With a careful boy up and a judicious
ride, Kinsman is the most dangerous
horse in the race and will be the one
for Memories to defeat for first money
Kinsman ran over Judge Denton
Thursday and should do so again to-
day If the Bonsack candidate gets in
the way.
Philanthropist, Lille 3. and Silver Sue
have speed but not the brave hearts
necessary to overcome the efforts of
the others.
Booker will probably have the mount
on Memories, Kunz on Kinsman, and
Preston on Don Domo. These are good
boys and will get out the best that
their charges can do. Booker has an
edge on the other boys, however. and
Is on the best horse. The race, there
fore, should result Memories, Kinsman
and Don Domo.
Four starters will go to the post in
the sixth race, which Is the handicap
event This gives promise of furnish
ing one of the best contests of the meet
ing and none of the starters can be
denied a look-in for first money.
Marshal Ney, Borghesi and SaiS We're
in the Jonathan handicap Thursday and
on the form of that race, Ney should
experience but slight Difficulty in win
ming.
Ney has seven pounds more weight
to carry today at the same distance, but
he is in fine form just now and the
workout of his Thursday race should
put him on edge.
Sais is speedy and will go the mile
at lively clip, but when real racing
begins this one is liable to chuck it up.
If Sais could hold his speed for the
route nothing else in the race would
be able to get near him. He should be
second.
Bragg picks up five pounds from his
race yesterday and will not like the
added impost. He is not good enough
in this field to take up weight and win,
but should be in the money.
Borghesi is speedy, but will not do
today. His showing in the Jonathan
club handicap was very ordinary and
that is about what will occur today
when he hooks up in this field.
The attendance for the two days of
the meeting has exceeded the expecta-
tions of the management by several
thousand
Hammeraway was a good thing yes
terday and carried considerable money
which he failed to bring home. This
one acted as If short of work.
The track yesterday was two sec
onds faster than on Thursday and If
clear skies continue until race time
today it will be lightning fast.
Two days of racing have passed
without a claim of foul riding by any
jockey. Neither has there been a dis
qualification nor an accident.
The talent continued the raid upon
the bookies yesterday, taking out $40,-
900 from the seventeen operators in the
ring Every winner was heavily back
ed, and the good thing, Alsono, was
stunning blow.
| Old Mike was as good as 80 to 1 and
was unbacked. 1t will not occur again,
as the aged gelding displayed a sur
prising burst of speed and staying
qualities yesterday when he ran over
Protrero Grande and The Gadfly.
w. A. Woods, who assists Jake Beck
ley in getting the ponies to face the
right way at the barrier, was severely
| injured by a kick on the left leg when
Memories reared backward at the post
Thursday. He will be off duty for a
couple of weeks.
The first steeplechasing event of the
meeting is scheduled for Monday and
is the first race on the program. There
are more jumpers at Ascot this sea-
son than formerly and these events
will be features twice each week dur
ing the meeting.
The J. L. Holland stable is jumping
into favor with the spectators regard
less of past performances of the en-
try. All these horses seem to be on
edge and are always knocking at the
front door when they fail to lead the
procession to the WIRE
Steve Brodie. not the bridge Jumper
and high diver but the old time crack
rider of jumpers, Is at Ascot, having
arrived yesterday from Oakland, and
will accept mounts again. He is a
fearless rider and an experienced pi-
lot of the flying squirrels"
Barney Schrieber's horses have not
been in front yet, although the genial
ones that will be heard from before
the season is over. The sons and
daughters of Sain have scored on the
principal courses of the country and
are high-class racers.
Tommy Burns tried his luck at
guessing how they would run yester-
day and quit the day almost Sc to the
good. Tommy ran to one of the books
to play a hot tip, Alsono, in the Sec
end race and offered $50 on the good
thing, but the bell tolled before tho
! bookmaker accepted the money and n
was all off. After the race Tommy
was inconsolable.
| S. M. Williams stable annexed two
races yesterday, being the first to ac-
