Toss Up for Winner
It would he safer and probabi
more accurate manner OF making
choice in the first race to flip a coin o
, draw straws, as every entry is on al
equal footing with the others and ha
an equal chance at the long end Of tn
purse.
Kingstelle is rounding to form slowl.
and may be in condition to go out ant
win from this company
Hersain will like the weight. bu
despise the distance and II is probabl
that she will quit after going to tn
stretch In front.
Gondolus Is easily second best in her,
and may be first best and not have AM
wild-eyed claims upon distinction
thereby.
Needful should be no worse thar
third with good racing luck.
There is slight form TO the race, bu
Il may result Kingstelle. Gondolus
Needful.
The firth race is at one and one
eighth miles and nine entries have beer
made.
The lot is an ordinary one and 4
should not be surprising IL Hoodwinls
with only 100 poun 3 up, should be II
front from flag to wire
Golden Green seems To- be second bes
and should be the contender. Blissfu
may go we'll here.
Brigand is fond of the route and will
handle his weight with more ease thar
some OF the others.
Lustig may go we'll for the distance
. H., bar fc fsf lf
chance for S. NJ. Williams to cop an
other purse.
The best guess may be Hoodwink
Golden Green. Brigand.
Betsy has beaten nearly everyone OF
her company In the sixth race and
should come right back today and re-
peat the operation.
Rosador was second to her and
should be equally as good today. Terhli
may be third.

Jockey Booker rode two winners yes
terday, scoring with Antara in the
first race and Dutiful in the second
race. Both these horses were held at
good prices.
Boots" Durnell won nice bet when
Toupee went under the wire in the
lead of the field in the fourth race,
the free handicap at one and one-siX-
teenth miles. He had $500 straight and
place. getting nearly all this sum on
at 6s.
Jockey Preston was handed a S25
fine for cutting across the track in

Three racers, the product of the stud
of Lucky Baldwin. hold many track
records at Ascot. Atlantico holds the
record for the short course steeple-
chase, Cruzados set the record for six
furlongs and Cerro Santa made the six
and one-half furlongs record.
Within the next fortnight several of
the most prominent turfmen and mil
lionaires of the east who are racing
their strings as Ascot will arrive in Los
Angeles to remain until the end of the
season. Among them will be Senator
T. d. Sullivan of New York, John w.
Gates and Col. John Lambert. William
Porter, agent for the late millionaire
turfman, S. s. Brown, is a recent ar
most prominent of eastern bookmakers
1t is expected that all these will be in
Los Angeles before the end of this
week.
The Huguenot earned the distinction
yesterday of being the first fiat run
ner to break track record this season.
and the performance has done away
with the huge joke which has become
a chestnut about the track every time
the name of The Huguenot is men-
toned. The joke consisted in the
Kidding bees between owners,
bookies and the public regarding the
age OF the brother of Henry of Ma
varre. The Huguenot attained his
eleventh birthday with the advent of
the new year and j. J. McCafferty,
who trains for the Weinberg BILE
and races the aged equine aristocrat,
remarked yesterda. that he is con-
WINGED that if the gelding lived a few
more years he would be a world beater,
providing he continued to improve with
& ge with the same proportionate de-
gree that he has shown in the last
month.
In their efforts at securing fair rae
ing for every horse in every race.
Judges Hamilton and Cole have in
Yestigated a report that was made to
them which charged that n clique
among the jockeys had been formed
for the purpose of taking care Of the
contender in races, and a few days
ago Judge Hamilton convened a kan
garoo court in the Jockeys room in the
paddock with certain jockeys as the
defendants and the riders were given
firm and emphatic information as to
what would surely happen TO them if
the eagle eyes of the judges ever de-
tected any evidence Of unfair or rough
riding in races by which a public
faVorite or any OF the horses We're
prevented from winning. In speaking
upon the subject yesterday Judge
Hamilton remarked that he was con-
WINGED that certain riders were in a
combination for the purposes men
toned. but believed he had nipped it
ir the bud and that his conversation"
with the suspects would result in the
abandonment by the boys of their foul
schemes. At any rate, says Judge
Hamilton, evidence that the scheme is
being put into practice will cause the
offender to be ruled off permanently.
