Yesterdays racing results. at Emery
vile were hardly Of the sort to en-
thuse over. Several horses that should
have been keen contenders in their re-
specttre races made such dismal show
ings that judicial Investigations would
seem 10 be due the race going public.
other horses, whose previous per-
formances warranted the long odds at
which they were quoted, came to life
with startling suddenness. In this lat
Ter category Were Monte. a 100 TO u
shot. and Orchan. so TO l shot, which
took place and show in the third race,
and Eckerssll. another 100 to ] chance,
which finished second in the fifth race
All Of these horses had been running
too poorly to permit of their being
seriously regarded as contenders.
Horses OF whom much was expected
and whose performances fell far short

second choice of the first race which
showed no speed after getting off
poorly; Del cruzador, which went down

year old event, principally because
Jockey McInty re messed IL up badly
with MIN; Saint Modan, the favorite OF
the third. which was so shockingly de-
ncient IN speed that he finished all but
last; Native Son, the second choice OF
the fourth. which was able to beat Just
one contender IN his race; The sutton
fsvorite OF the fifth. which seemingly
was unable TO raise respectable gal
lop, and Sidney +, second choice in the
closing event Of the day, which fin
lshed out of the money after g. series
OF clever performances Pal and Stan
ley Fay scored as favorites, while Lu-
retta and Marwood. two other winners
were well played second choices.
WINS MONTARA HANDICAP
Stanley Fay, William walkers crack
3 year old, made good at the first ask
ing after long letup when he won the
Montara handicap. the feature event
OF the card, from 8 shifty band of
sprinters, to ell Of which he was max
ing weight concessions. The colt came
from behind with great gameness to
beat W. p. Fines crack Glorio a nose
on the post. The pair hooked UP near
the paddock and their struggle
throc ghcut the final sixteenth aroused
the spectators 70 a high pitch of ex-
element Glorio had made the early
pace, with Native Son in close at
tendance, and when the latter stopped
TO walk a furlong oct the race re-
solved itself into a duel between Stan
ley Fay and Glorio. The latter had
been plunged on oy smart bettors
while Fay had been accorded only
lUkewsrm public support Gene Rus
sell, which ran third, was obtainaple
at long odds. Collector Jessup failed
TO show anything to warrant the
plunge which broke his odds from the
opening quotation of to about half
that figure.
BUMPED AT THE BARRIER
Lord OF the Forest. passed around as
a paddock special in the opener was
unequal TO the task OF beating Pal, and
might not have been second but for the
mishap which befell Tawasentha The
latter wheeled into ]. W. O'Neill as
the barrier went up and Jockey Nc
1ntyre seemingly made no effort to
make up the ground lost at the start
The mare was not so far out OF it but
that she might have made a respect
able showing had Mcintyre persevered
with her. Pal found the winning of
the race easy with Tawasentha elimi-
mated, and Triumphant dropped into
the show with lengths to spare.
Jockey Mclntyre's handling of Del
Cruzador in the . year old event left
q great deal TO be desired. He got
the colt badly tangled up in the early
part OF the race, and Mauretenia, clos
ing with great burst OF speed, beat
him out by a length after he had Sc
cured clear sailing in the stretch. On
Parole, the pace maker, just did last
10 be q distant third, Horace II all
but beating him for the show.
Luretta made every post a winning
one in the third and won with plenty
10 spare after having opened a big
early gap. The other short priced con-
tenders were easily distanced by the
rank outsiders Monte and Orchan.
MARwooD TAKES FIFTH
Considering that the horse had pre-
Viously shown disinclination to go
the route, Marwood was backed in the
fifth with a confidence that was sur
prising. He won, however, after taking
the lead when Captain Burnett grew
leg weary at the end of a half mile
OF pace making. Eckersall, recovering
his speed with suddenness that al
most took away the breath of the
talent, Wa a keen contender from the
start and finished a close up second.
Gateway squeezed into the show by
narrow margin.
Eyebright showed himself to be a
pretty fair sort by the manner in which
lie triumphed over the good field with
which he contested the closing race.
Charbonneau lay along with him be-
hind Ellerd, the favorite, to the pad
dock. and the horse galloped away
with the race when Charbonneau gave
him his head. Eilerd had no excuses.
and as easily beat the rest Sidney F.
badly handled by Jockey Boland, was
nipped out ia the closing stride for
show by the well played yesme Bo- |
