CHOICES GET
FIRST MONEY

The favorites had another hard time
or 1t yesterday at the race track five of
them going down and out before well
backed second choices. 1t was a day of
surprises for the talent and as they had
to do the guessing they got all the WORST
OF 1t. The books must have done we'll
on the day as the betting was lively.
Strong tips on second choices indicated
that there was something doing and
those who were wise enough to overlook
form and follow what purported to be
stable information cashed in. It was
plainly evident, as on the preceding
days Of the meet. that it was useless to
play the ponies on form. 1t was a case
of bet the field against the favorite and
win.
The only favorite to land the money
was On Trial in the mixed pacing and
trotting event. the first on the card.
That race and the second and the third
were described in yesterdays issue. The
four other races We're run after the re-
port closed.
The fourth race saw Kitty Kelly. an
odds favorite, bowled over by Heigh Ho,
against whom as good as to 2 was OBJ
tainable. The horse was the choice Of
many and was well played, as was Sir
Dougall, who got the pace. The favorite
was third. 1t was a pretty race and had
Sir Dougall got off better he would have
won. AS 1t was he was beaten bv a
nose.
The fifth race found E. M. Brattain
the favorite. with You You and Dandy.
Wen Played second choices. Then came
strong tip on Waterscratch who was
a n rod
all got off well and ran pretty race.

Rio Chico was selected by the talent
to carry their money in the last event.
! a hurdle at mile and an eighth.
Again the talent guessed wrong, as the

to get the place. He was all in when he
