Previous to yesterday’s racing the track at Trentham had been regularly watered to keep the sting out of the going, and the ground, being of a puggy nature, when rain commenced to fall would become very holding, and this no doubt accounted for the failure of many well-fancied candidates failing to race up to expectations. World’s Richest Stake. The richest racing prize in the world, the Santa Anita Handicap, a sweepstake of l.lOOdol for starters, with 100,000dol added, one mile and a-quarter, was won recently by Bay View. Mioland and Bolingbroke wore in the places. Bay View was one of the outsiders of the field and paid over half a century on the parimutuel. First Start.
