morrow in one of Santa Anita S
twin features of the day.
Although Calumet refuses to
say which of the two races Mark

for the forthcoming 100000
Santa Anita Handicap.
For the San Fernando, run
under allowance conditions with
weights assigned according to
money won, Mark -Ye- Well. with
Eddie Arcaro up, will carry 1872.
For the San Carlos it would be
1870.
