Three events are scheduled for the
opening of the Agricultural park cir
cult meeting tomorrow afternoon. The
2.1s pace for the willard stimson purse.
the 2:27 pace for the Christopher purse
and the 2:45 trot for the Founder $1,000
purse are the races carded for the first
DAY of harness racing on the California
circuit. The track is cer,ain to be In
ideal condition and there is every indi-
cation that there will oe record
breaking crowd in attendance the first
day of the meeting.
The Los Angeles HARNESS Horse as
ISOLATION retained all privileges for the
week Of local racing, and the usual
Paris mutuals and auction pools will
be under the supervision of an associa-
tion official.
The 2:13 pace should result in one Of
the hottest contested races of the meet
ing. Bonnie Ailse, Fairchild's brown
mare, wifi have strong backing in this
race. The mare has worked out well
and in several brushes with Tidal Wave
and Vision has shown a fine turn Of
speed when pressed for the last quarter.
and while the workouts of harness
horses are a very unsatisfactory basis
for Judgment Bonnie Ailse can be fig
ured to be punched with the best of
them in the 2:13. In the northern cir
cult races last year she established a
consistent record and scored decisive
beats over many good goers in the
northern section Of the state.
Cresco Wilkes and Vishon should also
make a good bid in this race. vishon
is a gelding Of parts and. everything
considered, not bad horse to have a
ticket down on when the first bunch
scores for the word. Wilkes has gone
nice miles in her weeks of preparation
for this years circuit races, is in per-
feet condition and ready to battle for
the money. There is little to choose
between the other entries; every horse
entered will practically have backing
to take first money.
The free-for-all pace next Saturday
has aroused great interest among the
harness turfmen in all sections of the
state. Edwin S., Tom Carneal and
O4ehooAOoS
tries in the event, while Kelley
Briggs, Zolock and Ira will probably
make these three flyers cut down the
ground in mark-lowering pace to get
the money. Ed Smith is confident that
Edwin S. can get away with any PAGER
in the state, while Highball and Tom
CarneaI will not lack.
The 2:27 pace, the second race to-
morrow afternoon, has one of the
largest entry lists OF the meeting.
Billy K. Glenn and Virginia are local,
ly the best known horses in this race
having footed around the Agricultural
park track many times last winter in
the matinee races. John r. Conway is
a well liked horse in this event, while
Bessire, Barnes and Argyle have
shown uncommonly well in their
workouts.
The green trot, the 2:45, is the last
race carded for tomorrow. Zombretta,
Louis Christopher's mare, should be
well up in the running in this race,
and while she will go against a field
that is certain to try her mettle to the
utmost, Christophers little trotter will
find many admirers among those who
have been holding tickers at Agricul-
turaI park in the early mornings for
the last week or so yt
