Harrigan Runs Five Furlongs in
58 2-5 Seconds •
POLLS PERFORMS BRILLIANTLY
The Dey Proving On# the Bo»t Dsy* of

What iras undoubtedly the" most 1
excellent day of epoit ever provided
by the management of a winter face 1
track for the amuacnieijt of Us pat- |
ron* watt offered yesterday afternoon j
at Terrazas Park by the Juarez Joe-
key Club. It was a day that will
live lop* in the memory of those who
tvere in attendance.
Every one of the events resulted
in excellent contests and remarkkhle
time was made In four of the events.
One track record was lowered a full
Rerond, while another race was run
within a fifth of a second of the pres-
ent mark, while the first two-year-
old stake of the year saw the winner
run the. dlatance within 2*6 of a
ond of the present mark.
While the day brought out a great
many featurea, the real event of the
afternoon wa* the great performance
of Harrigan. the grand thoroughbred
from the stable of Herman Brandt,
who defeated a select field of sprint-
ers In the fifth event and ran the five
eighths In the remarkable time of
:RR 2-5 seconds.
Harrlgan's performance yesterday
can well be classed aa the moat re-

markable of the present season. Off
last In a fair start, It seemed utterly
Impossible for h thoroughbred to
make up the distance Intervening be-
tween him and the leaders In the
short distance of the race yesterday,
with as much speed opposed to him
as was contained In the field that
started in this event. ,
# Not only did Harrigan make up the
ground easily, but the finish saw him
the easiest kind of a winner In the
truly remarkable time of :58 2-6 sec-
onds. At the head of the paddock,
he Was In front and from that point
until the end. his jockey. Keogh, see-
ing that he had hts field beaten be-
gan to ease his mount up. Yet the
remarkable time was made, time that
has been .Equalled but once in the
history of racing, on this or any other
continent.
Had Harrigan made this remarkable
time. Just two weeks ago it would
have placed a world’s record to the
credit of Terrazas Tark. Up until
that time the best record ever made
for five eighths was :68 3-5. bold
jointly by; Jack N'unnally and Silver
Stocking Hul In the first part of
last week, Terns Trick, a four-year-
old, at present, ran the distance in
58 seconds.
In making the record he carried
97 pounds, while Harrigan yesterday
was carrying 1t« pounds There s
no doubt In the minds of the horse-
men who saw the performance of the
Krandt star yesterday, that had he
Inn forced to extend himself until
the end, be would have bettered the
figures recently made at Oakland.
Th» performance held the nndlvid-
sec- ! ed attention of all horsemen yester-
; day evening. It being the unnmtnons
opinion of turfmen that have eeen
horse r»efng In sll parts of the conn-
try for the past twenty years, that
the race was one of the moat magni-
ficent ever ran by a thoroughbred.
Harrigan has made turf hletory alnoe
his first appearance at thle track, but
he added the crowning feature by his
showing yesterday. A grand perfor-
mance by a truly great thoroughbred,
made over America’s finest race
course.
'Second only to the performance of
Harrigan wae the one of the star of
the large stable of R. L. Thomas.
Polls has abown his class at this
meeting by twice defeating S> fine a
field of horses aa ever paraded to
the post, but It is doubtful if he ever
has shown anything that surpasses
hla performance of yeeterday.
A small but extremely high-class
field of starters faced the barrier In
the overnight handicap yesterday.

this event. Polls was asked to pick
up 118 pounds and defeat this classy
field and there were those who, .n

meeting, that doubted hi* ability to do
He proved his superiority' over»the
field that was opposed to him yes-
terday, leaving no doubt In the mind*
of those that witnessed the perfor
mance. that he was easily best of the

