RACING IN MEXICO
BIG EVENT PENDING PROSPECTS OF PILLOW FIGHT (Received March 29, 9.5 p.m.) AGUA CALIENTE, March 28 The Agua Caliente Handicap having resolved itself into an attempt by a handful of thoroughbreds to beat Gallant Sir, tho six candidates for that honour will tako part in a preparatory race over a mile and half a furlong to-morrow. Upon the showing made, their trainers will decide whether to send them to the post next Sunday in the £SOOO event, the distance of which is a mile and a-quarter. Pillow Fight headed the list of nominees for the final preparatory race, aud will carry Bst. 31b. Ho will probably be ridden by Danny Farrell, who came across the Pacific with him. Morse, the trainer, is of opinion that Pillow Fight will do better with Farrell up, even if a few pounds overweight, than with an American jockey who might not understand him. Gallant Sir will not run to-morrow.
