Of six to one-Joekey Fuller
Wins Two Races at
Ascot Park
BY FOREST LOWRY.

The favorites divided the long ends
of the purse yesterday at Ascot. The
public cleaned up we'll on silver Sue,
winner of the baby race, Rough Rider,
bod Anderson, Golden Sunrise and The
Bugaboo. Altogether It was a case of
peaches and cream for the talent The
wise fraternity picked the winner of
the first event, which was for two
year-olds over four furlongs of ground.
S NJ. Williams Silver was played heav-
lily at 3 to 2 and to 5. Search Me
looked all over the winner at the head
Of the stretch and showed the way to
the paddock. Silver Sue closed up
fast on Search Me, entering the stretch
after little shaking up, got up Just
in time. Daisy Brouck was third.
The second race on the card. which
was for three-year-olds and upward
went to Gene Handlon. held at to
IN the betting. Gene Handlon worked
his way up steadily after a rough jour
i!ey and flashed into winning lead at
the head of the stretch. Our Pride,
who by the way was practically left at
the post, came from far back the last
quarter and finishing with a rush just
did get up in time to nip Nanon for
the show. Our Pride was held at 40 to
to win and IL place.
Rough Rider Wins
Seven -year-olds and upward
went to the post in the mile and an

into favoritism and closed at 10 to 5.
The winner turned up in Rough Rider,
who was backed from to 1 to to 1.
He was wild horse, had the speed of
the party and simply made his field
look like three Canadian dimes. Iras,
who badly outrun the first part, made
up a world of ground and on the end
was running great guns. She got up
in time to get the judges eyes for the
place while Huapala was given the
show. The favorite finished fifth.
bod Anderson, who was backed to a
standstill around to /. captured the
six furlongs race, fourth on the card,
from Rubiana, who was chalked at to
/ and Joe Kelly, whose show price was
6 to 1. bod Anderson did not get into
clear sailing till the stretch was
reached where she stole up on the rail
and under the whip came away with a
bound On the end she was pulled d
walk and was in front by five lengths
Golden Sunrise in Front
Buckster Hodi at so to to win and
10 to place was just nipped at the
wire by Golden Sunrise in the six fur
longs purse race, fifth on the program.
The winner was well played at 16 to
and as the result of a splendid ride
came on the outside and got the verdict
by nose. Skeptic ran nice race,
was always well up but when the real
racing began was not there. Prior got
what there was to be had, but the Bru-
tus colt was not good enough and just
did last long enough to be third. Esca-
mado and Retador, coupled as the
Baldwin entry, finished out of the
money.
The Bugaboo held at to and well
supported took the sixth race after a
hard drive through the stretch Strag-
gler in on the rail and laboring all the
way barely lasted and was second.
Bronze Wing grabbed the short end of
the purse. The latter showed a world
of speed and at the paddock looked all
over the winner. Just when the pinch
came he quit.
