Racing Scene Shifts to Manager
Adler's Track Where Races Are
Always True to Form.
MRS. WIGGS IN FIRST RACE.
If Turney's Mare Can Run on the
Holding Mud She Should Win
Sure-Big Boys Will Have the
Best of Light Jockeys.

To Delmar. Mr.. Adlers pet track. where
each year the list OF winning favorites
yearly shocks the bookmakers. Delmar is
short OF stretch and sharp OF turn. is
odiously heavy in mud and hot in the sum-
mer days. but the form charts show that
II is the truest track. in point of form. in
America.
Mr.. Adler is better track manager than
Mr.. TILES. He is not so thoroughly and
irretrievably immersed in the betting ring
as the Fair Grounds president. who loves
10 bet on them himself and who loses more
10 the bookmakers in a week than Mr.
Adler does in ten years. Mr.. Adler pays
attention to details which bear on form.
He looks after the settings and the trim
mings. Hence horses run better at his
track than anywhere else. If man can
not beat the races at Delmar he cannot
beat them anywhere. The proof of this
assertion is to be found in the form books
Something like twenty-five of twenty-six
favorites in a row. Not only that, but
the right horses win eight times in ten
The right one does not always mean a IA
vorite.
MRS. wIGGs IF SHE LIKES MUD.
Mrs. Wigs looks like a good thing in the
first race If she can negotiate the holding
Delmar clay. Stub seems next best. Yet
1t must be remembered that big strong
boys like Bell. Troxler and Kelly will do
better around the sharp Delmar turns than
weak apprentice lade. Hence Peaches. a
giant mare. DIR. Carrick and Arkansas NAV
beat the light weights.
OLD STONE A CINCH
Old Stone looks like the boy. to win the
needs one to hold him to the sharp Delmar
turns. He likes to run out Wreath of
Ivy is game little lady and will stay well
In the mud. Ora Mckinney will be in the
GALANTHUS AND BARoNET.
Galanthus in the third. but not with
Bybee. Never mind Saturday when they
backed him. That was suckers day to
bite. Now that they have had their bitter
nibble they will let his price alone and he
may run better. when he looks over from
the half-mile pole and sees Is to /, not to
1 before his name on the states. Baronet
Is the one he has to beat. The mud at
Way will go well in the yellow clay.
LADY STRATHMoRE IN FORM.
Lady Strathmore is grand mare now
and should win the inaugural. With Dale
and III up she will run as If she had los
ana some one else: Look at her races
nder Ras In al the June handicap and then
Opera will run her hard and Pirateer will
be third; Jack Young will not get any
thing: To beat a poor mudder like Orris
GOLDEN GLITTER OR OUR LADY.
Golden Glitter should win the fifth event,
though Our Lady may come along with a
surprisingly good race. Deerhunter will
click along nicely. though he is not great
mudder.
MAVERICK A GOOD THING,
Maverick in the last race looks like good
bet IL the boy on him can ride. Calvit is a
nice sort Of lad and will be plenty good
enough. He is away the best apprentice
lad riding at the local tracks now unless
it is Johnny Mengels boy. Shilling, who
is due here to-day. Custus will go well,
as his race behind Echodale showed. and
Pierce ]. with Troxler up may be heard
from.
