Los Angeles herald., 1905-12-29

the post on even terms and in this
event Case ought to be second, at
least
Bondy's horses are rounding-to and
Henchman is in light which entities
him to some consideration I'm this COM
pany. lie may win, but third is about
where he will land.
Lille u, Stoessel, Aprils Pride and
Babe have been disappolntments
thus far and ought not be in the
money.
With good racing luck and formful
running the result will be near to
the following order: Marpessa, Theo
Case, Henchman.
Fortunatus May Repeat
The third race seems to have been
made to order for Fortunatus, although
he is carrying top weight, 112 pounds.
but this should not stop him in this
field
There is not much for him to beat
here and after Sheriff Bell and Dutiful
run their heads off out in front It
should be an easy task for Fortunatus
to come on and win.
Xxi should be second His last out
was n dismal failure and q disappoint-
ment to Trainer Williams, but should
not keep Xxi out OF the place
Dutiful may last long enough to get
the show money, as the others In the
race are not much. Dolle Weithoff is
the only outsider with any chance and
the route will probably be too much
for her.
El Otros will burn up the track in
the fourth race. but will not last long
enough to beat Skeptic out of first
money.
Skeptic is in good form now and
should have no difficulty in winning.
With good boy up the Goodin treas
ury will be 1926 richer after this race
FL Otros ought to beat Sais for the
place If he runs back to the form of
his last race.
Sais has shown decided Improvement
in his last few races and as there is
nothing to beat him for the short end
of the purse it is probable he will land
here.
The result should be skeptic, Ell
Otros, Sais.
Hester w Is Good
A pretty duel between two speedy
ones is due when Hester w and Crow
shade tie UP IN the fifth race, a purse
affair over the Futurity course.
Hester has credit for running the
fastest five furlongs of the meeting
when she toted 1O5 pounds over the
dash in 1:0015 last Monday. She will
one turns the trick will do it in near
to record time.
Crowshade has big shade the best
os the others and is the one that Hes
ter must beat for first money. Chan
tilly beat this one by going five and
one-half furlongs in 1074 one week
ago.
On a previous out, December II
Crowshade beat Hester w in a five fur
ITtN doc
pounds the best of the weights.
Lotta Gladstone has shown a dispo-
sition to run kindly in her last outs
and ought to be third.
The result should be Hester W.
Crowshade, Lotta Gladstone.
The last race brings together the big
gest field of the day, as usual, and
fourteen are carded to face the bar
rer.
Lady Kispar has shown such start
ling form in all her outs that she
should have the preference here.
Prince Ching is entitled to second
call and ought not to be worse thar
the place at the end.
Hilona has done nothing of late that
would entitle her to much preference
here, but she will probably be among
the 1928 runners and may get the
show.
Inc END may come in this fashion:
Lady Kispar, Prince Ching, Hilona.
"Commencer'' Dwyer soaked Jockey
Wiley with a $25 fine for bad acting
while on Parvo at the post in the fifth
race.
1t is said that Oudon, which won the
last race on the card, was bought by e.
f. Beatty, his present owner, for $780,
He carried top weight and won from
barrier to the wire.
S. NJ. Williams bought Wee Lass
from Joseph James yesterday. paying
$1,000 for her, and she ran in Williams
colors in the fifth race. Lacene ran her
first race in the colors of Denny Bros.
in the same race, winning easily.
Neil Moran, who plays the role of the
professor in the college Widow" Wis
tied Ascot yesterday and incidentally
pulled down nice place bet on Red
Light. He also took piker's chance on
Marc Lichtenstein, which was quoted
at 100 to 1 in the second race.
Gondolus, which ran second to Oudon
in the last race, was quoted at 100 to l
and was as good as 30 to 1 for the
place. Nobody has been found who
ever saw him tending bar anywhere
and he went 10 the post without the
OF a single ticket in the
books.
Jockey w. Fischer had his first mount
in several days, having completed his
days on the ground by order Of the
judges, and rode a hair-raising finish
on Hector in the opening race. Hector
was the best of the bunch in with
him ana had Bribery not beaten the
barrier by a couple of lengths at the
start the Weinberg gelding would have
won.
RoXie Angarola is the smiling boy
of the local meeting and carries the
perpetual smile that won't come off.
Even when Jockey Van Dusen was
bidding up Hippocrates at $500 gurgle
Roxie kept up his courage and smiled
at the proceedings as he realized he
would get n fair price for his colt
So seductive is his smile that the
cannot resist his offer of
a small plunge when RoXie wants to
back his entry to win.
Although the usual number of spills
and accidents have occurred in races
