Horses in the Last Race VIII Find
1t Hard 10 Beat the Lit
tie Racer.
ED L. SHOULD WIN THE FOURTH.
Edgardo Is Considered Better Than
Taby Tosa and Ought TO
Defeat the Grey Dis
tance Runner.

\ rather poor lot of a-year-olds will face
tae starter in the first race at Delmar to-
day. On the speed that he has shown in
his races. Ninelard looks best. He Will
have the valuable services of Battiste to
get him of. This means a good deal at
this distance. Lady Nashti has beaten bet
Ter horses than these. She VIII DE a sharp
contender. So will Fair Lady Anna and
Hannah Lady. both of whom have speed.
Dottie Shute is d general good thing and
she is in with much lower class OF horses
than those she has been running with. Fair
Edna has speed, but they have backed
mabel Hurst TO beat better youngsters
ihan these They thought pretty Well OF
Mabel in the early summer. Fair Edna
will go well. Lexington Bess has early
. speed. has run good races ana ought TO be
fresh and good. Look out Tor her by all
means. Peal Menual was a speed wonder
in the spring and showed some speed IN
races at Delmar. but never could beat any
thing. 1t is Il hard race all round. but
lsattiste should be the best and he will
ride Nineland.
Talequah is new one and without record
this season. The name sounds we'll and he
might pe good horse. lie will have to be
:. fdnd OF good one. as Light Hunts last
race. winning by an eisntn Of a nile eased
up, was so good that should win here.
Brannigan showed speud iasr time hIt
stopDeu. He is d high-cIass colt wnea right
4art Howe. Arkansas and Royal Athlete and
Bill Logan are worth bets at long prices.
II Chandco gets off wei and is in a good
position turning for hcme he should make
trouble. His last race showed that he could
day.
Two Lick's last race with Fitzbrillar-he
saEe her only f1ve pounds that day-eEtitles
Aer 10 n lot of respect here Fltz is giving
ner thirteen pounds to-day He beat her a
nose, giVing her five pounds. So the weight
"uEHt 70 br1ng them closer together to-day
Nthat Is II ought TO make Two Lick win.
fltzoriliar ought 10 give the rest the waighf
and beat them. Avoid has had a loag iet-up
an9 IS SAID TO be nit Elsn la ,J.44...-.i
and TO need a race or two to fit her
y Lark IS fast and Will like the weight
Ma mselle wants distance and Makeds will
Lark is always dangerous and Nskelia Iii Iii
oe worth bet il she has a rider of merit
up; The fourth race is a corker and the
contention he wants. but he seems ta. h. a
blt the best class They say thai he will
9uit II something runs with him. Hilee. Ed
l. and Frank Bell will run with him all
right. On his good race Ed I. looks hest
II ~ many many pounds, but II may have hurt him
ne re was galloping last time out when he
" on FRANK Bell is lust about right and
Sln be keen contender. He was some few
pounds short last time up Kindred Is the
been out for four months and is probably
1ar from hruisinE race to-uay ana a
nTnis;nE ri race IS what it will be.
I'D LIS good race was so brilliant that
tle writer must select him to win on the
supposition that 1t has not hurt him.
Edgardo comes into the fifth race with
me Siamurur of winning a stake upon him
IabT Iosa makes them break record 10
oeat him every time they do il. He is a
real good one, and cut q record himself
last time out. and with more weight UP
ell ridden, and not cut off or allowed 10
nag. he VIII be close up to-day. Edgarto tn
De flrst Is winning bet They say that
ScnWaloe is not good now and that she
cannot run the track. sill, she is in with
Ilsht weight. and will about do IL every
! ihing goes right There is no speed in Il
TO worry her and the weight will suit her
Nhat she DID to Founding at these weights
Is plenty. Founding has had ali she
wants of it at that. and Gates holds her
safe on their last race at this distance
Tony Lepping's last race was so brilliant
that there does not seem to be a chance TO
beat him in the last event. He should win
beyond doubt. Burnett's Walkaway is al
most as sure a second. If they take this
horse back and let Lepping go on he will be
second sure. They cannot beat Leppinc
and there Is no use running with him
Rated. and used in the last half mile Walk
away Will be second sure. Warner is in we'll
and viii run nicely. but Belle Simpson
should beat him for the place.
