lost $3.50 yesterday because of a re-
markable freak of fortune. His crack
hlly, Sunray, was coupled in the bet
ting with Secret and was selling at
3 1-2 to l. At the start, Sunray reared
| upon her launches and lunged through
the air as If trying to jump over the
| moon. This permitted the field to get
away ahead of her and when she be-
gan to run Fustian was fully twenty
| lengths away and running easily In
| his stride. With this disadvantage.
Sunray made up much ground and
was beaten by a spare head. With an
even break at the start, Sunray would
have rolled all the way to the wire
Don Domo tied the track record for
five and one-half furlongs when he
Won the fifth race and had he extended
he would have broken the track record
1t is against the proprieties of the oc-
| caslon, however, to break more than
| one track record a day. -Four records
have gone by the board this week and
| IN aHt leo
| meeting that could come in no other
way. The class of horses racing at AS
cot this season is far above the average
and it is probable that new records will
prevail for all distances before the
meeting ends.
Judge Hamilton is sensitive regarding
fair and square racing and he took
pleasure In giving evidence of his dis
approval Of rough riding tactics yester-
DAY when he assessed a fine of $10O
against Booker and a similar penalty
against Swain for preventing better
horses than their mounts from winning,
Fustian could not have beaten The
Entry from winning the selling stakes
had fair show been given Secret at
| the finish. This cost Booker 500
Swain won with Interlude by pinnine
| Golden Buck, the favorite, on the rail
when Golden Buck was ready to pass
Interlude and win. This cost swain
500. These verdicts are righteously
rendered and Judge Hamilton is sus-
tanned in these rulings by that element
of racegoers who believe In a square
deal throughout.
Boots" Durnells luck followed him
to Oakland. He shipped Orchan and
! Sir Wilfred to the northern track along
with Dr. Leggo, which he had stabbed
with his horses at Ascot park since c.
9. McCafferty sent the high-class per-
former south to prepare for this stake
Boots went north with the horses
few days ago and left the tip behind
that Dr. Leggo was a pipe" to wir
the Burns handicap. DIR. Leggo did
what was expected of him and BOOTS
undoubtedly cashed a ticket of sufff-
cient dimensions to enable him to have
4 good time for a few days. In add,
ton, his Orchan and Sir Wilfred wor
their races. Altogether, Durnell had a
real enjoyable trip to the frozen north
and will come back to Ascot this week
