BY FOREST LOWRY.
The most palpable reversal of form
seen here this season occurred yester-
day at Ascot when J. A. weinberg
Freesias won the sixth race over a
mile and fifty yards of ground in the
remarkable fast time of 1:44%. Last
Saturday Freesias was beaten by Duti-
ful in mile and seventy yards in the
slow time of 1:471k. The result of tbs
race shocked the talent and cleaned
them of all the money they ever pos
sessed. with Doctor c. and George
Berry scratched. five of the three
year-olds and upward class faced the
barrier. Gus Lanka's Tryon was al
ways favorite and went to the post at
Q to 1. The Bassetlaw gelding made a
rather poor showing and finished back
in the ruck.
]. A. Wernberg's Freesjas, at the good
price of TO 1, took his field into camp
in the easiest manner imaginable and
won handily within a half second of
track record time for the distance.
Durbar set the early pace and at the
head of the stretch looked all over the
winner. When the run for home began
Durbar tired badly and was lucky to
be third. Freesias came up on the out
side and simply cantered. Red Cross
Nurse, held at to in the betting, was
third. Chub well played at to 2,
ran in the rear all the way.
Easy for Decmo
Decimo won the steeplechase race,
first on the card, at to 5, from AL
legance and Cazador. Five went to
the post and each came in for sore
support. Decimo was never extended
and after taking the last jump had
things all his own way. Allegiance
was anchored with the impost and on
the end was tired enough to lie down.
Jockey Miller's brilliant finish re-
turned Del Coronado the winner of the
second race. Mammon was a good
horse yesterday and with anybody but
Dillon up would have won off by him
self. He opened at Is to 1 and was
played down to to l at post time
Belle Dixon and Del Coronado set all
the early pace and at the head of the
stretch it looked as though the pair
had quite enough. Belle Dixon sue
cumbed. while Coronado stuck it out
and gamely withstood Mammons chal-
lenge. The latter had the race at his
mercy at the paddock and was winning
off by himself when Miller made one
more try. Del Coronado responded and
under keen urging got up again into
the going and nipped the race from
Mammon just at the wire. Jardin de
Paris was third
Miller Tosses Race Away
After displaying great jockeyship in
the race before Miller tossed off the
next event by making his move too
late with Kehailan, the favorite. Ret
ador, at to 2, scored a lucky but we'll
earned victory. He grabbed Linda
Rose in the stretch and then raced her
into submission through the stretch.
Kehailan was always well up but Mil
Ter overrated his mount and came at
the end with a much belated rush. He
simply tossed the race away and made
to 2 shot look like the proverbal
thirty cents Linda Roses early speed
kept her in the money, but she did
not have enough left to stall off Ke-
hailan's rush.
William Wright. closing at to 10,
won the free handicap event, fourth
on the card, from Ishlana and ARABIC.
Wright was always favorite and went
TO the post carrying a ton of the pub
lies money. After ARABIC ran his head
off in six furlongs. William Wright
some on and scored as he pleased.
Ishlana, coupled with Ishtar, was held
at TO l. The latter was never in the
hunt.
The Lieutenant Wins
Harry Stover's Lieutenant was
good horse yesterday and at the liberal
price Of to l disposed of a very or
dinary bunch of bad ones. Palmist,
whose recent races have been right up
to the notch, was made favorite and
was held at to in the betting. He
was never dangerous and wound uu
in the rear. Bandillo set the early pace
and got out far enough in front to
hold the place safe from Flora Bright.
The Lieutenant came at the end with
rush and just did get up.
