Racing began at 1ngleside yesterday
for the first meeting in two years.
Capt Il. Il. Rice from Warner, Ark,
won the first race with Lone Wolf,
which was held at 6 to /.
Allegiance gratified the "I-told-you-
SOS" yesterday. His win was an awful
long time overdue. He is a good
fencer and toted his 14O pounds yes
terday as If it was a mere feather.
Memories was much fancied to beat
Wagner yesterday, but the good Hol-
land fly undertook too big con-
tract. Honus has won every start at
Ascot and looks good enough to keep
1t up
Mike Fisher of the wandering base
ball tribe found 1t almost as hard
picking the winners OF the races yes
terday as it Is for his brigade to win
the pennant. Mike says he is un-
! lucky, anyway.
William French arrived yesterday
from the east with twelve horses. owing
to the crowded condition at Ascot, only
six of his string could be accommodated
and he was forced to find quarters out
side the track for the others.
Young Corbett and Mike Schreck
We're picking the winners yesterday.
Corbett was given the glad hand by all
his acquaintanceS among the odds lay
ers which included them all, and pro-
ceeded to show his friendship by win
ming q couple of neat bets.
L. A. Bonsack tucked couple of
purses under his belt yesterday. WIN
ming with Judge Denton and Hilona.
Both were outsiders in the betting ana,
J while Bonsack did not support his en-
tries to win, the public cashed on both.
Golden Rule is a front runner and
loses heart as quickly as shut off or
pocketed. He burned up lot of
money yesterday by his inconsistent
race, although the odds were so short
that only the big bettors had any kick
coming.
Miller made a good start yesterday.
He rode in three races and landed his
mounts second in each instance. All
his mounts were at short prices, prin
| cpally because Miller was up, but
Memories was the nearest approach to
favoritism of any of the horses he
rode.
The only stake event this week is the
} California Club handicap. to be run off
, Saturday. SiXty-one nominations have
been made. The race will be at one
} mile and the winner will receive about
!, $17OO, as the Jockey club has offered
$125O added money.
one favorite won yesterday, with sec
ond choices and long shots dividing The
other five events. This is quite in
contrast with the six winning favorites
of Saturday. Yesterday was the first
winning day for the bookes in over
a week. They needed the money. but
had hard scratching getting ahead.
Flea cannot pack the heavy imposts
assigned to him in his last outs and
win The Gilbert gelding is partial to
i light weight and cannot run lick with
Il weight up He was first over the last
jump yesterday. but quit like a dog
i'm the run on the flat, being passed
by four horses after making the final
Il flight.
The Judges We're dissatisfied with the
showing made by Atlantico and investi-
gated. but learned that the Baldwin
horse was erratic and was affected by
the third jump, when his feet ham
mered the hurdle, causing the horse to
hit the ground violently. In schooling
IAtlantico he exhibited the same turn
and would not run kindly If his feet
caught in the jumps.
