The San Francisco call., 1907-01-26

They were both so far out of 1t that
there was nothing to do but gallop
along leisurely In the rear as a mat
ter of form. Lazell had been plunged
on as one of the best things OF the
card.
LONG SHOTS ROMP HOME
TWO other long shots also rewarded
their hackers by winning the third and
the sixth races. Johnny Lyons, at 90
to 1, with the stable boy. ]. Hayes up.
put it over the 4 to 5 favorite, F.
Neugent, L. Williams up, in the third
by half length, after thrilling strug-
gle through the Stretch. Numerous
small bets were cashed on Lyons,
while the public lost heavily on the de-
feat Of the favorite Avona beat out
several short-priced horses for show
honors. Kokomo. the early pacemaker,
went to pieces in the stretch.
Billy Myer, receding favorite, won
the opener in drive all the way, with
Rhinestone second. Irish Mike, one Of
Barney Schreibers Juveniles, landed
third at remunerative price Boas,
heavily played across the board by
Jack Keane, had no chance with the
break and was able to finish no bet
ter than fourth. Abba was bumped and
fell near the three-furlong pole. Jockey
Horner, who had the mount, escaped

which Mcbride was thrown in the
stretch recently.
Anna Karenina and La Rose, first
and second choices, fought it out in
the second, a five and a half furlong
sprint. The former had the most early
speed and Miller set the pace with her
to the stretch, where she weakened
La Rose won by more than length.
AS good as to / at one stage of
the betting, her post price was 4. Duke
or Orleans, on whom there had been
sufficient play to force his price down
to from IL, took third money easily.
Horner was up on the winner and his
fall in the previous race seemingly
had no effect upon his nerve.
LUCIAN AGAIN EARNS BRACKETS
Lucian was a neglected favorite in
the fifth, but won cleverly under nice
handling by Graham. He was IN front
all the way and withstood Ed Sher-
idans closing challenge gamely. The
latter, weakly ridden by F. Wilson,
might have won with more vigorous
and skillful ride. Blue Eyes and Lone
Wolf, both of whom were played, ran
very disappointingly. The former was
backed down to 4 to / from s, but ap-
parently did not relish the weight she
was packing, as she could not raise
a gallop.
Gateway, at 1S to 1, scored a SEN
sational head victory over Dollfe Dol
lars, the favorite, IN the closing race
of the day. Mcbride was up on the
winner and gave him vigorous ride,
IN contrast to Sandy's effort on the
favorite. The latter was allowed TO
fall far out OF 1t In the early running
and Sandy's finish appeared somewhat
supine. after his mount had made up
a lot of ground. L. Williams had
Hedgethorn out in front on the last
turn, but had to be- content with third
at the end. Neptunus wed1d probably
have been third but for having been
cut off on the turn. Yada, Miller's
mount, failed to show anything and Is
apparently far from being the horse
that he was last season.
Jockey Walter Miller had FIVE
mounts. but failed to ride winner. It
was by all odds the worst day that
the premier rider has had since com
ing to the coast, for he finished out
side the money four times. His fol-
lowers had a very disastrous day.
Only two favorites were successful.
