handicaps Of the season was marred
yesterday by one of the poorest starts
seen here this season. The fourth
event on the card, free handicap,
brought out a field of high-class per-
formers and of the six carded to go,
but four got away on equal terms.
McDaniels on Ralph Young beat the
barrier, which left Flo Bob, Ethylene
and Hans Wagner all tangled up when
the word was given to "come on"
High Chancellor was twenty lengths
out of 1t before he hit his stride while
Sais never did get away.
Chancellor Always Favorite
High Chancellor, the favorite, was
backed from one end of the ring to the
other and his failure to get away
burned up ton of the public's money.
The books cleaned up handsomely to
this race and whatever other losses
they may have sustained were more
than balanced by the leaving at the
post of the heaviest played horse. The
small field which faced the starter
fretted around the post for ten min
utes or more before the barrier flew
UP. When Starter Dwyer sent the
field away the six horses were facing
the barrier. High Chancellor seemed
to swerve, while Sais refused abso-
lutely to break.
Flo Bob the Winner
High Chancellor was always favorite
at to /, with Flo Bob at 16 to : and
Ethylene and Hans Wagner equal
third choices at to 1 each. Ralph
Young beat the gate and set all the
early pace. Hans Wagner and Flo
Bob, slow to hit their strides, chased
after the lightweight and soon wore
him down. Flo Bob was held in re-
serve and when the drive forward be-
gan moved up and wore down Hans
Wagner in fierce drive through the
stretch. Ralph Young got enough in
seven furlongs and was ready to chuck
it up entirely at the paddock. Nc
Daniels kept digging at him and man
aged to hold him up long enough to
land third place. High Chancellor and
Sais were never persevered with after
the start.
Easy for Descuento
Just now how good Descuento is
nobody seems to know unless it is H. |
M. Tichenor who paid $4,000 for him |
the other day. The unbeaten colt |
went five and a half furlongs yester-
day in track record time and won the
fifth event on the card at the short
price of 1 to 4. He was in with Aze-
lima, Tramator and Merces, all three
year-olds like himself. He got away
full in his stride and simply toyed
with his field. At the end DescuentO
was several lengths in front and under
double wraps equaled the track rec
ord time for five and a half furlongs.
Tramator was second with Azelina
third.
Montana Peeress Disqualified
Montana Peeress. after winning the
sixth race on the card, was disqualified
and placed last and the decision was
awarded to Dutiful. All through the
stretch Montana Peeress bore in on
most knocked the gray horse to his
knees Montana Peeress and Dutiful |
were rated equal favorites at to 1 |
each and most of the investments We're |
divided between these two. Ray was |
handed around as a good thing and |
was backed from to Z to to 1. She |
finished third but was moved up a peg
when Montana Peeress was placed last |
for fouling Dutiful. Patsy Brown was
given the show.
Linda Rose, favorite in the opening |
event, scored an easy victory from
White Stone and Jardin de Paris She |
opened at 10 1 and went to the post |
at 3 to 2. Fer de Lance was backed |
from 80 to to 10 to 1, but failed to |
run in the money.
Varro receding from to to to 1 |
captured the second race on the card
from Capable, the favorite, with Fran
gible third. The latter carried a deal
of the public's money as he was backed
from to 1 to to /.
The third race was taken by Tyro-
liam, who was backed from TO to Q |
TO 5. Interlude finished second and
bod Anderson third.
