The second race is at a mile and Mint
entries are named to go. Kinsman 4
i'm favorably and was scratched yester
/ day and re-entered i'm this race.
If he gets away from the post witt
| Sheriff Bell he will get the long end o
| the purse. Sheriff BELL may last Ions
| enough to get the place, and Pettijohr
looks good for the show.
! The fourth race is split Of the sec.
ond and Is at the same distance, witt
eight entries.
IL seems TO he very difficult to defeat
q gray horse at Ascot, and as Dutifu
| has the edge on color and is about
ready to earn his oats, he should &c
to the front early and last long enough
to get the decision
Hersain has been persistently seeking
admission into the bracket bunch, and
| her early speed will enable her to keer
| i'm sight of Sheriff Bell and Dutiful
and may get the show end of the purse
A small field of five will face the
barrier In the fifth race. Orchan Is In
with 113 pounds. and in the event of
rain this one could not lose by break
| ing leg but on the dry and upon past
performances Orchan is out of consd-
Grafton here.
Golden Green won over this distance
| from Old Mike last out, and is In with
practically the same weight today. He
should repeat today.
| Blissful is dangerous in this company
and with only ninety-two pounds w
should not be worse than second and
has good chance to win.
Old Mike is q finisher' from away back
and will be right there at the finish. He
should be the third horse in the money
The last race today is unusually at
tractive, with Confessor, Cutter, Revolt
Graceful and eight others of some class
named to go.
Confessor should repeat his perform
ance of few days ago and run away
from this field.
Graceful appears to be second best
and should be in that position at the
finish, beating Alencon, which should
be third.
II. r. Schaffner sent his first entry
to the post yesterday. Viona toted the
Schaffer colors in the three quarters
dash and ran into third place.
Don Domo has ceased to improve.
being now about at his best and it
is doubtful if anything at the track
can beat him at less than six furlongs.
Fireball has recovered from the
slight injury sustained in his last out
several days ago and will probably
be entered to contest one of the races
on the card for Saturday.
Two favorites, three second choices
and a third choice annexed all the
| purses yesterday. Not q long shot
scored during the day, Peggy O'Neal
being the nearest with a price of to l..
The finish between Rubiana and Brig
and was one of the prettiest and closest
| witnessed at Ascot this season. Brig
and was first by bare nod and it
was almost close enough to call dead
| heat.
| There are several racers at Ascot by
| Sandringham, Madden's great English
| stallion, and all are maintaining the
reputation of their sire. Good Luck,
which beat Masterson and Vino yes
terday, is one of these and has won all
OF his starts since opening day.
| Masterson ran into small space he
tween Good Luck and the rail in the
! final one hundred yards of their race
yesterday and was forced to pull up,
losing his stride. 1t is not believed
that the good Melton colt could have
won with clear sailing, but the Incl
dent furnished the losers with an op-
portunity to grumble.
"Puddin' Mcdaniel rode two winners
yesterday, putting Brigand and Ira
motor under the wire ahead of their
fields. His work in the saddle has
shown much improvement since open
| ing day and he is regarded as one of
the most capable boys on the coast. His
lcng suit is in a driving finish when
he shows to good advantage.
Jockey Ted Turner of Australia will
be at Ascot next week and will prob
ably remain until the close of the
| season. Turner is known as the
Australian Tod Sloan and has scored
distinct success in that far away
country, where he is among the lead
ing riders. Turner will seek a license
from the Pacific Jockey club and as he
comes to America with a clean record
he will probably be successful In his
application.
The track was about one second slow
yesterday owing to the rain Tuesday
night Indications are favorable TO a
slow track for Saturday, which will
be the biggest day in the history of
Ascot racing. The management and
PUBIC are CllnSlnP 10 the nope that
the weather conditions will be on par
with the Importance of the occasion,
as the contests down for decision are
extraordinary and are attracting great
interest.
Starter Dwyer made his first poor
start yesterday, but is not entitled to
much blame for it, as the horses were
| unruly and fractions and as the bar
rier sprung several of them dashed
through it, messing the field and fore
ing four horses to pull up momentarily.
Ebony, Judge Denton, Chickadee and
Homestead were the sufferers by the
accident Homestead was thrown out
of the running and Schade merely gall
loped the Schrieber entry around the
course, getting back to the wire after
the field finished and was unsaddled
Bearcatcher and Cruzados are now
stabbed at Ascot, having arrived from
Ingleside yesterday afternoon, and
both are in excellent condition to go
to their best marks in the special $500
match race with Handzarra Saturday.
The 5OO-mile ride did not leave the
slightest i'll effect and neither of the
sprint marvels bears any trace of hav-
ing made the trip. Garnet Ferguson,
owner of Bearcatcher, and T. Cook,
trainer for the Baldwin string at In
