HHdreth's Horses in
Series of Triumphs
Captures Six of the Ten STAKES
Entered and Dugan Pilots
Every Winner
By j. r. Jeffery

The wonderful series of triumphs
that S. c. Hildreth's. horses have scored
in recent stakes at Emeryville is a re-
markable feature Of the local racing
season. Hildreth has been represented
in 10 of the 19 stakes decided at En-
eryville UP 10 date. The record of the
Hildreth stable in the 10 stakes in
which ii has furnished a starter is
six firsts. three seconds and once un-
placed. A nose, a head and a neck
comprise the extent of the margins by
which the three Hildreth candidates
that ran second were defeated. Nee
lick, the only unplaced stake candidate
of the stable was beaten a head for
show in the Oakland handicap after
being left at the post
1t is a noteworthy feature that
Jockey Eddie Dugan rode every one of
Hildreths stake winners to victory,
while other boys were up when the
Hildreth horses suffered defeat. The
stakes in which the Hildreth stable
had no starter included the Sacra-
mento. Christmas, New Year. Follans-
bee Thanksgiving and Yosemite handi-
caps, the Crocker selling stake, the
+ Gunst stake and the California Oaks.
In connection herewith is printed a
tabulation showing the record of the
Hildreth stable in the various fixtures
of the season.
The Undine stake, $500 added for
year old colts and geldings. will oc-
cupy the center of the stage at Emery
vile this week. This fixture, IN which
the youngsters will be asked to go half
a mile, will be contested by the pick
of the Juveniles that have been racing
at both California tracks Among the
eligibles and probable starters are j..
J. Walsh's Lee Rose S. c. Hildreth's 8
Vatican, w. E. Applegate's Charles w.
Hodges. Ed Kripp's Edward Ormonde,
I. j. Hildebrands Hazlet, HI. T. Grif-
fins Mozart, j o. ana G. IL. Keene's
Novgorod. Johnny Millin's Tom Hay
ward, w. OBJ. Macdonoughs Duke of
Milan, Barney Schreiber's Gull Holland
and T. II. Williams Blameless.
For the third week in succession fa-
vorites performed very disappointingly
at the Emeryville track last week,
winning only 10 of the S6 races. Sec
ond choices made respectable show
ing, scoring in IL races. The lions
share of the spoils went to outsiders,
as has been the rule of late, The per-
centage of winning favorites the past
three weeks has been extremely low
a trifle below 30, which unfavorable
showing probably is due to the chang
ing track conditions.
Barney Schreiber was jubilant when
Tony Faust scored in the Waterhouse
cup. Who says the Sains won't go
as far as any horse? he whooped and
his audience seemed to be almost as
well pleased over the result as he evil
IDENTIFY was. The winning Of this not
able distance event by d product Of
the celebrated Woodlands farm af-
forded deeper satisfaction to the popu-
lar Missouri breeder because it con-
clusively demonstrated that the Sains
possess stamina as well as the speed
that has made them famous on the
American turf within the past few
years than on account of the direct
financial benefit the result of the race
meant to him by reason Of his half in
terest in the horse.
Jockey j. Butler has made a very
bad showing in the saddle at Emery
vile of late, riding all 16 of his mounts
unplaced last week
