallness
OF the field. Firestone and Raconteur
have each won three races. unextended,
and opinion is divided as to the relative
merits OF the pair. Firestone has
worked better for the race than has
Raconteur, and will be the favorite in
the betting
The third race, a condition event at
hve furlongs, and the fifth, the Star
light handicap, at a mile and q quarter,
will both be stirring contests. In the
former such speed burners as Sir Ed
ward. Fireball. Security, Grasscutter
and st. Francis will be among the con-
testants. Sir Edward combines speed
with gameness and looks like the win
ner. but it will undoubtedly be a busy
finish. Fireball looks to be in his old
time form and will probably be right
there at the end. Security is making
his first start after spell of sickness
and can hardly be expected to be at his
best.
In the fifth. Rainus. DR.. Leggo. Edwin
Gum, Fox Populi and Miss Rillie will
meet. Rainus is in rare fettle just now
and may be able to take DR.. Leggo's
measure. Edwin Gum looks to hold
Vox Populi safe for third money.
The opening race will be for 3-year-
olds at six furlongs. Vinton looks to
be fair sort and may be able to re-
peat Galvestonia and Triumphant
look best of the balance
The second race will be at mile and
half. Black Prince is the class of the
race and IL he can go the route will
win. 1nfiammable is the contender.
Iras and Huston Will fight it out for
third money.
The closing race at a mile looks
open. Happy Rice has done all that
William Walker has asked of him and
may be better colt than he has shown
Corn Blossoms last race makes him
look like a contender. Tarp had no
chance last time out. being all but
knocked down. Earl Rogers is good
and may be a factor. The distance is
too short for Mamie Algol to show her
best form.
