beat her
Rubric is speedy, but the distance
may not suit him. All his Ascot tri-
umphs have been over sprint coursee
and he has been beaten every time
he tried for a mile and over.
Banker should ndt be expected to
win on first out. Hippocrates Is hardly
good enough here. while Sais and
Clydeo are outclassed and have shown
no particular hankering for the dis
tance.
1t may be that Varieties will win,
Druid should be second and Hars
Wagner should be third.
Domo Has Big Job
The event of secondary Importance
is the handicap sprint and the track
may be set Attire by the nine speedy
ones that are carded to go to the post.
The race should furnish one of the
prettiest contests of the meeting.
Old reliable Don Domo has house
on his back, the distance is slight
fraction farther than he particularly
likes aud he will have a plenty to at
tend TO II he wins.
Boots" Durnell will have Prince
Silverwings and Incarnation as his can
didates but these must show decided
Improvement to get the long end OF
the purse II Wiley puts up another
star ride on the order Of that given
New Mown Hay last Saturday his
mount won't be l-2-1
El Otros must be reckoned with and
this distance is made to order for the
Baldwin candidate. His early speed
should serve to- keep him close to the
gray ghost throughout and may land
the prize.
Masterson has IL pounds off his last
race when Loyal Front beat him to
the wire and this should help some.
Valencia must not be overlooked
with only So pounds up and will be n
hard one to beat today.
The result. however, may be Don
Domo, Valencia. Incantation
The initial event OF the day will be
n Journey at one and one-sixteenth
miles with fourteen starters named
to go.
File dor ought to earn brackets
over this bunch She Is In with light
weight and has all the dor speed pro-
clvities which will be of much use
against this ordinary field.
Homestead, Red Damsel, Rockey.
Tom Riley, Kinsman, Myrtle II and
Capable are weighed out of 1t, while
yellow Kid, Rostof, Pyrrho and
y
formers.
This leaves the probabilities about
like this; File dor, Freesias, Retador
Babes First Race
Thirteen baby racers will try to earn
brackets in their maiden starts in the
second race, which is at three furlongs.
There is no form to this race and
il is probable that uniform price of
20 L. Iat1 ,ts.- -
them, with no place or show being
haZarded.
The race should furnish the neces
sary amusement for the Ascot patrons
and if "Commencer" Dwyer gets them
away from the post inside Of an hour
or succeeds in keeping them corraled
at the barrier long enought to get them
away evenly he should be given a life
membership in the hall of fame.
Ten seasoned platers will face the
barrier in the fifth race for journey
of one full mile.
McGrathiana Prince should get an
other purse here and will be the fav-
orite in the books.
The Gadf1y is a good platter at this
distance. is always trying to the limit
and will be ridden by Booker. This
one will be the contender and should
be no worse than second at the end.
Potrero Grande might not sulk to-
day and cannot be worse than third.
When he runs kindly he is a hard one
to beat and usually finishes la Bear
catcher.
A good guess as to the result is Nc
Grathiana Prince, The Gadf1y, Potrero
Grande.
The final event on the card brings
together another field of large proper
tions, fourteen aentries having been
made.
The bunch is extraordinarily ordinary
and any one of them has a license to
win. Oudon will be hard to beat at
this distance and should get all the
grapes.
Dollie Weithoff will be the contender
and Pachuca appears to be the third
best horse in the race. Parvo may be
a surprise and Golden Buck is not to
be held too cheaply.
The result: Oudon, Dollie Weithoff,
Pachuca.
