makers Have Another Losing
Day--Two Outsiders Win
at Ascot
BY FOREST LOWRY.

I The Riverside handicap, with net
value of $3.50 to the winner. was the
star attraction yesterday at Ascot. or
the six originally carded to go, Warte
Nicht declined, leaving Pasadena, Fus-
tlan, Lustig, Lord Of the Heath and
Cerro Santo to fight 1t out. Jimmy
McLaughln's Ben Strome colt was
made favorite, and opened at to b.
Several tips were circulated through the
betting ring just before the horses went
to the post with the result that Pasa-
dena receded to to 5, while Lustig
and Lord of the Heath were backed
down a point each. Fustian, opening
at a, closed at to 2.
Lord of the Heath was first to show
in front when the barrier was sprung.
He led his field UP the backstretch,
with all but Pasadena close at his heels.
Mcdaniel made his move at the three
eighths pole, and one by one picked up
his field. When the boy set Pasadena
down he left his field far behind and
won in the easiest kind of fashion. The
race for second and third money was
most spectacular, with Fustian coming
strong on the outside. He wore down
Lustig in the last few jumps. Lord of
the Heath tired palpably right on the
end and finished fourth.
McJetta Beats Bad Lot
A bad lot of 3-year-olds went to the
post in the opening event, which was a
conditional affair over five furlongs of
ground. McJetta, held at 10 to 1, raced
we'll up till entering the stretch, where
she moved up fast and assumed COM
mand an eighth from home, winning as
Jockey Wood pleased. De Grammont,
at Z to 1, finished resolutely, and held
the firing Borgian safe for the
place. Phlanthropst, the 8 to IA
vorite, was in close quarters through
the stretch and at the paddock crossed
his legs and fell heavily. M. Lynch,
who had the mount, escaped serious. in
jury, and aside from a severe shaking
up was not badly hurt.
The Lady Rhohesia, at 8 to I, was
much the best of the seven 4-year-olds
and upward which were asked to go
over seven furlongs of ground in the
3 second race. She trailed her field all
the way, and only got up in the last
jump. Atlantico, held at 10 to 1. took
care of Glennevis in the run for home
and fifty yards from the wire looked
all over the winner. Ralph Young was
in a pocket all the way, and could not
get through.
Another for Workman
w. A. Stanton's good 3-year-ol
Workman, always favorite at to 5,
easily disposed of S. M. Williams Fire
ball for the six furlongs sprint race,
third on the card. F'ireball broke in
front, and showed the way into the
stretch Workman moved up gradu-
ally, and in the run for home passed
Fireball and won, going away Blue
Coat was third.
Rag Tag, backed from s to and 6 to
g. made it three straight for the talent
by annexing the fifth race on the card
handily from Atlas, held at IL to 1, and
Palmist, a 12 to 1 chance. The dis
tance was over the Slauson course,
with Beautiful and Best, second choice

tance, and when Mcdaniel called on the
Curl horse there was nothing more to
it. Atlas closed well, and just did man
age to outgame Palmst for the place |
Tryon, a 2 to l favorite, led his field |
from start to finish, and won the mile |
and seventy yards race, last on the
card, from Potrero Grande, held at 9 !
to /, and Robador. Potrero Grande pi-
loted by M. Wood had a rough journey, |
and did not have enough left to get up
with the leader. Ray, at s, Blissful, at
4, and Bailey, at g. also started.
