BY jay Davidson

The feature event on the card at
Ascot yesterday was the second $1,000
handicap of the meeting, and was won
in romp by Cutter, which stepped
the one and one-sixteenth miles In the
heeavy going in 1:46h, which is with
in three-quarters of q second OF the
track record made by Ethylene.
The performance was one of the best
Of the season and Cutter ran one OF
her best races, although she was at no
time in any difficulty and the result
was never for q moment IN doubt.
"Puddin" Mcdaniel had the mount
and he hustled the Wittenberg filly to
the front Immediately after the start,
and she never faltered during the en-
tire journey, winning with four lengths
to spare.
Banker was made favorite on sus-
picion and the suspicious were not
well founded, as the Stokes colt seemed
unable to get up an ordinary gallop
during the journey and finished in fifth
position solely on sufferance.
Clydeo was always the contender,
but was never good enough to catch the
speedy filly, although easily winning
the place from Gilpin, which closed
with a rush and came from seventh
place in the stretch to third at the
wire.
Rertopaw was coupled with Cutter
as the Wittenberg entry and lay in
third place until he became convinced
that the stable entry would cop the
big end of the purse, when he ceased
to worry and dropped back to seventh.
w. H. Carey was incorrigible
throughout and was never better than
last at any stage of the running. Bor-
ghesi tired under weight and ended in
sixth place.
Nine Spot, the favorite, won the
opening event and this feat is all the
FOL nf bo 20
that few favorites have accomplished
the expected heretofore.
Harbor set sizzling pace to the
stretch, where Nine Spot became weary
of the place and assumed the leader
ship. Ethylene ran into third place,
beating out Quindaro by a full length.
Red Light Disqualified
Red Light, favorite, won the third
race, but in doing so fouled Memories
and was disqualified, giving Orchan
first place, Graphite second place and
Ralph Young the show money.
There was considerable crowding and
Dumping throughout the journey, in
which Memories was usually the suf-
ferer. With all this interference and
disadvantage, the Holland mare man.
aged to race into second place in the
stretch, being head behind Red Light,
the leader.
In the final sixteenth, when Memories
seemed to be winning, Red Light cut
across in front of her and Jockey Davis
was forced to either pull up or be
thrown over into the infield. He chose
the former, his mount going back to
fifth place.
There was no argument about the
disqualification, as it occurred at the
wire, and the judges promptly changed
the numbers of the first three" and
placed Red Light at the foot of the
class.
This decision was a righteous one
and was expected by the crowds in the
grand stand which witnessed the foul
ing.
Orchan found the track to his liking
and, despite his 113 pounds, had no diff
ficulty in running into second place,
thereby getting first money when Red
Light was disqualified.
Graphite showed a nice turn of speed
in the stretch and finished third, get
ting the place after the Disqualified
ton. Ralph Young was fourth and
was placed third.
oriIene Wins Again
Silver Sue was made favorite to win
the second race because of her light
impost, but Oriene had an easy task
to beat her.
Lacene was first away from the post
and held the leadership to the stretch,

her and she gave up the struggle.
Silver Sue was off none too we'll and
raced none too gamely, but when it
came to the stretch drive she closed
stoutly and secured show money from
Lacene, which was firing.
Silver Wedding, a long shot, finished
resolutely and beat out Silver Sue for
the place by the narrow margin of a
nose.
Fireball was made the shortest priced
favorite of the meeting in the books
npon the fifth race, being held at
70 10.
Although winning easily, Fireball did
not run in the early stages as be-
comes a 1 to 10 shot, and hackers of
Betsy, which was always a head be-
hind until well into the stretch, ac-
quired great loads of hope that for
once a prohibitive favorite would be
beaten and long shot win.
The hope was vain. Fireball is a
classy colt and easily raced Betsy into
submission, after which he romped
home, going under the wire three
lengths ahead of his field.
Skeptic ran disappointingly and was
beaten for the show money by North
Vile, held at Sos Worthwhile was the
only entry Of the four to have a show
price tackled against his chances of
not running last. and this was about
the only place where the public cashed
on the race.
Money Muss, favorite. was beaten by
Blissful, held at 15s, in the final race,
the Bonsack mare getting the verdict
by a head. This head cost the hookies
several thousand dollars as Blissful
was very popular at 15s.
Money Muss had a slight advantage
all the way to the closing strides, but
tired and faltered slightly at the end,
which permitted Blissful to get first
place.
Susie Christian finished last on the
rail and appeared about ready to win
another race until the gruelling finish
came off, when she decided to pre-
empt third place.
Sea Sick was we'll played for place
and show, as was Sheriff Bell, but
these were unable to travel with any
degree of pleasure to their hackers and
finished back in the ruck.
