nerve. but If he gets third place he will
be fortunate.
The result may be: Henchman, Col.
Bronston. Theo Case.
Cutter Is the best of the field in the
purse race which will be the feature
fiat event of the day. The Durnel fillY
is too speedy for the others and should
win easily all the way.
Firm Foot will beat Retropaw for the
place, although the latter is in with
a mere feather up and should go some.
Retropaw should certainly be as good
as third
The result should be Cutter, Firm
Foot, Retropaw.
Red Light has the chance of a life
time in the fifth event and with light
weight up should get the long end of
the purse from Sun Mark.
The latter will be hard to beat in this
company, but Red Light is able to
turn the trick and will hardly pass up
such an opportunity.
Capable is the outsider which has
the best chance to beat these two to
the wire and ought to be 1-2-3
An excellent guess as to the result
is Red Light, Sun Mark Capable
Starting is the goods in the last race
and all the good things in the imag-
ination of those who are "wise" can
not beat this one.
Rodolfo is second and Search Me
should get the show end of the purse.
Probabilities in this instance are
Startling, Rodolfo, Search Me.
Wiley rode two winners yesterday.
plotting Hersain and Incarnation first
under the wire. Moore, Miller, Borel
and Prior rode the other winners.
Jockey w. Schade, who rode for the
Schrieber stable at Ascot until last
week, rode DR.. Gardner, the only WIN
ming favorite at Oakland yesterday.
Montana Peeress, which has been a
perpetual good thing among the Los
Angeles pikers' colony for an indefinite
length of time, finally won a race at
Oakland yesterday at the good price
of so to /.
McGrathiana Prince, which broke
Gown few days ago in II race with
The Huguenot and The Gadhy, is i'm
proving. but it will be several days
before the good old campaigncr will
be seen in the entries again.
A peculiar coincidence is noted in the
baby race in that all those which had
previously started finished in front oe
the bunch which first faced the barrier
in this race. 1t bears out the saga
advice of an old horseman to not play
maiden against seasoned horses.
The career of Charlie Van Dusen as
an owner has begun auspciously and
| since his colors were first seen at Ascot
his entry has never been out of the
money. Hippocrates was his entry yes
terday and this one was third to In
cantation and Varieties.
The race run by Alencon against In
cantatiOn was disappointment to
those who have admired the speedy
! Williams colt. on form he figured to
be the contender, but was beaten off
nearly seven lengths by Incantation,
Varieties and Hippocrates.
George Wheelock of New York,
president of the NETS" and one of
! the most prominent of the eastern
! bookmakers was a visitor to Ascot
| yesterday and enjoyed a profitable day

u. w. Wilson, father of Jockey
| Louis Wilson and owner of a string of
good ones, has recovered sufficiently
| from his recent illness to be able to
visit the track and was circulating
| among his old-time acquamtances yes
terday, incidentally picking up eX-
Lenses and "then some' by placing
meat" little sums on Sir Wilfred, In
! cantaton and Hersan.
