HANDICAP IS
ASCOT FEATURE
HIGH CLASS FIELDS SPORT
SILK TODAY
s. M. Williams Continues to Lead the
Winning Owners Llst-Borel Tops
Jockeys With Three Firsts
In Four Mounts
By jay Davidson

exciting contests are to be expected
In each.
The feature race today will be the
fourth on the card, a free handicap
sprint at six furlongs, and the sprinting
division is represented in the entries
by Don Domo, Fireball Alencon In
cantatioh, Councilman, Fustian, Roy
croft and Capitanazo.
Secretary Jasper has been doing out
some weighty packages to the gray
ghost. Don Domo, in all his recent
starts and once more the always-striv-
ing Rancocas geldlng seems to be pro-
hibited from running by reason of the
great weight assigned him.
The Williams entry, Alencon and
Fireball, is q formidable bidder for the
long end of the purse and whichever
beats them will get the verdict.
1t seems that 1t is up to Boots
Durnell to snatch seeming victory from
the Williams entry by sending Incan-
tation after the coin. Incarnation is
good just now and is right. on edge.
Councilman, Fustian, Roycroft and
Capitanazo will not be of much conse-
quence in here and if either of them
gets in the money it will be by acct
dent.
The formful running of the entries
will occasion the following result: In
cantation, Alencon, Fireball.
Almost equally as attra active as the
handicap is the Offering for the third
race, which is at one mile, and five
starters are named to go to the post.
The quintet is OH a par. one with the
other and this contest will be a splendid
exhibition of "hoss" racing before the
wire is reached and the winner Is
adjudged.
Cutter has shown an ability to go
mile in 1:40 over the Ascot track and
this VIII win today, but there are about
fou~ others in this race that can hover
around this same time mark.
Gilpin is about as speedy a s the Dur
nell filly and equally as game. Both
are quick breakers and accustomed TO
answering hurry-up calls in the early
stages.
Firm Foot and Varieties are classy
equines and have pasts that will not
justify any too great liberties in the
running line. Lacene is also speedy AMI
game and will be hard to beat.
Secretary Jasper has done himself
proud in the handicappng line here and
about as good guess as to the result
as any will be Firm Foot, Varieties,
Gilpin.
Myrtle D May Win
Boots" Durnell seems to have
chance at more than one race today
and may cut in with the first race by
oSiloillt3 4hy IIlG ~ llOllle llISl.
Myrtle is a bullet and if she gets
away from the post she will be hard to
beat for the money.
Josie's Jewel will go we'll here and
should be in the money If ready to run
her race.
Pinta, Neatness and. Rezia have
chances to earn brackets in this com
pany and either may turn the trick.
If the usual long shot does not come
thrn11c6 in thic hn cho
be Myrtle D, Neatness, Pinta.
Anything in the second race has
license to win, and as the field is large
and the distance brief the start will
play an important part in the result.
Moncie Mable seems to have an edge
on the others on her only race at Ascot
this season, and she may get the ver-
dict here.
Carrick appears to be the best of the
others and should beat out Search Me
for the place.
All the others have been perpetual
good things, and one of them may
come through, but the probabilities are
that the end will be Moncie Mable
Carrick, Search Me.
The fifth race seems to be a toss-up
between Sun Mark and Hoodwnk for
first money, and as both are in their
best condition just now it would not
alone in the final strides.
Miss Betty, Red Light and Red Dam
sci will be likely candidates, but the
best that should be expected of them
is for one of them to finish in the show
position.
The result may be Sun Mark, Hood
wink Miss Betty
Lady Kispar is the one they will all
have to beat to the wire in the last
ic al ,O1,,
leave the post but if she gets away
today she should win all the way
Golden Buck is sure to be the con
tender and Rubiana will not be far
away when the money is counted.
The result should be Lady Kispar,
Golden Buck, Rubiana.
