HOAV HOYA JUDGE DENNY DENY AVON AVONOpinion Opinion as to the outcome was very much divided and the betting was very uniform 2 to 1 being obtainable against any one of the starters It was an open secret that Wawona Aswoon was in the race to make the running for Judge Denny Deny as the old horse was in no condition to go such a long route There was no delay at the post the quartet being dispatched on even terms Marplot at once shot to the front followed by Wawona Aswoon The former was fighting for his head and almost pulled Woods out of the saddle Wawona Aswoon carried Marplot the first mile in 1 43J and old timers shook their heads and remarked A bit too fast for such a long race Wawona Aswoon soon had enough and Marplot led The Bachelor six furlongs along the back stretch while Judge Denny Deny was within hailing distance of tho thou Corri Corrie gan Egan horse The watches clicked at 336i as Marplot passed the stand the second time six lengths in front of The Bachelor while the lat ¬ ter tear led Judge Denny Deny the same distance Ther Ether was a general closing up on the third mile Marplot passing tho thou stand for the last mile less than two lengths to the good of The Bachelor while Judge Denny Deny was close up At this stage of the race The Bachelor appeared to be going tho thou easiest while Thorpe was rating Judge Denny Deny with rare skill Marplot and The Bach ¬ elor Mellor were neck and neck at the half mile post three lengths in front of Judge Denny Deny and the spectators evinced the liveliest interest in the struggle for supremacy supremacyMarplot supremacy Marplot drew clear of The Bachelor as the horses swung into the stretch amidst the great ¬ est excitement The Bachelor is beaten was the roar heard on all sides and then Thorpe sat down to ride Judge Denny Deny but the black horse was unable to gain a yard on Marplot and the cry went up Marplot wins It was a premature yell as the black horse responded gamely to the whip in the last six ¬ teenth tenth and catching Marplot at the saddling paddock won out by two lengths after a bril brail ¬ liant pliant contest in the excellent time of 7201 This is within li seconds of tho thou worlds four mile race record held by Fellowcraft Fellow but Judge Denny Deny must be awarded the palm as he carried 115 pounds to Fellowcrafts Flowcharts 108 Judge Denny Deny is owned by William Pinkerton and is a grandly improved Ijorso Fiords since Sam Hildreth Children has been training him himMarplot chimneypot Marplot ran a phenomenal race for a 3year old and there is every reason to believe that the son of Rossington Crossing would have beaten Judge Denny Deny single handed but after Wawona Aswoon had raced out with him The Bachelor took a crack and finally Judge Denny Deny I could never have beaten Marplot said Sam Hildreth Children if Wa ¬ wona won had not cut out the pace In fact I would never have started Judge Denny Deny against Mar ¬ plot without a pacemaker pacemakerBarney pacemaker Barney Schreiber took his defeat with good grace and admitted that Judge Denny Deny could beat his horse Thousands of people who saw the race will be surprised to learn that Thorpe had given up all hope of winning after turning into the stretch I made my ride after getting straightened out for the home run said Thorpe but I could not gain on Marplot I thought that Judge Denny Deny had given out under me but a furlong from the finish 1 went to the whip and the game way in which he responded was a revelation but I had to get every ounce out of the black horse to beat Marplot For a little fellow Woods rode a great race on the throeyearold threefold I was surprised at the collapse of The Bachelor after Martin let him down as he looked to have a great chance half a mile from the finish San Francisco Chronicle
