BY Jay Davidson


Creston Boy was the medium of a
lifesize "klling" at Ascot yesterday
and the coterie of wise ones in on the
knowledge ripped great holes in the
bookies bank rolls at % to 1 for every
dollar placed.
Creston Boy was the Elmwood farm
entry and 1<unz had the mount. The
field of fourteen stretched out along
the track like a Fourth of July pro"
cession, with the good thing loahng
along at the middle until well into the
stretch.
After making the turn for home,
Kunz shook up the long shot and sent
him after the leaders. 1t was not much
of an effort to run over the NUT brig
ade and Creston Boy won going away.
Astraea was second and Elevation
was third. while the favorites, Ham
meraway and Turkey Post, were among
the also ran division and going at a
rate of speed that would occasion no
surprise on crowded Broadway.
Several thousand dollars were taken
out of the ring on Creston Boys win
and it was divided among small
bunch of knowing ones.
Homestead continued the raid ON the
books i'm the second race, going under
the wire in front with ease, carrying
2 ton of money at 6s. Barney Schrieb
er broke into the winning owners col
umn by this win and the son of Can
dlemas ran to the front as he was in
the habit in the good old days away
back in history.
Tangible was played off the boards
to win in this event. but the aged
mare never furnished one thrill for the
large number who backed her to win.
Courant was second and Huapala
was third, both being heavily played for
these positions.
Position, which was made favorite
in the first betting, pulled up lame
after an exercise gallop down the
track and was excused by the judges
and new book was ordered.
Wagner Wins Handicap
Another good thing was unearthed
to no use in the fourth race, the free
handicap, Lille B. having the call over
Hans Wagner and Borghesi, each of
which was held at IS while Lille was at
even mohey.
Borghesi got away to flying start
and was taken back to the field at the
Quarter. Wagner showed his usual
speed and ran over the field at the half,
holding this position to the wire.
Honus held his speed throughout and
the lead indulged him in the early
stages of the race was too great for
Borghesi to overcome, although the
Elmwood farm entry put up great
finish under Kunz'S engineering and
might have won at greater distance.
The distance was too short for Bra gg
and the Curl horse could not get in the
money Bragg likes a route and is a
slow beginner His usual burst of speed
was not in evidence yesterday and
Lille B. had slight difficulty i'll passing
him in the final strides.
q
winning owners with his Revolt, which
romped home with the long end of the
purse in the third race.
Tramotor was the favorite in this
race, but third was the best the Blute
gelding could do.
Our Lille. one of Stubbs Bros mud
hens showed surprisingly well on a fast
track and was the contender.
Only Winning Favorite
Masterson was the only winning fa-
vorite of the day and the good Melton
two-year-old from the Holland barn.
with Booker up, was the class of his
field.
Lotta Gladstone, which won at 80 to
/ a few days ago. was second and
Neatness was third.
Masterson held his field cheaply and
won on the bit by three open lengths.
This was his second start and second
win of the meeting and his race was
true to form.
Lotta was heavily backed on the
strength of her former race, but she
was outclassed by Masterson, which
will take lot of beating from any of
the two-year- division now at AS
cot
Hot was the seventy-ninth touted
good thing of the day and brought
home the groceries.
OFF in front, Jackson took him back
and saved his speed for the finish and
when the pinch came, Hot was as fresh
as daisy and went under the wire
fighting for his head.
The Huguenot ran great race for
his first out and will not be beaten by
anything in this bunch again. He was
second, with Freesias third and firing.
Attractive Gard Today
For a midweek Offering the card for
today is the best of the meeting thus
far Six events, including three
sprints, are down for decision and all
events are literally patronized by the
horsemen.
The first race on the card will be
mile selling affair for three-year- olds
and upward which have not Won more
than once since June /, with a uni
form allowance of eight pounds below
the scale
Non-winners since June are allowed
five pounds extra and winners since
November ! are penalzed five pounds.
Fourteen entries have been made for
this event. but scratches will probably
reduce the field One-third
NinnasquaW and Sun Mark will
probably break into a duel for the lead
after the start and the former has
the most speed and the better staying
qualities.
Ninnasquaw ran such smashing
good race behind Borghesi last out.
and was beaten only half length at a
mile and fifty yards i'm 1:44k, that the
Berkel mare is entitled to the call for
first place. 1t is difficult to figure Just
how the others have "A chance against
her.
The Borgian is we'll bred. owned by
winning stable and will have a good
hoy up, probably Kunz, and should be
the contender after Sun Mark fades
away
If Neversuch wakes up there will
be a rafting of old dry bones, but he
has been in the barn so long that he
will hardly care Ia aNsta,1 ht,,,.,Ie -
