The Race Week Promises Some
Important Events.
Silkwood, W. Wood and Waldo ].
Among the Swifts.
waldo j. Wins the 2:19 Glass Pace In
Three Straight Hsats-Husneme
and Pascador Arc VIM
nors.

Los Angeles especially are fully repre-
sented. The stables OF Charles Durfee,
Walter Maben. Richard Gird. Mrs. Sew.
erance and others have strings quartered
at the track. Santa Ana has ita own
cracks to meet the talent from abroad.
Last year In Santa Ana 1t was "Silkwood
or buat," and "buut" went, but now the
town, besides Silkwood. boasts of those
other cracks, klamath and Ketohum.
klamath is veteran OF the track, q
dangerous horse, and the hardest slayer
and the fasteHt on q finish in the state.
Ketohurn, another Santa Ana beauty, is
owned by Jack FELTON, of this town, and
Ia regarded as one OF the most promis-
ing young horses In California. If there
is anything in the lot that can lower
Waldo J.'s colors at this meeting, it
is Ketchum. They are expected to meet
in the 1927 class on Thursday.
Yesterday's meeting drew out but q
moderate attendance. There was not
much in the way OF harness racing on
the card. The 2:1e pace had filled we'll,
but it was regarded as go much gift to
Waldo J. that pools could not be sold
on the race the night before. The most
interesting events on the card were the
two running races. The day opened
$500 purss.
For this race six horses came to the
post, Mcdonald, Hueneme, Walnut
Grove stables; Lottis Collins, L. J.
Roses grey filly, J. W. Donsthan's Pol
hemus, Geo. Maben's Red Head and M.
A.. Forster's Ninfs. Polhemus sold as
favorite on the post with Hueneme
next. That is whore the talent was fooled
fts Hueneme took the lead from the
start, winning easily by length and q
half. Lottie Collins was second and
Polhemus third. Time, 501a.
The chief event of the day followed.
This was the l Lie mile dash, purse
$500. 1t was the prettiest running race
ever seen on the Santa Ana track, the
horses coming under the wire almost as
If q sheet would cover the lot.
The San Bernardino crack, Dickey &
Tupper's Pescador. was easily the
favorite, selling at 500 to Sc for I'll the
others in the field. Perhaps this conf
dence was justified, but it was q near
thing. and if Pescador did win he had
not pound in hand at the finish.
Pescador was assigned the pole on the
start, but owing to his unruly disposi-
biOu buCy AhQ " put Alul OA buo OubblQ6s
In fact he took lot out of himself on
chiefly to the difficulty with which the
favorite made up his mind to 90 at all.
Finally when they got the word Pesca-
oor had u little the worst of it, but he
very quickly got on terms with his
Z horses, and at the quarter pole he was
Il slightly in the lead and making all the
running. After that he was never
headed, although Marco Forster's Nacho
B. and Morine's Montalvo both made q
gallant effort to get on terms with the
leader. There were those who said that
4 II Montalvo had been ridden with more
judgment the result would have been
different. Entering the stretch, Pes
cador led by length, with Montslvo
creeping up and Nacho B. ON good terms
with the leaders. All three riders were
at work on their horses. Montalvo was
coming up on the favorite, but he could
not quite make it, and Nacho B. was
spent. Under the wire they passed,
Pescador half length in front, Montalvo
second and Nacho B. third and close up.
The race:

Time, 1903.
The three year old stake for trotting
brought out J. Willits' Daisy Wood, G..
W. Ford Neernut and Kittie Mack.
Daisywood and Neernut made q pretty
race OF it for the first heat as far as the
distance post where Neernut went into
the air and Willis brought his hand
some flly in an easy winner.
The second heat was beautiful race.
Neernut took the lead at the start and
at the quarter had opened q gap of per-
haps 20 lengths. but the "old man" was
not to be downed and by the time thew
got to the half the horses were on near
ly even terms. That was the way thew
travelled until when half way up the
home stretch it was hard to say which
was leading. Then Neernut pushed his
head in front and got the wire about .
Iength to The good.
These two evenly matched horses had
itagain in the third heat. There was
another close race all the way down tn 9
stretch, with Neernut leading. The mar
could not catch him. and the heat was
won by length and half.

E. L. Maybery's Deacon Nc was sent
with running mate to beat 2:25, bu,
could do no better than 2:2S1. He was
unsteady on his feet and broke several
times.
In the 2:19 pace Golden West sold
for favorite, Waldo j. being barred in
the pools. The others were sold in the
field. A big field was out, and they
started scoring in vexatious manner
until Judge Peasants called up the
drivers and made them a little speech
that brought them to time and
brought the grand stand out with q
round of cheers. A good start Was had
but the quarter was not reached when
the race was q procession. headed by
Waldo J. and covering 200 yards. Golden
West broke badly, and was shut out.
Waldo J. led all the way, reaching the
quarter in 33, the half in :0714, three.
quarters in :43, and the wire in 2:lS.
Olinda Richmond was second, about two
lengths behind, and Rory O'More third.
The Bcond heat was very much rep.
etition OF the fret. Waldo J. had it all
his own way, and could probably have
distanced majority of his field had his
driver lot him out. Rory O'More wae
second and Olinda Richmond third. The
heat was fast, being done in 2:1615.
