rat Dunno, who recently transferred
his racing string from Arcadia to
Emeryville, did yesterday what no
other horseman has been able to ac-
comphsh since the opening of the
present racing season. DUNES horses
Honest, Sea salt and Ketchemike won
half the Emeryville card. The last
named pair were favorites and the
only first choices that succeeded in
winning during the day. Honest was
second choice in the betting As the
Dunne stable enjoys the confidence of
the local racing public and has a tre-
menoous following, IL was small Won
Ger that the bOOiies had a disastrous
experience. Hardly a layer in the
ring escaped the slaughter, the indi-
Eldual losses ranging from $4,000

Out and the portion that still remained
oeep and heavy being decided marked
WEARS DOWN FAyORITE
Lucky Mate and Marion Rose the
Two choices, had the opening sprint
70 themselves at all stages and the
Lormer, gradually wearing down the
prentice rider Quay handled the win
ner like a veteran. The well PLAYED
OOnStantia closed up considera bl e
ground from an unlucky break and
nnlshed a creoita bic third. BAIL, the
supposed good thing of the race, blew
UP after following the favOrites' fast
early pace most closely to the turn
Gerando was helped to victory in
the Z year old event by flying start,
which gave him an advantage which
ne held TO the end. Warfare was al
ways the runner up and held Judge
Quinn. the favorite safe at all stages
ne iatter got on none TOO well, but
quickly ran up into forward conten-
ton and ran race which might have
landed him the victor with better luck
at the outset.
Jockey RussiIl employed waiting
tactics with marked success in win
nlng the third with Lady Alicia Pala-
DIM, senator Beckham and Red Leaf
alternated in leading at various stages
OF tie running. Paladini quit early
and Beckham weakened in the stretch
u then looked as if Red Leaf. which
had gone TO the post at odds on, would
through on the ran with an irresistible
rush that carried her to the wire two
lengths in front Of the favorite.
HONEST HAS THE SPEED
Honest had the speed TO lead By a
ma rgin OF several lengths from start
10 finish in the fourth and was drawing
away at the end under mild restraint
Raleigh was the early contender. but
gave way to Mace 9, the favorite on
the turn. and the same order was main
tanned TO the finish. Jockey Deverich
made 4 bad mess of il with the heavily
PLAYED Serenade, getting her off last
and giving her what close observers
characterized as an easy ride when it
came down TO the stretch drive.
Cambysses ran into such a long early
lead IN the fifth that 1t looked as If he
would surely win. but Sea Salt, the
lukeWarm faVOrltc, with which Jockey
Butler had been pursuing waiting tao
ties, galloped over the pacemaker a
the end. and Kogo came close 10 beat
. ing him for the place as well.
ketchemike and Captain Kennedy
went at il hammer and tongs in the
final event OF the card After the pair
had run head and head for a half mile
ockey ScOVllle wisely took Ketche-
mike up and went from the rail to the
outside, where better going prevailed.
At the stretch turn Ketchenike ran by
Captain Kennedy as If the latter was
tied and came home by himself Early
Tide outlasted the balance Just as
easily and Warden was able TO beat the
firing Captain Kennedy for third The
latter's race. following his poor show
ing Of the day before. leads to the con-
elusion that he has trained of.
