Selections for To-day.

The race that odd Socks put up Saturday
doesn't give Jockey Guest one chance in a
thousand of ever putting his leg over Il
horse on the Island track, or any other one,
Tor that matter When boy is ruled off
of an outlaw track what kind or show
Wouldhestand ofgetting mount anywhere?
When n horse is beaten half block by
such skate as Brogan, with due apologies
to Mr. Cotton, and the next day comes
out and defeats such good ones as Watch
Charm and Mirage in a gallop, there is not
much hope for the boy who had the mount
i'll the Brogan race
Many people We're very much dissatisfied
with Watch Charms race, but they we're as u
rule the ones who had bet their money
on Stan>bury's horse. Ii is very doubt
ful If Watch Charm is half the horse at "a
mile that he is at six and a half and
seven furlongs.
Probably the truth of his bad defeat is
that he has been induIgcd since his last
race. He had a stiff tilt with Key West,
and Stansbury probably let up on him to
some extent.
Willie Ham rode Ola Socks to the queens
taste. He took the horse out in front but
did not ina he too much uscof him, and when
Watch Charm got to him on the far turn
with little urging he came right away
and al the end was an easy winner.
