ridiculouslY easy victory in the Greer
handicap. which was the secondary
feature of the program. Fear that his
recent race over distance of ground
might have dulled his speed. accounted
for the receding of his odds from about
even money at the opening TO as good

which was at considerably shorter odds

and none OF the contenders could ever
get even close to him. Bellwether
came from behind to beat the well
played Fanatic for the place. The 300
10 ] shot, Pio Pico. furnished some ex-
citement by running up in forward
contention TO the stretch, where he
dropped back.
EASY FOR BERRY MAID
F. A. Forsythes good sprinter, Berry
Maid, had an easy time winning the
seven furlong condition affair, which
came third on the program. Jockey
Lee rode a waiting race the first part
he let her down. Cloudlight took the
place from Ocean Queen in the last
jump or two in a sensational stretch
sprint after having been unable TO keep
anywhere near the leaders in the early
stages. Rubfa Granda, and Rose Queen,
which had made the early running, both
stopped badly at the end, but the for
mer lost the show by only a narrow
margin.
Jockey Ross rode brilliant race on
The Peer. reserving him in the early
stages with such purpose that he gal
loped over the leaders in the stretch.
Dollie Dollars. which had opened fa-
vorite. but whose odds scared at an
alarming rate, quit so badly after max
ing the pace to the stretch that she fin
ished out Of the money. Barney Oldfield
and Dainty Belle taking the places be-
hind the winner.
Banposal was all bat last in the early
part of the race which she won with
such ease. She made good with an
end sprint that carried her past the
leaders as though they were standing
still. Lady Carol and Mansard, the two
choices, ran wretchedly poor races, and
second and third money went to Sake
and Wap, both of which were at long
odds.

Burns, from Maltbie and Miss Sain.
Carrying 129 pounds, this great
horse ran the race Of his career and
barely got up in time to get the verdict
by head. and then his hackers were
shaking in their boots for fear he
would be disqualified. Maltbie was the
best horse in the event the way the
race was run, but was sandwiched in
between King James and Miss Sain all
through the stretch and was knocke ed
off his stride a half dozen times, the
final interference occurring 10 yards
from the wire, when Maltbie had his
nose in front and seemed a sure win
ner. After a brief discussion the judges
hung out the official sign, which made
the finish King James, Maltbie and
Miss Sain.

Sylvia Dunbar was bred at Ormondale e

manner in which she has triumphed
over clever fields IN the last two Of
her three starts stamps her as a flly
OF great promise. She is by Orsini out

are inclined 10 coincide with her owner
IN the view that she will prove 10 be
one OF the best filies developed in Cali
1ornia in recent years. She has size
and looks to commend her and runs
like slayer. The stake was worth
$500 to the winner. which is consid-
erably more than the winners share
IN any previous running of the fix
ture, which was first established in
1905, and successively won by Tawa-
Eentha, Abbey and Rose Queen.
