barns for all the good they will accom-
plish.
This result should be Capable, Mau-
ser, Cotillion.
Morita has an excellent chance Of
winning her first out today and at a
good price, as she is one OF the speed
lest fillies at Ascot and has shown
nicely in her workouts.
The Gadfy has shown improved form
since his vacation and is fit and ready
to run. He will be favorite in this
bunch, but should be false favorite at
that.
La Ionde is freshened up a bit and Is
now ready to run to her best form. II
she performs as nicely today as on her
last out she should be in the money.
The end should be Morita, The Cad
4 fly, la Jonde.
Big Ben Again
The fourth race will be the feature
event because II brings together FIVE Of
the best sprinters on the coast and the
prospects for q real "hoss" race are
glittering.
Big Ben is a real race horse and can
carry 14O pounds and beat anything in
this bunch at this distance when he Is
right He Is right now.
Big Ben so far outclasses this field
that he could be left at the post and
win. The only element of doubt at
| taching to this race is whether Big Ben
viii be jammed again and put over
the fence entirely or be allowed to run
his real race
Lacene has light weight up and has
the distinction Of beating Big Ben the
day he was twice rammed into the
fence, but she will never remember re-
peating this operation today.
Don Domo may not like the distance,
but he will like the weights and will go
nicely because of this advantage.
Cutter is a fair fllly with ordinary
platers, but Is outclassed in this bunch
The result should be Big Ben by half
mile, Don Domo. Lacene.
Elizabeth F. will go like a bullet in
her field In the fifth race, but may be
she won't be good enough even with
this advantage.
Dutiful, Chickadee, Viona, Hot, Hood
wink, File dor, La Torteza, Courant,
Precious, Lille B. and Rubinon are not
to be considered.
This leaves the race between Eliza
beth F., Dollle Weithoff and Del Coro-
nado.
The finish should be Elizabeth f., Del
Coronado, Dollie Weithoff.
On his Frisco form, Masedo should
win from Money Muss and Confessor.
However, the Missourians must be
shown regarding this.
Money Muss will travel the Futurity
course in fast time and the small item
of 116 pounds will have no appreciable
effect on him.
Confessor is good now and should be
the contender all the way. Bell Reed
has been a good thing for so long that
she should not disappoint the show
money following
The end may be: Money Muss, Con-
feSsor, Bell Reed
Jockey Preston broke his seasons
record yesterday by winning two
races. He had the mount on Stoessel
and Moncie Mable and brought them
both home to the great delight of
multitude of form players. Kent, Nc
Daniel, Moriarity and Aubuchon also
rode winners.
Stoessel was bid UP 5000 over his
entered price of $1,000 after winning
the fifth race yesterday. Pete VIII
llams, acting for S. M. Williams, start
ed the fuss" by boosting the winner
800 and Trainer Knapp added to Will
liam Walkers troubles by increasing
the bid another 500. Walker protected
his winner by adding So extra.
Rebellious Susan is no longer Re-
bellious Susan, or else the form charts
are all wrong. Prosperity, which goes
today in the first race, is said to be
the same as Rebellious Susan and ran
by mistake. Alice samee, something
doing. Rebellious Susan couldn't win
the first race today. hence the apology
is unnecessary. However, what's
wrong?
The bookes were hard hit yesterday
on the wins of Handmaiden, Moncie |
Mable and Stoessel and they also lost |
heavily on the place and show jabs
on Pachuca. These all figured to win
and the long prices laid against them,
with the exception of Handmaiden, |
were fase prices. The books lost heav-
lily on the day and the public made
cleanup.
Eugenia Burch arrived yesterday
from Emeryville and will remain at |
Ascot until Mrs Curtis decides to ship
her stable east. This great mare
showed poorly and considerably less
than her form implied for her in the |
Burns handicap, but is yet the star
of the coast handicap division She |
will be in the Ascot handicap Saturday
and, despite her poor showing at the |
northern track, will be favorite to win |
this classic.
Jockey Preston was fined $50 for
"scrouging" with Moncie Mable in the |
Preston entered into competition with |
several other jockeys in the scramble |
for position after the barrier was
sprung, but as Moncie rushed out of
the bunch and was thereafter in no
trouble, the judges assessed only $50
against the little rider, inasmuch as |
the incident did not really affect the
result The fine is in the shape of
moral for the rider and does not re-
fleet upon the result
Silver Wedding. from Joe James
barns, and Ila, from the El Rio stable, |
were shipped north last night to par
ticipate in the California Oaks, to be |
run at Emeryville next Saturday. |
From the accomplishments of Los An
geles horses at the frozen course of
the north, either of these good ones
may be expected to win the weekly !
stake event at Emeryville and occasion |
no surprise thereby. 1t is to be hoped |
that one of them will walk away with
the rich prize and continue the sue
cesses of Ascot horses on the northern
track.
