Los Angeles herald., 1906-01-18

brackets from Neatness and Pepper
Pod has a royal chance with any OF
them, but. the finish will probably be
in this order: Wee Lass, Neatness, Pep
per Pod.
Maiden 2-year-olds will strive for
glory in the second event, another purse
affair, with the distance at three and
one-half furlongs.
Tom Gilroy appears the best of the
bunch and should win easily, as he
will have no tBlanche Cs nor Esther
Bs to run against here.
Captain Jarrel should get the place
but if he falters the least wee bit Sill
yer Stocking will beat him out of 1t.
The finish should be Tom Gilroy,
Captain Jarrel and silver Stocking.
Orchan will probably not start In the
third race, since winning the handicap
yesterday is enough glory for this one
for few days. If he goes to the post,
however. It's all over but the shout
ing. Under the conditions, however,
Orchan is not eligible.
File dor appears best of the others
and should come back and win today.
Wyefield should get the place and Gen
tie Harry to show Is the best sugges-
ton of the day.
The probabilities are File d'Or, Wye
field, Gentle Harry.
No "squattIne" Today
If Incarnation does not squat
again she will make Rubric be content
with chasing her to the wire. The
feather on her back, ninety-five pounds,
is about sufficient to steady her and
she will tote it like hodcarrier at 81
a day.
Rubric has a cinch on the place and
the track conditions do not worry him
10 ig fna o., o4I,a
and may worry Incantation some IL he
gets away nicely, but second place is
where he should land.
Astral II and Alma Gardia will fight
1t out for the show and the former
should get the decision. El Otros will
go well with his light weight, but may
not be 1-2-3.
The result should be Incarnation,
Rubric, Astral II.
Thirteen ordinary platers will face
the barrier in the fifth race for trial
trip of one and one-sixteenth miles.
With weight off and world of speed
Rubiana seems to hold the edge on
all the others and should win out all
alone.
Dollie Weithoff picks up weight, but
will not mind the distance and she
should cash place bets.
Chickadee is easily third best and
this is the worst the old campaigner
should do.
The end may be Rubiana, Dollie
Weithoff, Chickadee
Crowshade will be fayorite for the
sixth race, but will despiSe the distance
and weights and may not be 1-2-3,
However, if she gets away nicely she
Will set such hot pace that all Others
Will be consumed before the stretch is
reached and she may be able to there
after romp
Evelyn Griffin has second call and
may be an improved filly today. If she
is, she will be hard to beat. The place
looks good.
Sir Brinkley ought to earn a. sack of
oats by getting into the money and
third is about his potion.
The result should be Crowshade Eve
lyn Griffin, Sir Brinkley.
D.. u. stevens arrived from Oakland
yesterday with a small string of good

races yesterday when she won the S1OO0
handicap from Clydeo and Gilpin. Cut

a slow track yesterday in 1:46A. car
rying three pounds more than did Ethv-
lene when she set the record.
George Rose is known as the Chester
field of the ring in the east and he is
no more popular around New York
than he is at Los Angeles. 1t is sec
ond nature to him to remark. "I thank
you" to the man who hands him a
81 wager the same as to the plunger
who wants to get on $4,000. An example
occurred yesterday which justified the
things said of him I'm
the eastern press. An elderly man made
a wager with Rose on the fourth race.
Rose may have misunderstood the man
when he called the ticket and gave
him a ticket on The Entry calling for
$500 10 $50. In a few seconds the bet
tor came back and demanded roughly
that the ticket be changed to Roy
croft. Rose made the change without
discussion and the bettor had the
pleasure (?) of walking outside and
witnessing the win of The Entry while
Roycroft finished eighth.

the judges to have fair racing or nope