ed to take up twice by Interference.
i yet he overcame this interference and
I coming around his field won going
aw-ay at the end in time that proved
to be the fastest at this meeting for
the distance and within 1-1 of a see
ond of the present mark, made by
Knight Deck last winter.
Both Harrigan and Polls shewed ef-
forts seldom witnessed on a race track
and that the patrons \of the Juares
race course should have the pleasure
of witnessing two such sterling per'
formanoes on the same afternoon
speaks volumes for the class of sport,
provided by the officials of the Jua-
rez Jockey Club. The 'patrons of
the Juarez Jockey Club can thank
the efforts of such officials of unim-
peachable honesty a« Mr- Winn has
surrounded himself with at Terrazas
Park, for the class of sport provided
yesterday. I
The Santa Clara stakes, the first
slako event of the year of 1911 for
two-year-olds would have been the
feature of the card but was put
somewhat In the back ground by the
performance of Polls and Harrigan,
This event brought out a aelect field
of highly tried youngsters and saw
Callsse, making her first appearance
at the harrier returned the winner,
but only after a fierce struggle all
the way.
Seven faced the starter In this
event, with Bessie Frank, the winner
of the two-year-old event of last
Monday, the favorite at post time. C»-
llsse and Luna Beall, roupled In the
betting ns the Trammell entry, clos-
ed strong second choices at 5 to 2.
LaLtia closed at 9 to 2. Royal Dolly
and Yvonne at 8 and Lawn at fifteen.
Cassidy got them away to a good
start after the usual delay with a field
of this kind. Bessie Frank was the.
Hr*t to show from the barrier but she
was outrun to the stretch by Callsse.
who had an advantage of two lengths
at this point of the race. Here Smith
went to his whip on Bessie Frank and
the game little miss responded In game
fashion, slowly but surely she was seen
to be rutting down the lead of the
pacemaker until the finish found them
almost on even terms. Callsse Just
lasting long enough to get the ver-
dict by a head, lams Brail proved
lastly beat of the other*, getting the
abort, end of the purse by two
length*.
Harrigan’* victory waa the result of
the running of the fifth event, which
was a puree affair for three-year-
olds and up at five furlongs. Such
speedy performers as Dr. Smoot, John
Griffin. Harrigan. Bob Lynch, Napa
Nick and General Marchmont faced
the barrier In this event with Harri-
gan always the choice of the public,
who was backed strong at^d faithfully
sending him to the post at even
money. . ,
Cassidy got them away to a flying
start with John Qrlfftn and Dr. Smoot
off In front, and the favorite In last
position. Dr. Smoot and John Grif-
fin went right out to the front and
set a terrific pace, the first quarter
being run in 22 seconds, the fastest
of the meeting Turning for home
the two were still out In front, run-
ning head and head, passing the half
in :4« 4-5 second*.
Keogh, who had been laying In the
fifth position to this point, with the
favorite, made hla move at the stretch
turn and by the time the field had
reached the end of the paddock, the
favorite wa* In first place, two lengths
In front of Napa Nick, with the tir-
ing paoe makers, third and fourth,
and badly beaten at the time. From
this stag* until the finish, Keogh had
the Brandt star under reatratnt and
when he went under the wire a win-
ner by two lengths, he had run the
fecond fastest five eighths In the his-
tory «t the turf.' Napa Nick, follow-
ing the early pace closest hung on
with rare gameness and proved eas-
ily best of the rest of the field be-
ing four lengths In front of General
Marchmont.
Polls’ victory cama about with the-
running of the third race, the over-
night handicap, which brought out
four high-class ttartars for * strug-
gle over the mile route. In spite of
the fact that his performances at this
track made hint appear best of this
field. Polls was allowed to go to the
harrier at the false oddB of 2 to 1.
Dorante having a big pull in the
weights was the one heaviest played
to defeat the favorite, although Mea-
dow’s admirers backed her strongly,
the three horses going to the post it
the same odd. two to one. Helmet
was backed from a high price of 8
down to fours at post time.
Cassidy got them away to a per-
fect start and Helmet and Dorante
went out to the front to make the
pare with Meadow close up on the out-
side and Bolts behind the pacemakers
on the rail. At the far turn Keogh
tried to get through with Polls but
was shut off and forced to pull up.
He tried the attempt a second time
and failed them, gave It up and

Is; It was a grand struggle.
Four favorites, a strong second
choice and a lone outsider captured
the six events yesterday and the re-
ault found the talent having all the
best of the daily argument for the
first time during the past few days.
Loween started the day well for the
public by taking the first event, a 7
furlong daah, for three-year-olds in
hollow fashion, with Soon second and
Doughty third. This race was marred
somewhat by the unfortunate accident
to little Beneehotten. who was badly
shaken tip when his mount Scarlet
Pimpernel, fell with him going down
the back stretch. Fortunately the
game 'little fellow waa not aerioutly
hurt and will no doubt be back In the
saddle within the next two days.

long shot of the day returned win-

a high price of four*, waa returned

ning the mile in the fa*t time of
1:29 3-5. Sir Edward went to the
front In this event to make the pace
