BREAKS TRACK RECORD ON

Beats Big Ben
Rv jay Davidson

Sweet Kitty, from the stable OF j.
A. weinberg and the favorite OF the
score of horses trained by j. j. Nc
Cafferty, broke the track record for
three and one-half furlongs yesterday
and won eased up by three lengths,
easily beating Early Flower and
Horace E.
The time required for Sweet Kitty
to run from the barrier to the wire
was Az seconds, which Is one-quarter
of a second faster than the track rec
ord set by Father Catcham in his
juvenile days.
There never was a moment from the
time Sweet Kitty left the barrier until
she finished under the wire that there
was any doubt of which was TO be the
winner of this race.
Early Flower was easily the best of
the others, and with a great rush I'M
ished three lengths ahead of Horace
j., Barney Schreiber's great mudder.
Cutter was the sensation of the day
and caused II. 3. Wittenberg to open
several bottles, by winning the feature
event from Big Ben, which was greatly
admired by the audience, despite the
fact that the great son of Ben Strome
is purely a sprinter and cannot go
mile In first-class company.
Cutter did not get out to the front
as is usually the case, but was held
back until the race was well under
the Wittenberg filly went out and won
easily in the fastest time of the season
over the Ascot mile course.
Big Ben ran his race for seven fur
longs, but was all out of breath at
that point and gave up to Cutter and
MaSterSon.
Incarnation, always a bad actor at
the post, was heavily played but in
her antics at the barrier managed to
get her hind legs over the fence and
the services of half a hundred men
were required to release her.
Incarnation was not severely injured
by this accident. but was not in con-
dition to run her race and finished
outside the money, whereas she figured
to be 1928
Willie Gregg, which has been a good
thing for sometime, finally won a race
by beating Sheriff Bell and Piquet to
the wire in the opening event.
Search Me surprised every one but
Louie Bonsack when he won the third
race from Patsy Brown and My Sur
prise, the favorite.
Bonsack was not surprised because
he had a bet on his entry, but he did
not really expect his colt to win at
that. Place and show looked good to
him.
Search Me was away nicely and we'll
rated throughout by Jockey Mcdaniel,
winning by four lengths, but Patsy
Brown ran the best race of the bunch.
finishing second from nowhere in the
stretch.
Jockey Wins Race
Swain won the fifth race for Chick
adee because he outrode the other boys.
Chickadee was away nicely, but was
outrun in the early stages and seemed
entirely out of the running when the
field reached the stretch.
Cotillion took command of the run
ming at the stretch turn and seemed all
over winner, but Swain shook up the
Weinberg mare and she unfinished
and outgamed Cotillion and Miss Betty
in the final strides.
1t was a pure case of a jockey win
ming a race, as Swain is entirely to
be credited for the win. The other
boys were derelict in their duty and
overlooked a chance to win and Swain
took advantage of the chance, sliding
between the other two where other boys
would not have taken the chance.
Susie Christian won the final race
from Sun Mark and Sea Sick
Bell Reed was good thing in this
event and was made false favorite
by the wise" bokies but rewarded the
judgment by running next to last.
Sun Mark ran the best race of the
bunch, however, coming from fifth
place in the stretch to second in the
end.
Sea Sick found the pace slightly too
fast and quit disgracefully in the final
strides.
There was very little class to this
race and anything had a right to win,
but Sea Sick was about the only horse
in the running which caused anybody
to go to the cashier after the result
was announced.
New Mown Hays Race
The third race will be the feature Of
today's card and New Mown Hay, if
the Durnell FLY is ready, should have
common. ordinary canter for first
money as she wholly outclasses all
such company as this.
However, the filly has now responded
kindly to training and has not shown
her true form since coming to the
coast and may not run kindly today.
Good Cheer is the best of the others
and unless New Mown Hay decides
to run a winning race the Williams
entry viii get the goods.
Fustian is second best and should
cop the show and. unless New Mown
Hay is ready. should be second.
Retropaw for the final money posi-
tion looks good and should have no diff
ficulty in running 1-2-3
Taking it for granted that New
Mown Hay is not yet up to a race the
result should be Good Cheer, Fustian
RetropaW.
Chieftain looks the best Of the bunch
aggregated in the first race and should
win all the way. Never mind, this one
may not have shown anything, but will
probably be first to the wire today.
Bert Arthur may last long enough to
