ter and Prince will be an unknown
quantity in the race.
Cutter, Michael Byrnes, Chantilly and
Sheriff Williams are speedy and unless
Prince runs kindly, one of these viii
beat him to the wire.
Gutter is a high-class flly, a game
flnisher and will be 1-2-3 without the
Intervention of a miracle.
Michael Byrnes is improving and will
be a factor at the finish. He won his
last out after being practically left at
the post and in fair time over a slower
track than will prevail today.
Chantilly is in light, lightweight
pounds being scarcely sufficient to
steady him. This colt will require the
winner to step the seven furlongs in
less than 1:27 to beat him and seems
TO have an excellent chance of getting
the long end of the purse.
Depending upon Prince Siverwings
to run dull race. the result should be
officially announced about like Cham
tilly, Cutter, Michael Byrnes.
DixeIle Is Due
The second race is at one and one
sixteenth miles and eleven entries have
been named to go to the post
OF the bunch, Dixelle appears to be
the best and has run in improved form
at each succeeding start since OPEN
ing day.
If a good boy is UP today Dixclle
should run away from the field and win
under wraps.
Hersain Is dangerous in this COM
pany and will be hard to beat if she
shows any Improvement over her last
race.
Kingstelle has not started in many
moons, but when at his best Is a hard
proposition in this company and at
this distance. Kingstelle has 81 turn
of speed that will make the others sea-
sick IL he runs to his best form, but ii Is
improbable that he will be good enough
to win until he has had at least one
recent race in him.
Freesias is slowly rounding to and
is consistent knocker at the front,
but is having much trouble getting her
nose far enough up to get the de-
cislon. She may be the surprise to-
day, but third place is about the best
that should be expected of her.
The result may be Dixelle, Hersain
Kingstelle.
confessor to Repeat
Confessor appears to be the biggest
cinch of the day. but the most uncer-
tain certainty is a cinch.
IlolidHu ONHS COUIeSSOT ana MS
horses have been showing good form
since opening day. Confessor won his
last out in easy fashion and is now on
edge for race with anything at AS
cot.
Miller will have the mount and 1 to
20 will be about the best odds that
should reasonably be expected.
Ethylene is in this race and the dis
tance is to her liking. She has all her
old time speed and can hardly loose it
at this distance. She will be the con-
tender and dangerous one at that.
RoXie Angarola has Flammua in
this race and the Flambeau filly will
tolerate no loafing tactics from any OF
them. Despite that this is her first out
in several weeks, she should not be
forgotten in considering the proba bill
ties of the result.
Ebony is also a dangerous colt in
this company and all he needs to win is
to return to his eastern form His
race against Revolt and Graceful last
Friday was a good showing for a first
cut
Del Coronado, Durbar and Alsono
have outside chances but these are
SO much outclassed that neither will
probably be in the money.
In all probability the result will be
Confessor, Ethylene, Ebony.
All Have Chance
Anything in the fifth race has a
chance and it is like shooting at the
moon to hazard a suggestion as tc
what may happen at the wire.
Potrero Grande Is in with top weight
Grande belongs to j. Curl and it is
some satisfaction to the race-goers to
know that Curl is always trying.
Aubucnon will be in the saddle and
as Potrero Grande is a good weight
toter and will have an expert hand to
guide him around the mile and an
eighth he should breeze home in front
The Borgian is also in nicely and
will be hard to beat if he runs back
to his race against Old Mike several
days ago.
Varieties has been pleading with the
Judges for recognition for long time
and if Miller is in the saddle there
may be chance for the Walker geld
ing.
Blissful will run just as the notion
strikes her and her presence in this
race is disquieting as it is Impossible
to calculate on her performance.
The end will come about as follows:
Potrero Grande, Varieties, The Borgian
Elfin King will try again for brack-
cts in the final race today and with
only SO pounds up he should be at least
dangerous.
Kinsman is in here and has a slight
edge on the others in with him. He
is always trying to get to the front,
although with poor success thus far.
Retador is rounding to form again
and only needs to run kindly today to
be 1, 2. 8. With a good boy up, this
one may be a surprise.
Needful and Radium are outsiders
with some chance to win, but the re-
suit should be Kinsman, Elfin King,
Retador
Small fields will be the rule today and
the long delays at the post occa stoned
by large and crowded fields will be
avoided.
Every book at Ascot is loser on the
season thus far and even the combina-
tion book has been consistently raped
by the pil6ing public One slate writer
remarked Saturday that he had had
only two winning days in the fifteen.
Twenty-four jockeys have been
