Don Densmore BIS. 2:02A the great |
North Dakota stallion, the horse that /
took header over the nail harrow and |
ran shaft a foot and a half into one
of the work mules on the fair grounds
last Thursday, starts Monday. i
This race is conceded to be between !
three great stations, Jim Logan, BIS, /
2:01A; Don Densmore, BIS, 2:02A and !
Don Pronto, blk S., 2:02A with Jim |
Logan, favorite
| Montgomery will drive Jim Logan, /
Durfee Don ProntO and Brittenfield !
will drive Don Densmore.
Mr. Russell will not be able to drive !
but he is rapidly recovering from his
injuries at the Sisters Hospital and |
| will be permitted to go to the fair |
grounds Monday afternoon to see and !
supervise Don Densmore's race.
2:09 Trot
The 2:09 trot bids fair to be the |
greatest trot, the most holly contested,
and the most exciting, perhaps the
| fastest real race pulled off on any track
this year.
Star Winter Big, 2:05 owned and
driven by Lon Mcdonald Indiana, is the
| favorite, with Abaloma Big. 2.0SA
owned by l. l.. Borien, the San Fran
cisco millionaire, and driven by j. P.
Quinn, and May Mack BIN. 2;O6A
owned by R. ]. Mckenzie, the Canadian
multi millionaire and driven by Mr.
Charles L. de Ryder as chief conten-
ders.
| While Albaloma's record is not as
low as some of the others, it is report
ed that he can go in 2:06 whenever
called upon to do so. In fact, he
worked out a half mile the other day
in 1902 with the last quarter in 291a or
a 1.5S gait.
1t will give Mr.. Borden more pleas
ure to beat Star Winter and May Mack
than to take a trip to Europe.
| But none of these horses may win
for there is Bill Durfee who will start
either Rags or Alrick and there is not
a horse living but what has to go the
limit to beat them when right" and
there is also Colonel Chittenden and
Loe Blossom.
While, they are not considered as
fast as the others still both of them
have worked extremely fast miles in
the last week and may be the surprises
of the race.
But this is not all we have do not
overlook the best one of the all, King
Clansman, 2:0SA that wiped the boards
clean of everything at Cleveland and
several other places on the Grand Cir
cut owned and driven by Dick McMa-
hon at Libertyville, ILL.,, and it is more
| than possible that Dick, the Grim
will walk off with the money.
Star Winner, May Mack, King Clans
man and Albaloma, four as greater
trotters as ever stepped on any tract,
are the favorites
2:07 Pace
The 2:03 pace and the 2:O9 trot are
represented by as great horses as tho
are in the United States but the race
that the drivers are fighting over and
VII! cause hcartaches to the owners is
the 2:07 pace, in which Knight of
Strathmore, BIS. 2:05, driven by S. /.
HaWicy and owned by John Bleiler, is a
favo1ltc. This great Iowa stallion has
pcen making almost clean sweep in
the great western and midwest cir
cults. AT Dallas he took the 2:07 and
| Eva PAGES and such noted PAGERS as
Direct Gentry. It Will fell, Little Ber-
! NICE. Hal Gray, and John D. have
saved away from the Arizona state
| far because of the speed shown by
Knight of Strathmore, and the others
| mentioned below.
Knight of'Strathmore will have to go
up against Rastus b.r., 2:05A owned
and driven by Lon Mcdonald. Bessie
y 2:04A, driven by AL Russell and
| White Sox 2.07A driven by Durfee of
Los Angeles; the great Zulu Belle hi,
| m. 2:06h, driven by Frank Childs.
| Dick w, Ottinger's great PAGER with n
record of 2.0SA; Orc Mo, 2:O61b chs
| driven by Smith and owned by Chas
f. Silva, Sacramento, California. or
perhaps he will start Teddy Rear
2:05A, one of the prettiest and fastest
PAGERS on the coast, and then there is
the great Maynetta, owned by the Den
yer mllilonalre, J. A. Burnett, the pres
ldent OF the Colorado race commission
| and driven by Ted Bunch This great
mare of the Rocky Mountain region
holds the pacing records of both Colo
RADIO and New Mexico and has worked
| out mile in 2:O5A after having work
| ed two previous ones in 2;O6h and
2:O7.
Talk about your racing. talk about
| them going, the 2:07 is going to be a
| race for your whiskers, and it does not |
| matter which one you place 'vour
money on. y6a have an excellent
| chance to win
