Rubiana Wins
Rubiana. which has been trying for
brackets for long time, found the
slow track exactly to her liking and
fairly galloped all the way from the
first quarter.
Chickadee tried to get to the front.
but the pace was too dizzy and second
place was the portion of the Weinberg
mare.
Red Damsel, neglected in the market,
raced into third place, while Tom Ri
ley. Ebenezer and Mauser failed to get
slice of the purse.
Orilene spreadeasled her field in the
fourth race and was never in trouble.
Gilpin got the place and j. F. Donohue
was third.
Chalk Hedrick, Ralph Young and
Col. Bronston gave up the struggle in
the stretch and finished as the "also"
division.
Boots Durnel took his regular daily
event with his entry. Elizabeth F, in
the fifth race Elizabeth had only -
pounds up and was almost an eighth
of II mile in front at the wire.
Wyetield finished with u great rush
and nipped the place from The Hugue-
not i'm the final strides.
After the race j. ]. McCafferty
claimed Wyefield for J. A. Weinberg,
getting the Mccarthy gelding for 1925.
McCafferty also bid UP Elizabeth r
from $500 TO $500, Durnell bidding the
extra So to retain his gray fllly Dur,
nell claimed Sandalwood which fin
ished fourth, from G. A. Ross for
$1O25.
John Bondy sent Henchman over
again in the sixth race. beating DR..
McCarty and Golden Buck.
Dr. McCarty set out to make a run
away race of this event, but tired and
HenChman ran over him in the final
one hundred yards
Stoessel was fancied to win this race
but could not run in the money. After
the race William Walker purchased
Stoessel from T.. LuZader at private
sale for $780,
Handicap Is Feature
The usual hgh-class card for Satur-
day is down for decision today ana
includes the Santa Anita handicap.
This event is to be run over the Brooks
course and especial interest attaches
because DR.. Leggo. one of the best
racers on the coast, will go to the
post, having been shipped from Frisco
by 9. G. McCafferty to win this event.
DR.. LeggO will be coupled with Or
chan as the Durnell entry and this
gives Durnell a dOuble-bladed cnch on
the first money and it would not be
much of a surprise if he secured first
and second moneys.
DR.. Leggo should breeze all the way
in front, although carrying 1l6 pounds,
which is top weight, but he is a high
class performer and is in light.
Orchan prefers a SLOW track and
shines with greater brilliancy In the
mud than on pastebOard track He
has shown steady Improvement in re-
cent starts and if the track conditions
are as yesterday he will be the one
TO beat for first money.
Marshal Ney figures TO be 1-2-3 and
is probably third best, at least, in this
field. Borghes will find the task of
tOting 112 pounds too tiresome and
should not be in the money.
1t is probable that the result will be
Dr.. Leggo, Orchan, Marshal Ney.
Lotus May Start
Another feature of the card today
is the probable appearance Of Lotus.
the $4,000 beauty. by the great Wa
tercress. which was reported to have
been sold to John w. Gates last fall
Lotus is in the Durnell string and
public curiosity for a sight of the great
filly may be satisfied If Durnell does
not scratch her from the third race.
Lotus last appearance was at Jamai-
ca, October 20, when she breezed five
and one-half furlongs in the mud i'm
:07, winning under a strong pull and
beating a field of hish-class tWo-year-
olds.
Lotus has 112 pounds up today and
this being her first out in many weeks,
she must win solely ON class rather
than on form, but she is one of the
greatest fllies in training and public
gaze will be satiated If she starts, re-
gardless of where she finishes.
The race may result Lotus, Evelyn
Griffin, Neatness. The distance is at
five furlongs
The baby racers will open the turf
carnival with a dash at four furlongs.
Thirteen starters are named i'm the en-
tries and three of these have vet TO
face the barrier and should not be
considered.
Lady Allece won her last out i'm an
impressive manner and should repent
today. Esther Il should be the con-
tender and capt. farrell ought to he
third,
Graphite Is Good
The second race is at one and one
half miles and ten starters are named
