weight rider of the day. celebrated the
opening of the coast winter racing
season Saturday by riding old Mike
Jordan home in front with as good
as IL to 1 laid against his chances.
Mike had to come from behind and
win from the good thing, Remember,
which was second, and with the clever
little lightweight riding in good form
there was nothing to it. Charlie will
ride at Santa Anita during the winter
Jockey Powers did not finish in
front with any of his mounts Saturday.
but none of his eastern rivals did any
better, so honors were even opening
day Walter Miller might have got
home first with Firestone IL Williams
colt had not fallen, but it is extremely
doubtful.
Eyebright is not such bad horse
as many believe. He dashed to the
front in the opening handicap, closely
attended by Angelus. and the pair
raced this way to the back stretch
where Angelus quit, Eyebright stick
ing to his Job and winning all the way.
It is probable that II forced to his best
efforts Eyebright could have run close
to the coast mile record of 1887 3-5,
held at Santa Anita. If Eyebright is
a 5000 horse, as has been remarked,
Montgomery, Fitz Herbert. Angeluss
Dandelion, Firestone and others behind
Eyebright cannot be worth more than
$500.
Several anxious fight fans have asked
in the last two days whether this Kid
Otto who recently was sentenced to
San Quentin on the charge of burglary
was the Young Otto who knocked out
Montana Kid at Vernon a few weeks
ago. Owing to the numerous queries 1t
is presumed that such an opinion exists,
and for the information of those in
terested it is only fair to the clever
lightweight to say that he is in New
York, knocking out all comers with
consistent regularity and does not
know Kid Otto and has no relationship,
blood or otherwise, with him. This
Kid Otto is said to be a fighter, but no
body seems to know him.
Secretary Randle OF the racing asso-
citation said last night that the way
entries are pouring In for the Speed
handicap he is of the opinion that this
will be the best and richest stake of
the Santa Anita meeting. 1t Is a high
weight handicap at six furlongs and
has a guaranteed value of $4,000. At the
rate entries are pouring in the associa-
tion will not have to make up a dimes
worth of the guaranteed value. 1t
costs $25 to nominate and $25 more If
the entry is nots declared by January
/. Then s10O more is required Of all
starters. 1t will be run February 22.
Abe Attell will begin training Wednes-
day for his 15-round bout with Freddie
Welsh, which is scheduled for Thanks
giving eve. ~ He will train at Jack
Doyle's club at Vernon. Harry Burt
and the little champion are going for
duck chase at Harrys club Tuesday,
which caused Abe to postpone his plans
for starting work today.
