and the Holland ally was never in

of Lotta Gladstone, which was out FOL
the money with a determination tina
surprised everybody.
| Silver Sue. which was favorite in tht
| books, found the distance too shor
and the pace too swift and failed t
get a call, finishing an Indifferent fifth
Rustling SILK ran gamely, but wa'
sore going to the post and could MOI
resist the challenge Of Lotta Gladstone
In the drive home, losing third plact
| by a head.
Daruma set out to startle the worlt
on her first out, but became disgusted
| with the enthusiasm displayed BY
Hester w. and chucked it early, finish
ing tenth.
This was the best 2-year-old race oil
the meeting and the remarkably goot
time made by the winner shows tht
Holland filly to be entitled to recog.
milton among any of her division al
| Ascot.
It is believed that had she been ex-
! tended to her best efforts she could
have tied the track record, IL not
broken IL.
Cello Takes Third
The third race was stag party for
2-year-olds and Macumber was the
| good thing.
The Tichenor gelding opened at to
1, but everybody of a speculative turn
OF mind seemed to fancy his chances
and sought to get a slice of the lib
eral odds offered, causing the books to
make an erasure and substitute II to 10
JOY reigned supreme among the
wise guys" until the closing strides
as Macumber got away and went to the
front at the first quarter, holding the
lead to the final eighth.
Cello was next to last until the Jour-
ney was half completed, when he
moved into second place and in the
1 drive home the Elmwood farm colt put
| up game struggle and succeeded in
getting his nose first under the wire.
Macumber was second, two lengths
ahead of Bantam, which found the
pace too strenuous after the first half
| mile.
Louie Bonsack permitted nearly
everybody to take the cars for home
immedia tely after the final race by
putting Del Coronado over the plate.
Golden Light was made favorite for
this race, while Del Coronado opened
at and scared a point, closing at SIS.
Golden Buck imagined he was in a
sort spot and set out to run away with
| tlrst money, leading the procession to
the stretch. Here Del Coronado
'yumped" into the lead and all that
was necessary thereafter was the
shouting.
Del Coronado won by two open
lengths, with Golden Light second and
The Huguenot third.
Golden Buck became offended at the
efforts of Del Coronado and faded into
nothingness, finishing fifth.
Big Fields Today
Five selling races and one purse
event is the offering of the jockey club
today and the fields are unusually
large, the smaller having eight prob
able starters.
Ordinarily the purse race in an ar
rangement of this kind would be the
feature event, but all the races are
evenly matched in point of interest,
with the possible exception of the
NTH, which will probably absorb more
consideration than any of the others.
The fifth race is a selling affair at
one mile and seventy yards and eight
entries are carded to start.
Orcnan is in with top weight, 112
pounds but this one prefers mud and
has shown nothing at Ascot, although
winning race in the slop at Oakland
since the coast season began.
Don Domo is in with lilo pounds I1p
and appears to have the edge on the
others on form. If the gray streak is
held in check for the first half he
Will probably be the one to beat for
| first money.
Lord Badge would be hard to beat
here If he only had a race in him, but
he has not been out since opening day.
Hippocrates is another high-class racer
that would eat up everything in this
race If he was ready, but it is prob
able that he will need this race to put
him in condition to go to his best form.
Xxi won his first and only out at
| Ascot, beating Old Mike and The Cad
fly, and showed fair form at Oakland
before Ascot opened. He appears to be
the contender.
Revolt is a fair platter and should be
in the money unless q sleeper wakes
up.
The probabilities are that the result
will be Don Domo, Illki, Revolt.
Anybody's Race
The opening event will be a case of
write your own ticket. The class of the
| field is an unknown quantity and every
one of the fourteen probable starters
has good chance to win.
Alta G., Antitrust, Young NARROW
and Ulloa, the latter nine years old
are making their first start at Ascot
| this season and neither has been out
for many, many weeks.
James j. Corbett is aptly named. as
ne is only seven years old and has been
a once-great Whether he is a has
been now must await his next perform
| ance.
Pettijohn has the chance of a life
| time to pay Ed Stubs for his board
and lodging by winning this race,
| but.
Pachuca shows up best on form and
will surely be a 1928. In two previous
cuts this one has been in the money.
Susie Christian is several times over
| Que but may continue her inert state
Indefinitely.
The probabilities are that Pachuca
will win, Pettijohn may be second and
Susie Christian may get third.
j. f. DonOhue, Sir Brinkley and Fair
atene will put up a hot argument in
| the futurity course dash, which is the
second race on the card.
Sir Brinkley has the call and will be
favorite and if his race last Saturday
against Big Ben has been Of any ad-
vantage, he will win easily, as Donohue
and Fairatene are yet maidens.
Fairatene should be second and Don
ohue should not be worse than third.
Sea Slck's Chance
Nine are carded to go to the post
| in the third race and Dxelle, which
! wen Yesterday, will probably be one OF
the entries that will be scratched
