BOY INTO TROUBLE
Gentle Harry at Forty to One Beats
Several Good Thinqs-Dr. Hollis
Wins the Two-Year-
Old Race
by FOREST LOWRY.

NJ M. Tichenor's Loretta NJ, winner
of the California oaks last Saturday
at Oakland, was made a false favorite
in the mile and fifty yards race yester-
day at Ascot park, and when she fin
ished third to Schoolmate and Ke-
hailan the judges began an investiga-
tion which resulted in the indefinite
suspension OF Jockey Kent. Loretta
M is a three year-old filly and In all
her racing career she has never hooked
up with horses of the Schoolmate
class He has met and defeated some
Of the best handicap horses racing at
Ascot and on figures stood out like a
to shot over Loretta M. Her best
race here was when she beat Requiter
sails and Ralph Reese at a mile and a
succumbed to Ralph Reese who gave
her ten pounds, in a mile race
At Oakland last Saturday with III
pounds up Loretta M was sent through
heavy sticky going, and after the race
was tired enough to lie down. This
race alone was enough to take all the
speed out Of her. She was bundled
up and shipped back to Los Angeles
and then was expected to beat handi-
cap horses yesterday at a mile and
fifty yards.
SchooImate Easily
Schoolmate reveled in the going and
was given a well judged ride. Dugan
lay in behind Loretta NJ and Kehailan
till the three eighth pole was reached.
Loretta M made her move at this point
with Schoolmate right at her heels.
Loretta M bore out on the stretch bend
and Kehailan hugged the rail. School
mate came through in the center and
in the best going, and when the real
racing began had no trouble stalling
off Kehailan. Loretta appeared to
tire badly and naturally swerved all
over the track. To all appearances
she about ran her race She opened
at even money and was backed down
to 3 to 5 at post time. Rough Rider,
the other starter, trailed the field all
the way and was never dangerous. He
was the extreme outsider at Is to 1.
The two-year-old race first on the
card which was over four furlongs of
ground, brought out field of twelve.
Six of them had never started. A good
thing was turned loose in this race
in DR.. Hollis, bay colt, by Macy,
owned by F. T. Wood. He opened at
to 1 and was played down to to 1
at post time. He ran a smashing good
race and as soon as he got up with
the leaders showed his real worth.
Loyal Front, held at to 1, challenged
the Doctor in the stretch but he soon
shook him off and won cleverly. Tia.
whose recent performances have been
of the kind which command respect,
got away none too well, swung wide
into the stretch and was finishing fast
est of the three at the end. Search Me
is good locker and ran as if green.
Daisy Brouck showed the way into the
stretch with a dazzling burst of early
speed but quit badly when the pinch
came.
F. T. Wood made it two straight by
scoring in the second race with Ro-
bador This affair was framed for
three-year-olds which have never won
more than one race and distance was
at six furlongs. Robador started and
won his only other race about a week
ago. That day his price was so to 1,
while the best that could be had yes
terday was 3 to 1. He got away we'll
came on when ready and won ridden
out Skeptic at is to 1, place, re-
ceded in the going and finished second
with a rush. Henry Ach who was
third about ran his race. Retador
closed with a rush and as the race
was run would have been closer up
with an even break.
Anrad in Frrnt
Anirad. at to 1, won the fourth
race which was over a mile of ground,
from Exapo and Great Mogul. Anirad
was slow to begin and had to be
urged keenly the first part. After
Exapo and Albert Enright had raced
themselves into the ground Miller
made his move ana had no trouble
through the stretch.
Azellna, the favorite in the fifth
race, had to be satisfied with second
place The winner turned up in West
Brookheld, who never left the result
in doubt after the barrier was released.
Sportsman was third. The latter
was well played for the place and
show.
Gentle Harry, at the juicy price of
TO l, took the last race on the card
from Palmist and Miss May Bowdish
Denzil, Lookaway, Headstrong and
sugden were the supposed good things
and each of them came in for some
support. Denzil was from ~ to / to
