ed to start, but this number will be
lessoned, probably by scratches.
Vino has had a long rest and is in
| light. With only 100 pounds up he
should win all the way
Bert Arthur has a world Of early
speed, but was short last out. He will
do better today and should be the con-

land in this position without any great
difficulty.

Nine Spot, Graphite.
Five are named to go in the handi-
cap, which is third on the card and
all are horses of some ability in the
running line.
DR.. Leggo is the class Of the race and
despite his top weight should be the
winner Usually, this one can win on
any sort of a track, but did not run
his race in the Santa Anita handicap
and should do better today.
Gilpin will be thereabouts all the
way and track conditions will not
bother him to any extent.
Preservator to show is a moral, and
with least weight up should be one
of the first three all the way.
This event should result DR.. Leggo
Gilpin, Preservation.
Sir WiIfred Is Good
The fifth race is purse affair at
five furlongs, and eight starters will
face the barrier.
Sir Wilfred is so much the best Of
this field that he should be l to 80 to
win, He should always be in front and
win without being extended
The distance and weights will exactly
fit the lilttngs of Don Domo. and the
gray ghost should beat Fireball for the
place. The others are outclassed.
The end should be as follows: Sir
Wilfred, Don Domo, Fireball
Silver Wedding appears to be the
best of the field in the final race of
the day and should win without much
if she runs back to her last
race faw days ago.
Hector should be the contender and
should beat FoXhal for the place. al
though the latter may get away nice
ly and be dangerous ever afterward.
1t may be that the finish will be
Silver Wedding, Hector, Foxhall.
Jockey Buchanan left yesterday for
Oakland and will ride Jake Sanders in
