the public scored heavily in both
events. Mai Lowery was played for a
good thing and was backed from TO
1 TO 2 TO 1. Rubiana opened at to
and closed at 3s. The next four races
went to horses with long prices against
them and few supporters.
Willie Dugan carried off the riding
honors by plotting three winners HIS
ride on Orchan in the fourth race was
one of the days features. His powerfui
finish fairly lifted to victory an ap-
parently beaten horse. Dugan rode
Fireball and scored the easiest kind OF
a victory. In the last race he had TO
shake up his mount. Kingthorpe, vigor-
ously in order to get the long end Oh
the purse from Bailey.
Yesterday was cut-in day and ten
books went on. An unusually large
crowd was on hand and the chalkmen
handled plenty of money.
Mai Lowery Well Backed
An unwieldly field of eleven platers,
four-year-olds and upward, non-win-
ners of more than one race since last
October, faced the barrier for the OPEN
ing event of the day. The public sin
gled out Mai Lowery and backed her
from 5 to to 3 to 1. She easily took
care of Mammon, who was held at 4
to and Gentle Harry, the II to 3
favorite. Bandillo went out in front
and led the field to the three-eighths
pole, where Mammon moved up ana
took command. The latter tired pap
ably in the run for home and gave way
to Mai Lowery, who was always within
striking distance. Gentle Harry was
easily the best of the others and got
the short end of the purse.
Rubiana, heavily backed from to
2 to 8 to 1, led the eleven S-year-olds
over the Slauson course from flag fall
to finish. Philanthropist, at Z to 1,
was second, and Mart Gentry, at 31s
to /, third.
Another for Fireball
On past performances Albert Fir
stood out by himself to win the third
race, six furlongs, conditional af-
fair. He opened at to and was
backed down to to 5. A heavy play
went in on Felipe Lugo early in the
betting and the Baldwin horses price
shortened from s to to 1. Just before
post time he could be had at IS. Aze-
lima receded from 16 to to 31s to 1,
while Fireball was held at to l.
Fireball got away flying and raced
Albert Fir and Lord of the Heath off
their feet early. Dugan opened up a
gap of six lengths turning into the
stretch and won going away. Albert
Fir came on again at the paddock and
nipped Lord of the Heath on the post
for the place. Azelina was badly out
run the first part of the journey but
closed well. Briarthorpe, 60 to 1
chance, was left at the post.
Orchan at Ten to One
The feature event of the day was the
fourth, at one mile and a sixteenth.
Nine of the 3-year-olds and upward
division faced the barrier. Atlantico
opened favorite at to 1, with Nc
second choices at to l each. Both
came in for large investments and at
post time Borghesi represented most
of the play. He closed favorite at 3s
and Atlantico receded to is to 5. Nc
Grathiana Prince, closing at Az to 1,
was first to leave the post and re-
mained out in front to the paddock
gate. Orchan held at 10 to 1, with
Dugan in the saddle, got up with the
Regan gelding and fairly outgamed him
in the last 100 yards. Robador, whose
best price was 13 to 1, finished third.
Atlantico was fourth. Borghesi was
never in the hunt and wound up in
the ruck.
Bronze Wing Downed
Potrero Grande, at to /, downed the
even-money favorite, Bronze Wing, in
the fifth race. Snicado, at 5 to 1, fin
ished third. Potrero Grande went tc
the front early, took the shortest route
and on the end easily held Bronze
Wing safe. Sinicado was always vel
up and about ran his race. The event
was for three-year-old and upward
selling, once around the ring.
The six and a half furlong sprint
last on the card, brought together 6
field of eight 3-year-olds and upward
Gene Handlon was installed favorite
opening at 8 to and closing at to S
The schreiber gelding upset the talent
by finishing a bad fourth to King
thorpe, held at to 1; Bailey, whose
best price was Z to 1, and Sea Sick
the II to 5 second choice. When tn,
barrier was released Kingthorpe sho
10 the front and led his field the entir,
distance. Bailey made a bid for tn,
race a sixteenth out and threatene,
the winner at every jump. Dugan, ol
Kingthorpe, took no chances and shool
his mount up vigorously in order L
stall off the Baird colt. Sea Sick wa
next the rail through the stretch an,
under sharp urging managed to keel
Gene Handlon at safe distance 70
