and Is easily the class OF the race He
is right on edge and will probably get
to the front at flag fall and stay there,
btreball Is second best and should
have no difficulty In landing I'm this
position. Worthwhile should be third.
Sanfara wants mud and plenty Of it,
which cannot be given today. Betsy
and Skeptic are woefully outclassed.
The end should be Sir Wilfred, Fire
ball. Worthwhile.
The first race Is a selling platers'
chance for oats, and a cheap lot will
face the barrier.
Quindara has been a good thing at
every start and shown nothing. Nine
Spot will run in new colors today,
being James Curtis candidate, and may
not run any better than ordinarily.
File dor will not find the track so
neanly to her liking today as yesterday
and 1t Is probable that she will not
start.
Harbor is about due and should win
from this field if hustled in the early
stages. The weight, however, may
stop this one.
Bthylene Is no weight carrier and Is
lacking i'm courage. Cotillion is an un-
known quantity and may he a surprise.
The result may be Nine Spot, Harbor,
Cotillion.
Lseene May Win
The second race is seven furlongs
sprint, i'm which four of the seven
starters will go to the post with
brackets about their last numbers,
Azora and Orilene want slop and their
weights will stop them.
Mazonia will find today's field rather
more classy than that against which
she raced n few days ago and will
hardly spreadeagle her field today.
Lacene is asked to tote a lot of
weight, but should do it and win hand
lily from this bunch.
Silver Sue is in light and may give
the winner n heap of trouble at the
finish If the race is over fair track.
Mlnna Baker may show, and with
only 102 points up has chance for a
better position.
The guess as to probabilities is that
the result will be Lacene, Silver Sue,
Minna Baker.
There will be real race when the
third event is called Eight fair platers
Of impossible class, yet ordinary stay
ing qualities, will face the barrier.
Graphite has the edge on this field
and should earn another set of
brackets.
The Huguenot is the one Graphite
must beat, and the task will not be an
easy one, as the distance is made to
order for The Huguenot and the weight
will not bother him.
Memories should have no difficulty
in getting show money from the others,
but this one has not shown to good
advantage in the last few starts.
The end may be Graphite The HUI
guenot, Memories
Money Muss is good weight toter
and the package of 115 pounds will not
bother him much.
Susie Christian is partial to soft go
ing and the track may suit her today.
If so. she will be hard to beat and
should be as good as second.
Sheriff Bell seems to be the one to
get the show end of the purse and his
early speed may make him dangerous.
The result will probably be Money
Muss, Susie Christian, Sheriff Bell.
Durbar was run up from $500 to 81. 0OC
after winning the fifth race. William
Walker bid her up and ]. Curl re-
fused to protect her at $1,000.
Weights are due today for the AS
cot Oaks to be run Saturday. Seventy
three nominations have been made and
only ten are regarded as probable
starters. The gross estimated value OF
the stake is $2,4OO.
J. J. McCafferty will be host to party
of friends among the Ascot press boys
on trip to Catalina Sunday. A special
car will convey the party to and from
San Pedro and dinner will be served al
the Metropole Avalon. If the weather
permits, excursions about the island
will be features of the outing. About
twenty couples are expected to compose
the party.
William Walker put over another
good one yesterday when File d'Or
won the third race from Cholk He'd
rick. File dor was backed from los
to 9s and big dent was made in the
bookies' bankrolls by the lucky ones.
