Some good racing sport was wit
messed by those who went to Asco
yesterday. Close finishes in three o.
the races brought the crowd to its fee
shouting for their favorites.
The feature of the afternoon was
fhe fourth race in which such goot
ones as Toupee, w. II. Carey, Tartan
Cigarlighter and Stilicho faced the bar
rier. Toupee was made the favorite
with Cigarlighter second choice. Al
the wise as well as the public money
went on Toupee, who closed at to D.
Off to a good start My Choice tool
fhe lead. closely followed by Tartar
and Cigarlighter. They ran in this
order until the stretch was reached
where Toupee put his nose I'm the front
w. II. Carey Joined the leader and al
through the last sixteenth, with botf
bows driving, the latter just poked his
nose in the front in the fast time OF
/ .24N. a quarter of a second behind the
track record for the distance. StilichC
was the third easily. Tartan and MY
Choice quit badly and can do better
CiSarlighter could not handle his
weight.
Cazador and DR.. Logan finished SC
c.ose in the steeplechase race that the
Judges were the only ones in position
to place them. Cazador lead all the
way until two jumps from the wire
where DIR. Logan forged to the front
The latter looked to be winning easily
but Lewis, who rode CaZador, rode a
stronger finish and just got up in time
to win by head. Tom Cogan was sore
going to the post. 1t was three
horse affair all the way.
A good thing was put over in the
second race. La Gloria, after opening
Al to 1 receded to to 1 and was
backed to 4 to 1, coming home the
easiest kind of winner. Sly Ben was
backed from 21s to l to IL to and
Search Me closed first choice at to l.
La Gloria took the lead and never was
headed. Sly Ben, although hard rid
den. could never get near the winner
lydia Wrouseman was third all the
way. The pace was too much for
Search Me and Linda Rose and they
never could get near the leaders.
Greene was the supposed good thing
in the third race and was backed from
even money to to 5. Louis Fitzgibbon
was second choice at Az to 1 and IL
huston with Talbert in the saddle was
h to 1. Louise Fitzgibbon started to
make a. runaway race of it, but the
early effort told on her and when II
came down to a drive Illusion just
managed to get to win by nose. Tai
bert put up a good ride on the winner
< Greene was always outrun. San Al
yiso saved ground on the turn and got
show moneJ after hard drive al
Through the last sixteenth.
@ Cotillion, with Booker in the saddle
looked the best bet of the day to many
and when even money was put Owe
there was a scramble to bet on th'
Bonsack mare. In a few minutes to
was the best obtainable. Pirate Poll,
went back to 13 to at post time an
Merlingo closed at to 1. There wa
some humping at the first turn ant
Cotillion had to pull up and go around
Merlingo set a fast pace, but Whel
Joined by Pirate Polly quit badly. Co
tillion, nicely rated by Booker, mad'
her move and beat Polly, who was nv
lengths in front of Merlingo. The 9th
ers were never in the hunt.

Foncasta was heavily backed and wen
to the post favorite at 21a to l after

to the front, followed by Prince Mag
net. They raced each other to piece
to the front and Foncasta was the frs

winner at the fifty-yard pole, bu
Prince Ching shot out of the bunch ant
was running all over horses at tn
finish. Prince Magnet just lasted t.

Jockey IIorner, who rode here las
season and around the New Yor
tracks last summer with a great dea
of success, will arrive here Monday an

contract to Jack Joyner and can rid

The judges refused to allow Hardin
to start in the second race becaus
they did not know the horse. Their
were several we'll known horseme
willing to identify the horse, but tn
Judges ordered him scratched.

had his first mount Monday and ha
ridden a winner and several second

has good material with which to max
a good Jockey.
