Purses
BY FOREST LOWRY.


The bookmakers had a glorious day
of 1t and cleaned up enough money
yesterday to build two or three race
tracks. Ala Russell. at 10 to 1. won
the first race, F'ireball at Is to 1 got
the long end of the purse in the sec
ond race, Sinner Simon at to 1 was
first by the judges stand I'm the third
event, Fustian with hardly supporter
at to 1 and equal first choice with
Blissful disposed of Requiter in the
fourth race, Tyron closing equal favor
ite with Watercure captured the fifth
race and Golden Ivy at IL to / landed
in front in the closing event.
Twelve two-year-old maiden fillies
went to the post for the three and a
half furlongs race first on the program
Ila was the favorite at 13 to 10 and was
well supported at that price. She was
never in the hunt and finished a bad
ninth. The winner turned UP in Ala
Russell at 10 to 1. She got away fly
ing, displayed a high order of speed
throughout and simply smothered the
Others Rosaro ran a surprisingly
good race and finished second. Annis,
who by the way came through with a
much belated rush, was third.
Capitanazo closed favorite in the six
furlongs sprint for which there we're
nine starters. Fireball closed at Is to
and when the Williams colt got the
verdict the books had a practically
clean sheet. Fireball was fresh and
good and showed high turn of speed
from the rise of the barrier to the
shook off Confessor after passing the
far turn. The latter never faltered
but went right on about his business
and had enough left to hold Ralph
Reese safe in the run for home. The
latter closed at the end with rush
and was an easy third. Capitanazo
was never in the hunt and finished
away back.
One for Sinner Simon
Sinner Simon, who figured an even
with yesterday, was allowed to go to
the post at to 1. Orchan and Del
Coronado were in with him and were
well liked by what is generally termed
the wise fraternity. With Padua in
the same race the latter would stand
out like a 3 to shot. Sinner Simon
ran third to Padua last Saturday
pulled up.
Simon was not played and when he
turned up the winner the books had
another clean up. He got away well
and was reserved for the run home.
The boy was careful and worked his
way UP gradually and then came on
with rush on the outside. He soon
overhauled Orchan and in the run
home had things all his own way. Del
Coronado was third. The favorite.
Invader, was never dangerous and
finished in the ruck. The seven fur
longs sprint, a free handicap for three
year-olds and upward, was captured by
Fustian at to 1 with Kenilworth sec
ond and Requiter third. Fustian was
badly outpaced the first part but moved
fast entering the stretch and caught
Kenilworth at the paddock. Miller's
ride on Fustian returned the Anderson
horse the winner. Blssful also started
but never had chance after the bar
rier was released.
Tryon Wins
Tryon backed from to to to 1
and closing equal favorite with Water
cure captured the fifth race from
Bronze Wing and Golden Light ham
oily. Tryon and Bronze race to the
front early and set a fierce pace to the
head of the stretch. From there on
they had all they could do to stall off
Golden Light, who came up on the out
side with a rush. Watercure was
sixth.
Golden Ivy at IL to 1 took the last
race on the card in a driving finish
through the stretch. Straggler was
eecond and VarrO third
