S FROM THE RACETRACK AND GENERAL SPORTING EVENTS
MOUNTS AT A PREMIUM
AND FOUR PROVE POOR INVESTMENTS
Tom fiddler
First Again at
8 to |.

II is not necessary to hit a book
maker with brick TO attract his at
tention, for they are a very wise set
OF men. After Hildebrand had taken
the first race at Ingleside yesterday
with Dandie Belle, a 10 to l shot
played 10 Z, the ring apparently re-
solved, then and there, 10 make the
public take a short price on anything
the popular jockey rode the balance
Of the afternoon. "Hildy" had the
mount on some sizzling hot ones,
among others Theddeus, Norford and
Lansdowne, and all three were beaten.
His only other winning mount was
or Standard, the one lone favorite to
land. With a very commonplace card
and sloppy track to race over there
was a good attendance.
Dandie Belle. a 10 TO l shot, ridden
by Hildebrand. captured the opening
event. The black horse, Jean Gravier,
with Lee Jackson up. closed favorite
in the betting over Bee Rosewater and
with more racing luck might have won.
He was cut off on the far turn and,
though closing resolutely at the finish.
was led out a length by Dandie Belle.
The Toiler ran third. Bee Rosewater
bled.
Milt Jones smart flly, Marie J.,
turned the tables on Al Dobsons Villa
in the -year-old scramble While
the difference in weight yesterday was
all in favor OF Marie J, at post time
Villa had the call. Both got away
from the post we'll and made a two
horse affair out Of it. Despite the hard
riding Of Bullman on the favorite.
Marie J. under Johnny Daly's clever
handling. gradually forged ahead.
scoring BY a couple Of lengths Sac
charate, the Napa Stock Farm entry,
piloted by Foley, stood a long time.
only losing the place TO Villa by a
nose. Mogregor was fourth.
Some one circulated broadcast a tip
that Thaddeus was a certainty for the
FIVE and half furlong selling affair. and
whoever the individual was he should
visit a phrenologist, for he is in need
Of treatment. There were five scratches,
including The Pride and Muresca. and
with Hildebrand on Thaddeus the geld
ing opened a : to 10 favorite. The tai
ent did not strike at the flies with avid
ity, and g 10 10 was later dealt out. II
was all joke, for Thaddeus could not
scare uD a respectable gallop. Hand
press. an TO l shot, also riddeh by
Johnny DAILY, early passed Egyptian
/ Princess, and at the wire downed the
mare in an ordinary gallop. Camaletta,
a 60 10 ! shot, took the show from Foul
Play. Bucolic received scattering sup
port, but ran poorly.
For an even money favorite Norford
made rare showing in the mile and
fifty yard selling run. As Hildebrand
had the leg up the big Empress of Nor
folk horse was plunged on. and finished
third. beaten eight lengths for the place
by First Chip. The latter horse made
all the running, and in a hard drive
was led out less than a length by Bou-
tonniere, a Is 10 l outsider, we'll ridden
7 by Foley.
/ After opening favorite for the sever
furlong selling number for three-year-
( olds, Hulford was dethroned by Stan
dard, the mount of Hildebrand. HUI
( ford led for two-thirds Of the route
( then began 10 tire. Standard ran game
/ ly. and taking the lead the last eighth
won almost easily. Ruvia ran a dis
tant third.
Again Sir Tom fiddler furnished g
surprise. Mike Daly's big horse was
cne of six starters in the final six-fur-
long spin. He looked outclassed by
such mudlarks as Albemarle. Matt Ho-
gan and Lansdowne. for which reason
and TO ! was laid about him. Tid-
dler was hustled along from the start
T A Il
proved a trifie troublesome fiddler
forged his way to the front, getting the
decision cleverly by more than length
Matt Hogan took the show from the
to favOrite, Lansdowne.
