days sport in three of the events
which brought the crowd to its fee
cheering for their favorites.
The first race went to ST. Albans
which closed at IL to in the betting
Star of Runnymede closed at the sam,
figure and Preston got him away fly
ing and looked all over the winnel
turning into the stretch star Qui
when put to a drive and st. Alban:
won handily. Gold Ledge outrun early
closed with a rush and just nipped out
Vinorsina for show.
The Walsh entry, Martha Jane ant
Wisteria Bud, held at to in the bet.
ting, got the second race. Bullmar
had the mount on Martha Jane and
her victory is due to his clever riding
Katie Rains had her head in front al
the 50-yard pole, but Bullman did not
give up, and riding with hands and
heels got the Walsh filly up to win by
a head. Orena ran green, but was best
of the others.
Woodthorpe, the 9 to favorite, made
n runaway race of the third event
Preston took him to the front and he
was never headed. though Avontellus
made Preston hand ride to win.
Sais quit badly coming into the
stretch and had all to do to save
show money from Foncasta. Lisbia
was heavily played in this race, but
had no chance at the start.
The feature event went to w. H.
Carey, which was always as good as
2 to 1 in the betting. Won Tromp was
the to favorite and had Bullman in
the saddle. Edwin T. Fryer closed at
6 to 1 and San Alviso was backed from
10 to 1 to s to l at post time. Bullman
got the favorite off we'll and at once
went to the front and looked to be
running easily until the stretch was
reached, where w. II. Carey came on
to win.
Although Won Tromp was hard rid
den he could not keep the lead. Edwin
T. Fryer looked a dangerous factor
at the far turn, but quit and was an
easy third. Elevation and San Alviso
both showed speed for a half.
Confessor, the 4 to favorite in the
fifth race, had all to do to win from
Mazapan, which stuck gamely to her
work after making all the running.
Koerner had to hustle the favorite all
through the stretch. Judge Denton
warmed up we'll in his preliminary and
was backed for the place
He showed a flash of speed but
stopped after going a half. Taylor
George could never get up to the lead
ers. Remember saved ground on the
turn and ran her race.
The last race furnished a number of
supposed good things. Canopan opened
favorite at to l, but the heavy play
on the others made his price reCede to
as good as to l in some books at post
time. Rodolfo was quoted al the OPEN
ing of betting at s to l, but the heavy
play backed him to to 1 at post time.
Astral II was backed from 10 to to l
and there was a heavy play on Mary
Glenn and Susie Christian. Rodolfo
away well, was in front of the field
until the last few strides, where in a
desperate drive CanOpian got up to
beat him head. Astral II was best,
as she was practically left a the post
and was only beaten a length for first
money. With better luck earlier in the
race she would have won. Bauble ran
his race and had no excuse.
