OUT OF SIX

After Bad Start and
Interference
By }. r. Jefery

The sloppy going that racegoers
leeked for at Emeryville yesterday in
consequence Of the heavy morning
downpour was not in evidence. An
hour or so after the rain ceased to
.tal there was hardly a Yestige of water
on the surface of the track. and by
race time the going was Of the heavy
variety. Form was wonderfully good,
short priced contenders monopolizing
the spoils. The list Of winners was
made up OF three favorites. Clamor,
Fulletta and Prince Of Orange; two
second choices. Argonaut and Gerando.
and one third choice. Fulford The
olsappointmenus Of the card included
Eezon, which ran unplaced as favorite
OF the juvenile event; Rosamo, the
beaten favorite Of the opening sprint;
&pI the second choice OF the nfth, ana
II Plcaro and kenmure, the two choices
OF the closing event
ROsamO's failure TO run as good a
race as his form called for probably
was due TO the fact that he went to
the post somewhat sore, which circum-
stance encouraged the lively play that
developed on Argonaut- The latter was
never headed when II came TO the run
ming, and ROsamO had all he could do
10 beat Rosevale for the place.
Jockey Notter beat the barrier in the
: year old race with Gerando, while
Jockey Gilbert got away all tangled
up with Recon, well backed as the
taVorite- Gerando's early advantage
proved barely sufficient, as Judge Hen
oerson came close TO getting up. Penn
interfered with Recon near the paddock
and this piece Of bad luck cost the
tayOrite the show.
CLAMOR NEARLY BEATEN
Clamor had ali he could do in the
third TO beat Pan de ORC, whose show
ing represented a wonderful improve
ment over his preceding start. in which
he was seemingly unable to raise a
gallop. lie had so much speed yester-
day that he was able to set the pace
all the way, and Clamor overlook him
only at the very end. Jockey Gilbert
rode him yesterday, while Scoville had
been his pilot the previous time out.
p -Legatee ran -disappOintly and Orcagna
easily beat him for the show.
tulletta.s victory, his ninth OF the
meeting, was sscored under circum-
stances which set the spectators agape
with wonder and admiration. The
horse got the worst Of the break and
was forced 70 pull up Immediately
after the start by the stumbling Of a
horse In front Of him. Last TO go
around the clubhouse turn. he moved
up along the rail like a fash into for
ward contention on the back stretch,
and Outgamed Tom Shaw and Joe Rose,
the pace makers, IN a grueling stretch
drive. There was considerable swerv-
Ing near the paddock, from which Joe
rose sEuefeo most. Jockey Ross
claimed foul against Pom Shaw. but
his protest was not allowed
The mile and a half race which came
fifth on the card, was marked by three
heads on the post finish. Prince Of
Orange gained the decision because
Gilbert was able to outride the other
Two boys, Sweet and Sullivan Sweets
1nlsh on kOgo was very weak and
Sullivan found the heavy headed Or
chan beyond his strength, after having
MADE all the pace. Paladini, on which
there had been q heavy play, found the
route too long, and was all in after
having followed Orchan's pace closely
for over a mile.
LED BY LONG SHOT
With FL Picaro eliminated from seri-
Gus contention by poor break. Full
ford found II easy TO win the final race
The 30 10 1 shot, Frank Clancy, made
the early pace, but Fulford picked him
Up at the turn and breeZed in. AIlness
came from virtually last place TO be
third. While El Picaro was unlucky
at the start. his showing was far below
what may reasonably be expected of an
even money chance. He had been run
ming credltably with much better COM
pany, and IL looked as If he could get
away last and still have a good chance
OF winning, so naturally there was
much grumbling because Of his fail
ure TO finish in the money.
