1T WAS A DAY OF SURPRISES
FINISHED A VERY DISMAL FOURTH

There were two big surprises at the track
yesterday-one the victory of Kitty L, a
daughter of Major Ban, in the last race,
starting at odds of 100 to 1 against her, and
the other was the downfall of the topheavy
favorite, Ingomar, l to chance in the
betting for the third race, who ran like a
truckhorse all the way, finishing fourth.
In the last race number of warm things
were to be uncorked, notably Dick Behan,
Hanford, Mollie R and Eckert, all of
which were heavily backed. The race was
a six-furlong affair, and Ike L, with Han
ford and Mollie R, had made all the run
ming, entering the stretch heads apart.
Cochrane cut the 100 to 1 chance, Kitty L.,
loose in the stretch, and Ledgett's FLY
passed the field like a flash, winning by
four lengths.
Ingomar was considered such an "air-
tight" for the mile race that many hun
dreds of dollars were wagered to win a
trif1ing amount. Many of the pencilers
made a book with the Kentucky stables
entry out. Thornhill had Is to l against
him, Mary S 20 to 1 and Polaski 8 to l..
Any kind of price could be had against
the others. Mary went out in front when
they were sent away and tried to make a
been running second all the way, nailed
her in the stretch and won cleverly by two
lengths in very fast time for the track
:4234. Mary S beat Tyro for the place
without trouble. The favorite, Ingomar,
showed no speed whatever, finishing poor
fourth.
Tigress was the good thing for the first
race on the card, a sprint at five furlongs,
going to the post to 5, but ran unplaced.
I'm A 10
! favorite were about the only ones in the
race that any money went in on. The
black colt Charles A, with Carr up, was a
| strongly played second choice.
The start was dismal one for the favor
| tie, Flynn getting her away badly. Sir
Reginald away first, followed by Condo,
made the running, heading the field into the
stretch. a sixteenth from the wire Condo
appeared to be winning, but by hard riding
Carr hustled Charles A along, and collar
ing Condo the last few yards, won by a
neck. Catch En- was third.
The second race was a mile selling race
for the cheaper class OF horses. The NAL
lard opened at twos, was played down and
finally went to the post at to 5. The play
on the others was divided between Rain
drop, Esperance and Martinez.
Raindrop, who went to the front at
| the quarter, made the running, followed
| by Esperance to the stretch, where Els
perance passed her and assumed COM
mand. An eighth from home Lloyd,
who had been trailing in the rear with
the favorite, came through, took the
lead and won easily by length. Esper-
ance beat Raindrop neck for the place in
a drive.
Tom Ryan upset good thing in the
fourth race with Don Fulano. Macdon-
ough's Chartreuse, with Griffin up, was
considered the proper thing, and the chest
nut FLY was sent to the post 9 to 1G
favorite. When the Don reached to his
people played him down to twos, at which
| price he went to the post. Quarterstaff
had A to against him, the other starters
being quoted at somewhat shorter prices.
Chartreuse was away first as the flag
fell, but was almost Immediately passed
by McLight and Clacquer, who held the
field at the half. Around the far turn Carr
pushed Don Fulano to the front, and as
they struck the stretch the big black horse
was neck in front of McLight, the favor
tie close third. The race down the stretch
was hard one, Griffin riding furiously to
overtake the Don. The latter, however, is
hard horse to pass in the stretch, and he
won cleverly by length in front of Nc
Light.
Whitestone showed plenty of speed down
the stretch, being beaten but head for the
show
