The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1910-05-15

Both gentlemen are exceedingly pop
ular with the horsemen, and this has
served to make their work less annoy
ing than it would be under different
conditions. BY the end Of the week the
preliminary work at this end of the line,
in connection with the coming Utah
meeting, is about finished, and on Sun
day Mr.. Dwyer will take his departure
for Salt Lake to give his personal at
tention to final Preparations for the
meeting, leaving Mr.. Magibben and Pre-
siding Judge Frank Skinner to look
after the interests of the Utah Jockey
club here.
The racing enthusiasts of Salt Lake
can count on being treated to some daz-
Zling speed displays. for the sprinting
especially strong and they will doubt
less be reinforced by a number of quick
-steppers from other quarters. A horse
that cannot run six furlongs here in
1:14 is considered of little account, and
there are any number in the barns at
Emeryville that can step the distance
in close to lib and even better.
Notwithstanding performances over
the new track need cause no surprise.
On the contrary it will be surprising
II new tracks are not made for every
distance not once, but repeatedly, dur
ing the coming meeting. Aside from
the fact that race sprinters will be at
hand the track after a seasons use Is
sure to be faster than it was last year,
when 1T was being raced over for the
first time.
The Cullen stake.
This may readily be inferred after a
glance at the list of entries for the
stakes, notably the Cullen Hotel handi-
cap. Nine of the most likely starters
in the Cullen handicap have won here
IN the last ten days, and here is what
they have been showing in the way
of speed:
Goldfinn, 1O4, six furlongs, 1:12 AS;
Lewiston, 100, six furlongs, 1:12 s-5;
Coppertown, 100, five furlongs :5e a.;
Spohn, I07. six furlongs,. 1:12 2-5; Lord
Enfield, 10e, five and one-half furlongs,
lis Is; c Chester krum. one G mile in
1883 %, with 95 pounds up. and the
up in 1879 3-5-
These are only samples of recent win
ning exhibitions by prospective starters
in the Cullen other prominent eligi-
pressively in the same time. In En-
fields fast five and a half hurlongs
Napa Nick was beaten only a head
after bad racing luck, and a few DAYS
second TO Cloudlight at the same dis
lance, in 1905 As.
Thistle Belle finished second to Gold
finn over the futurity course in the
fast time of 1:09 As, and when Lewis
ton did his SIX furlongs in 1:12 3-5. Kid
North was second and Capt. John who.
Win SEVEN and hannah Louise, repre-
sents Billy CahiIl in the Cullen, was
third.
OF course, there are other fast ones
engaged in the stake which have not
been out in the last few DAYS. and
one OF them, Lena Leach, proba bly
showed as sensational speed as apv OF
those named, when she covered seven
furlongs In 1:25 As. The performances
mentioned, however, are sufficient TO
indicate what IS IN store for the patrons
of Buena Vista in the way of speed
displays.

COppertown Good Again.
Coppertown. who early in the year,
showed to be one of the very best of
her age here and then stalled off from
over-much racing, has again come into
his own after being freshened I'D. In
his first start recently after a few
weeks let-up the Slower crack showed
return to form by keeping step with
some of the speediest at the track for
nearly five furlongs. but he was evi-
IDENTIFY trifle short and blew up in
the stretch.
That race served to put him on edge
