Show THE RACES 1I a Wildmoor Wins the Big Heat Race With Ease f I ThtOf the four big events in a racioir tense came off at the track on Wednesday The first of these eveHtJ was a mile and a half dash between Wildmoor and nl1 Boy for 3000 a side and which was won by the latter easily Following this came the Spring meeting of the Utah jockey Club in which Red Boy shJwed remarkable powers a he had done in the preceding race The next event was a mile and quarter dash between Maria F a California three year old filly and Pearl Jennings the remarkable filly This was won by Pearl very easily the race also being for 500 i side Within a wee m rc ee for the same money and ihc 51 ce distance the owner of Wl moor having the choice of entering that horse or Pearl Jeniliiigs against eithei Red Boy or Maru F tiS Mr Gilmer might choose Mr Gilmtr chooses Ked Boy and Mr Corrigan Corri-gan Peail the result being a victory vic-tory for l Pearl in which remark sble time wa < made and in which lied Boy it is claimed tnjule aj good time with the weight lie carried as had ever been made in this country The fourth and last event took place on Wednesday Wed-nesday being it race three in five between Wildmcor and Red Boy for 5000 a side This race was probably the result of a similar race between Wildraoor and Euchre for 1000 a side which the former won easily but it was thought Mr Gilmers stallion could make a more interesting trial The betting which preceded the race was very peculiar and very conflicting being apparently without with-out judgment and without any rules some betting that Wildmoor would not win a heat and others that Red Boy would not some maintained that Red Boy would win the first two heats and C Wildmoor the last three So it was and a person who was not within the charmed circle was at sea as to which way he could place his affections aiid his spare cash This state of affairs remained until the first heat was over when there was taken a very decided stand in the betting While a great deal was not done in the pools there were many outside bets and the amount of money that changed hands was something unusually heavy The horses were called up shortly after 230 and a send off was secured without any difficulty Wildmoor speedily took the lead and set the pace very fastso fast that Red Boy had nothing left in him to make a brush with This position Vas maintained all tlW way round f Wilduiooi winning by almost al-most three lengths in 143J j which is very good time but not at all remarkable re-markable While some were of the opinion that Red Boy was not pushed a majority were of the opinion that Wild nor was too much for him and the bets went wild on the brown gelding 4 and 5 to 1 being offered that he would win the race and some even belting that the bay stallion stal-lion would not win a heat Tile next heat was a very pretty one for half a mile Wild moor again going to the lead with Hod Boy partly lap ling him the position being maintained without any perceptible change until the halfmile pole was reached This parsed Wrldmoor again leaned out leaving his competitor compe-titor in the rear and coming in head at an easy pace in 148 time that was very poor and which was luarti ending to those who had bet Hut 143 would be beaten The race being now practically settled no bets could be had at anything any-thing within th bounds of reason In the third heat a sendoff was secured se-cured without any trouble and Wildmoor again took the lead and again set the pace This was the most interesting though not the fastest heat of the three The horses kept close together until the half mile pole had been passed when Wildmoor as usuil put daylight between himself and Red Boy But the latter horse this time picked up closed the gap and it almost al-most looked as though he would push the brown horse a good deal lie was under a heavy and a vigorous vigor-ous whip however while Wild moor was held together only and came in ahead in i46j Thus ended the fourth big race the stakes in all o which aggregated aggre-gated S 0COO Of this sumo Mr Corrigan has wan 30100 and Mr Gilmer 10000 These races have been conducted by all those interested in a gentlemanly and manly spirit So far as is publicly known there is yet to be the first word of cavil oVer them Everything h IS been conducted in a gentlemanly arid courteous spirit such as makes races a pleasure and such as constitutes an inducement to persons to witness them Another matter wtrthy of mention in this connection is the fact that the first intimation of anything but honest racesin any of the four raceshas yet to be made by any person of character or good breeding On their face they have been fair and honest and while there are always those w hare h-are free to hint at dishonesty or charge it halfopenly because thty may have lost 10 cents the general impression is that there is not the slightest gtlnnd for such reports re-ports Whatever of money has been lost or won luis chaged hands not as the result of a trick but because be-cause the merits ot the several horses have fairly and squarely so decided de-cided It must be a matter of congratulation con-gratulation to Mr Gilmer and to Mr Corrigan as well as to the others interested that their integrity integ-rity has not once been disputed by respectable people and that the impression im-pression universally prevails that the races have been for blood and that the best horseat the time of the race at least has won Following the race above referred to was a handicap race mile and repeat in which Euchre carrying 110 pounds Belle of the West 102 pounds Long Stride 105 pounds Chantella 108 pounds started A sendoff was secured at the second attempt and Long Stride soon went to the front securing H lead which he kept to the close winning the heat in 147 Chantella was second and was the only one which gave him a race at all in this heat while Belle of the West was third and Euchre last In the pools at the start Euchre sold as favorite with Belle of the West second As soon as it was known that she carried only 102 pounds to his 110 the pools shifted and she sold favorite by very large odds sometimes four to one againstEuchie Long Stride sol t third and Chantilla last After the first heat the mare still sold favorite with Long Stiida third m the pooh It was understood under-stood that the second heat would be hotly contested as if Long Stride did not win the others would have to run for a place in the race The heat was a beautiful one from the start to the finish Long Stride took the lead but was soon headed by Chantilla the little bay maintaining main-taining the lead until the home stretch had almost been reached After the first quarter had been covered Chantilla was almost half a length ahead while Long Stride Euchre and Belle of the West were running abreast as fair as though hitched together This position was maintained all along the back stretch and was a beautiful sight When the second quarter had been covered Belle lead out a little Euchre close behind be-hind while Long Stride fell to the rear It was a hot race for a time between Euchre and Belle but she had the heels of the little stallion and leaving him taciiled ChantiJU The excitement was still maintained and both came down the home stretch on a dead run Belle passing under the wire nearly a length ahead rime 144 The pool box was then practic aly closed it was a foregone conclusion con-clusion in the minds of all that the mare had the race but as a matter of form of course the third heat had to be run After a little coaxmg the pool lox was opened and a few bets were blown in at the rate of about 530 onBelleto 6 on Stride and those who took the big odds seemed to act as though they were just giving their money away A start was secured and the mare bolted ahead Long Stride close at her heels Atthe quarter pole ho gathered up on her and gradually along the back stretch gained a very slight lead On the three quarters however die lead was decided the mare quit and Long Stride came in winner in 137 to the disgust of the many who knew the old brown horse could not repeat and to the pronounced cachinations of the few who reluctantly had bought him in at odd8 varying from one to six and one to ten The days sport drew out quite a large attendance and the races were very fine all through |
