much the best. Ordinarily, this one
would be considered dangerous in far
/ better fields than the one In which she
/ runs today and with only eighty-sever
pounds up she should run away with
| first money.
Chalk Hedrick will go better today
| with light weight than he did when he
| beat The Huguenot, but he will breaF
no records in this event. Second place
| is most appropriate for Chalk.
Gilpin is a good platter and can run
miles in about 1:42, but his easy vic
tories in both starts at Ascot have
| been over Indifferent fields and he Will
| find the going more strenuous today.
J. T.. Donohue is the outsider with the
best chance to turn surprise, Whlle
Col. Bronston. Ralph Young and Astral
| III. have no chances whatever.
The result may be Orilene, Chalk
Hedrick, Gilpin.
The first race is one Of the most diff
| ficult of the season and anything In 1t
has a chance. on form Moncie Mable
should gallop. Myrtle u. should be sec
ond and Astraea should be third.
Durbar appears TO hold the second
race at her mercy She carried ten
pounds more weight Wednesday and
was only beaten by Good Cheer by a
head beating Ethylcne by eight
lengths.
on this dav Durbar gave Etbylene
five pounds actual weight, today they
are evenly weighted, which allows Dur
bar five pounds.
Ethylene may he second and Bologna
may be third. Bologna can do better
than she did Tuesday and may be put
over today for the long end. ConVinc-
ing evidence that Bologna can beat
Durbar is not at hand, however.
Embarrassment may be out for the
money today The sliding scale of odds
may tell the tale. This one Is a ver-
table cyclone on wheels for speed If it
is desired that he win.
The result: Durbar. Ethylene, Bo-
logna.
Tom RiIey's Turn
The third race will probably go down
IN history a S the one which Tom Riley
won. Seventy yards further would have
won for Tom Tuesday, the seventy
yards being tackled on today with three
pounds less weight up and a poorer
field against him.
Any old thing may be in the money,
but Chickadee appears to be second
best Patsy Brown is one of those
things called pipes" for the show.
Probabilities: Tom Riley first. Chick
adee second, Patsy Brown third.
Boots" Durnell will about win his
daily race with Elizabeth f. in the
fifth. Seventy-five pounds means that
an apprentice will ride and a light one
at that. Elizabeth fairly ran away with
Jockey Zeigler the other day and no
seventy boy can hold her
today.
Theo. Case cannot be kept out of Sec
ond place without 'squatting' at the
start. Dollie Weithoff is a moral for the
show.
breezing from flag to wire, Theo. Case
second and Dollie Weithoff third.
The last race should add another
bracket to those already won by Money
Muss. This one is the class of this
race and should win in romp. Hench-
man should be second and Revolt may
be third.
The idea is: Money Muss first, Hench-
man, Revolt.
Red Light, who won the fifth race,
was bid up from $400 to sos and was
retained by j. +. Newman & Son.
A new plunger has put in an appear
ance at Ascot. He is a Chicago boy,
who booked in the east last summer,
but experienced hard luck. He ran a
shoestring into $4,000 here last week
ana mas d lnenOlueIldl run OI luCh.
1t is interesting to watch the pikers
follow him and put their money on
the same horses he does. He was re-
sponsible for the Dolly Weithoff coup
Wednesday. betting $50 at a crack in
all the books, getting as good as !
to 1 for some of his money, and took
at least $1,000 out of the ring on her
victory.
]. j. McCafferty will be host TO q
party of friends, including the news
paper boys at Ascot, on an outing to
Catalina island Sunday McCafferty
asserts that his cottage at Ascot is
a lonely place on the first day of the
week and he wants to look at the sub
marine gardens in company with a
congenial company. Accordingly he
has invited twenty friends and their
wives to accompany him to the mid
ocean resort and will provide a spe-
cial car to convey them to and from
San Pedro Sunday. The party will be
McCafferty's guests at dinner at the
Hotel Metropole and will be taken on
excursions to all points of interest
about the island.
