KENIL WORTH RUNS HIS RACE,
BUT is DEFEATED BY ARABIC
-Four Choices Are
Dethroned at
Ingleside.

without a murmur and made an excel
lent attempt to deliver it at the right
place, but failed.
ARABIC, from Walter Jennings stable,
was in with 103 and was played from
IL to 8 down to s to favoritism. Jack
Martin rode the latter and, after in
dulging Kenilworth with the lead to
the eighth pole from home, started
after him.
The brown bird weakened grad
ually and ARABIC disposed Of him clev-
erly by half a length in 1:1SA.
Schwalbe, the runner-up for two
thirds of the trip. ran a fair third.
Ananias and O'Hagen were the only
other starters.
Cold, cloudy weather kept the at
tendance down, but the betting was
brisk The fields were not above me-
diocrity and four favorites were
beaten.
SOIANUS SCORES HANDILY.
The tip on Modred to win the open
ing event, a Futurity course sprint,
did not amount to much. Bob Smiths
colt was heavily backed at the start
of the betting, but at the close there
was plenty of 31l to l. Solanus, from
the stable of w. B. Jennings, ruled
favorite. and. passing Red Bird and
Gene Handlan in the stretch, beat the
latter out easily by a length. Modred
ran fourth behind Red Bird. but should
have been closer up.
Hildebrand on Albemarle, y to L
chance, beat the others away in the
seven furlong number following and
that is all there was to it. Optimo
was always the contender and at the
wire only lost by a neck. Lady Wads-
worth, another of the first choices,
finished third. Marelio drew the rail
position and was knocked out of the
race at the start.
Anything Hildebrand rides is as Il
rule installed favorife and Carilee was
held at odds of 13 to 8 to take the mile
and seventy yard selling affair. The
mare led for half a mile, when ]. T.
Sheehan on G.. w. Trahern assumed the
front position and ridden out at the
wire downed Mr.. Dingle half a length
Carilee was third.
Manola over again at juicy odds in the
seven furlong selling run for three
year -olds. With W. Daily and SO pounds
up the filly made all the pace but could
not stay, and Ebony registered an easy
first.
EBONY'S PRICE RECEDES.
The winner showed signs of lameness,
which caused his price to recede from
215 to l to ID to g. Creole Jim, the
favorite, with Larsen up, finished in the
show.
Judging from remarks heard Larsen
did not enhance his popularity to any
extent by his handling of Ada N, ia
vorite for the closing mile run. The
mare was sore, as she usually is, but
was always in close touch with the
leaders. Third turning into the stretch
all Larsen had to do to win was to
hand-ride his mount. Instead he drew
the whip, allowed the mare to swerve
all over the stretch and then only lost
to Mimo by a head. Chileno was third
NOTES OF THE TRACK.
Big Biz Knapp, who is now in the
employ Of Parker & Thwaites, had
the mount on Sisenvine in the third
race. Knapp was a great favorite with
the crowds at Ascot Park, Los Angeles.
He will ride Fossil in the Burns handi-
cap or Saturday.
Bookmaker Caesar Young has en-
gagged Arthur Redfern to ride Eonic in
the big stake on Saturday.
Hildebrand was there with two win
ners again yesterday.
Gawaine was played from down to
13 to in the betting on the conclud-
ing race of the day, and got away so
poorly that he had no chance.
Quite a number of owners appear to
be suffering with the delusion that If
they put Hildebrand up and the horse
everything is lovely and the goose
marle-races 5S03, 57SS, $3.50. "Why are
theesey thusus?"
When a rider finds that he is riding
out of form he should take a rest.
Only a fortnight ago Larsen was put
ting up some splendid rides and rap
idly became popular. Then all Of a
sudden he began to scramble the
eggs" In Justice to himself after his
performance on Ada n. Larsen should
purchase a shotgun, 300 shells, half a
dozen decoys, a slab of bacon, two or
three dozen eggs, some matches, a saw,
hammer and nails to construct a blind
and go way up in the country duck
shooting before the season closes.
Lapidus seems to have gone away
back, judging from the slowness of
his movements in the afterpiece.
Timed separately, he trotted the mile
in 2:29A, which leaves him still
eligible to the 2:S0 class trots at KAN
kakee, ILL.,, and Bedford, Me-
Many of the Burns handicap can
didates were let down for keeps" at
Ingleside yesterday morning. Proper,
with Jack Martin up, covered one and
a quarter miles in 2:0S; Faulconbridge
in 2:o6 3-5; Arcade, 2:O9A; Oarsman,
ridden by Wonderly, 2:10. Fossil also
worked the distance in impressive
fashion. There will probably be f1f-
teen starters on Saturday, if not more.
w. B. Jennings will send three to the
post Argregor did not work well
Yesterday but will be given another
