day. Although the fields were not re-
duced very much by scratches, the win
ner Of each race won with something
to spare. The public prof1ted on the
day as two favorites, three second
choices and one to 1 shot won. In all
races the winner was backed
In the steeplechase Atlantico I'M
seated his rider at the fourth Jump
and ran with the field. After the finish
Atlantico kept on and somebody at
tempted to stop him at the gap to the
stables, which made the horse run into
the fence and break his leg. The horse
was taken off the track and his misery
put to an and.
The steeplechase was won by Caza-
dor, which made it four straight. He
took the lead at the start and was
never headed, to win easily.
DR.. Logan was second all the way
though several times interfered with
by the riderless horse, Atlantico, and
William Parrish Tom Cogan was
very sore going to the post and could
not get UP q gallop. Parrish fell at the
third jump. Both riders escaped I'M
hurt.
The public backed Uncle Henry into
favorltism for the second race. A wise
bunch set it in on Euripides at 10 to
and to 1. The amounts were so small
and although bunch was bet it did not
affect the market Search Me went
back from 3 to to Az to 1, and Mort
lake at was backed from to 1 to
to /. There was some humping on the
first turn by which Uncle Henry suf-
fered most. Euripides was clear of in
reference and led all the way, though
Mcdaniel would not take any chances
and rode the horse out. This was Me-
Daniels first winner this season at AS
cot and he received quite an ovation
q xrrffh
whom "Puddin" is quite a favorite.
Search Me came on when Mortlake
quit and was second easily. Uncle
Henry. after he got bumped, refused
to extend himself. Golden Light and
Phyz were always outrun.
What was supposed to be the biggest
clean up of the season was Lord STAN
hope in the third race. This one worked
five furlongs in 1:02, but it leaked out
somehow or another and to 1 was to
be had. When the prices were posted
there was rush to get on and the colt
went in so strong and steady that even
money was the best to be had at that
time.
Hazeline closed at to 1, and Little
Minister was backed to to 1 after to
l was to be had. The others ranged
from Is to 60 to 1. When it came to
racing it was Lord Stanhope from flag
fall until the wire, never leaving the
through the bunch and was second
easily. Little Minister finished with a
rush. Joan of Arc and Troiland
showed speed, but both quit when the
pinch came.
GorgaIette Wins
Gorgalette and Piquet carried the
bulk of money in the fourth race, as
many figured they had a pull in the
weights. Gorgalette was backed from
n = n and Pin11nt A fn TO
Macy Jr. carried stable commission
across the board. The others were nib
bled at only.
Piquet shot out to the front with Su-
preme Court a length away. They ran
in this order until the three eighths
pole when Gorgalette came with a rush
TO win easily. Macy Jr. found an open
ing and came very fast, but was not
good enough Stilicho, ridden all over
the track in the stretch outgamed Su-
preme Court for the show money. Pr
quet stopped to walk. Donohue
wants a muddy or heavy track
bob" Smith put over another WIN
ner when Red Garter won the fifth
race. The colt was backed from to 8
to even money and never caused his
hackers one moment of uneasiness, as
he took the lead the first quarter and
won galloping. Illusion was as easily
second best. Edwin T. Fryer about
showed early speed.
Right and True, served up as the good
thing in the sixth race, was backed
from to to even money. There was
some play for Don Domo and after the
price reached 8 to he was backed to
to 2 at post time. The others were not
considered, though there was some
show betting on La Chata and Atoka.
Right and True was off flying with
La Chata. They raced head and head
until the stretch and when Preston
brought Don Domo up it looked as
though the rest of the field was backing
up. The gray ghost won in a romp.
Right and True outgamed La Chata in
fierce squirt all the last sixteenth for
the place honors. Critic was running
all over horses at the end and in a few
strides would have been second. The
others showed nothing worthy of men
ton.
H. T. Griffin, accompanied by Jockey
Horner, arrived yesterday from New
York. Griffin has eleven yearlings
quartered at the track in care of w. P.
Maxwell Jockey Horner made quite a
reputation on the tracks around New
York last summer and will be seen in
the saddle at the local course this sea-
son.

schooling Sunday morning he fell and
broke his shoulder. Marylander was
fourteen years old and in all his races
over the jumps never met with a mis-
hap.

for three days after he fell from Six
full two weeks ago today, was at the
track yester Law morning galloping
horses. He will again he seen in the
saddle by the end of this week.
