LIKE WINNER

Two races on today's card at Ascot
will claim especial attention and divide
the honors of feature events. These
are the third and fifth races.
The third race is at five and one-half
furlongs and a small field Of half
dozen speed marvels will face the bar
rier.
DIR. Hollis is preferred to win because
OF light weight and some semblance of
class.
Betsy is easily second best and 1t is
to be mooted il she is not really the
winner of this race. She will give the
winner the hardest kind of a race be-
fore the wire is reached.
Hester w is one of the speediest
tricks shown at Ascot this season, but
she is of faint heart and will quit
when caught. She will be caught to-
day before she goes three-eighths.
Valencia is also in light, but will
hardly do here. Dawsonian has nothing
in the past to recommend him in this
company.
Therefore, it should be about like this
at the wire: DIR. Hollis, Betsy Hester
w.
The fifth race is at one mile and fifty
yards and the class of this field is good.
Chalk Hedrick is in his best form
now and will revel under the light i'm
post of 96 pounds. With Swain UP he
can hardly lose.
The Gadfly will og some and is ready
to run winning races just now. North
vile will also travel in this company,
as will Stoessel.
However, the probabilities are: Chalk
Hedrick, The Gadfly, Worthwhile.
Babes Open Card
The babes will begin the argument
with a four furlong dash and seven
maidens will face the barrier for the
first time.
Maidens have been known to win on
first starts, but it is an improbability
that anything of this sort will happen
today. However, it may.
Early Flower is best on form and
should win brackets from this field with
the usual stretch drive for which the
juveniles have become famous.
HI. Z. Griffin has a surprisingly good
stable of youngsters and he should be
second with one of his entry
Lady's Beauty ought to get the show
money, but one of the maiden starters
may split the first three proba abilities.
on form the end should be Early
Flower, The Griffin entry, Lady's
Beauty.
Tom Riley is long overdue and should
about cop the gold in the second race.
This is at one and one-sixteenth miles
and the class of the field is not dis
tinguishable.
Tom Riley will have st. Wilda to beat.
but should accomplish the trick, al
though the sanity racer should get
the place.
Dancing Kid Jr for the show seems
to be about the proper place to put
this one.
The field is an uncertain one and
evenly balanced as to class and form,
of which there is neither.
The finish should be Tom Riley, st.
Vida, Dancing Kid Jr.
Miss Betty May Win
The fourth race is at one and one
sixteenth miles, and Miss Betty is
about the only one of the fourteen en-
tries that appears to have any license
TO win anything.
Golden Green has been a good thing
lcng enough and should at least get
IN the money in this company or be
turned out to pasture in some unlimited
area of alfalfa.
Pachuca has been in the money with
better ones than will be in here today.
and should repeat the operation.
The end will be Miss Betty, Golden
Green, Pachuca.
Evelyn Griffin should win the final
race on the card. This event is at six
furlongs, which is her distance. and
she is in light and has some class.
Lady King for the place is a likely
proposition and Mohur should get the
show.
The result may be Evelyn Griffin.
Lady King, Mohur.
George J. Long, who has a stable
of good ones at Ascot, is expected to ar
rive in Los Angeles today. Long is
one of the proprietors of the famous
Bashford Manor near Louisville and is
a leading horseman of America. He is
coming to Los Angeles to remain until
after the Ascot season closes.
Eugenia Burch will be back at Ascot
this week and is said to be a certain
starter in the Ascot handicap to be run
Saturday.
Los Angeles horses and Los Angeles
Jockeys were prominent in the results
at Emeryville Saturday. Jockey Miller
rode Fireball to victory for the Will
liams stable and Jockey Prior piloted
Orchan under the wire ahead of his
