FROM FAVoRITE

Is Disqualified for Foulins Piquet.
oriIene Wins Feature
Event
BY Jay Davidson

cially in the baby races, two having
week. Lady's Beauty turned the trick
yesterday.
AL Goodin, he of the rotund and en-
thusiastic features, owns Lady's S
Beauty and he was so certain that she
was not a legitimate 100 to 1 shot that
he put place and show wager on her
chances and won enough money to
take his small, but select, string to
the iungles after the end of the Ascot
season.
This race was maiden affair at
four and one-half furlongs and Joan of
Arc, which was beaten by Entire Nous,
another 100 to l shot, Friday, was again
favorite yesterday
Ladys Beauty opened at 15s, but the
public was so dazzled by the seeming
walk-over that Joan of Arc was be-
1eved to have ahead of her that no
attention was given to the temptation
of Is to / OH Ladys Beauty and the
price scared to 100 to 1 a few minutes
before post time.
Almost Immediately after the bar
rier was sprung Joan of Arc was
knocked into the rail and fell throw
ing Jockey Kent and despoiling her

Lady's Beauty was second away from
the post and Jockey Nichols hustled
her every step of the way to the wire.
AS the field turned into the stretch
Jady's Beauty had a lead of one
length and in the drive to the wire
she was good enough to increase this
lead to two lengths at the end.
Ponemah closed stoutly and secured
the place from Yellow Top, which was
also held at 100 to l and was heavily
played to run third
Winner Disqualified
Col. Bronston, which was heavily
played to win the fifth race. and Pi-
uuet, a 20 to 1 shot, fought out a fierce
duel through the stretch and the latter
seemed to be slowly wearing down Col.
Bronston when nearing the sixteenth
pole
At this point Col. Bronston swerved
and bumped against Piquet, knocking
her against the rail and forcing Jockey
Grand to pull up to prevent his mount
falling. Col Bronston continued on to
the wire and won by four lengths, with
Piquet second and Ruckey third.
After placing the numbers up indi-
eating the first three horses under the
wire, the judges took them down and,
after disqualifying the winner, placed
Piquet first, Rockey second and Belasco
third.
The foul was committed in front of
the grandstand and was so evident that
no one could question the decision of
the judges. although Jockey Mcdaniel
explained to the judges that he was
unable to prevent his mount from
swerving, while admitting the foul. No
blame was attached to the jockey.
The major was the class of the second
race and won under wraps. He was
always the favorite and after turning
into the stretch never left a doubt as
to the result. At the wire he was four
lengths ahead of Prince Ching, which
finished second, six lengths in front of
Phyz, which ran a remarkable race
from poor beginning
Ell Donoso took up the running imnle-
diately after the start and held it until
turning into the stretch, where The
Major relieved him. FL Donoso faded
away as a bad dream and quit faster
than ever did Smithy Kane, finishing
eighth.
OrIene Canters
The feature event of yesterdays card
was the third race, a futurity course
dash for a purse. Daruma, the speed
lest filly shown at this meeting. was
scratched out of this race and left
Orilene standing out as a l to 200 shot.
DIR. Hollis took up the early running
and set sizzling pace to the eighth
pole, where Orilene Overhauled him and
passed him as If he was motionless
and in the run to the wire the Curl
filly was eased down to a lead of four
and one-half lengths.
Dr. Hollis was easily second best and
had no difficulty in standing off the
challenge of Bribery, which was third.
Two Bills made his initial appear
Rnce at Ascot, but was hardly up to
gruelling race and after running prom
inently to the paddock gate quit to
nothing and finished next to last.
Willie Gregg opened as favorite for
the fourth race, but inattention on the
part of the speculating public and a
corresponding cordiality regarding In
spector Halpin and Bonnie Reg caused
a switch in the odds. allowing the latter
two to go to the post as equal choices.
Willie Gregg was first to leave the
post. but Bonnie nabbed him in few
strides and after once assuming the
lead she refused to let go, and when
she went under the wire she was two
lengths ahead Of Hilona, which was
head in front of Moncie Mable, which
finished in the show position.
Smithy Kane amused the populace
with another of his championship
stunts at quitting in the sixth race,
and after leading his field to the pad
dock gate he became motionless and
was next to last in nine-horse field
at the wire.
Ell Verraco won by the narrow mar
gin of half a length, beating out Happy
Chappy and Foncasta.
Handicap Today
Although five selling races are on the
card today, Ascot patrons will witness
some of the best contests of the meet
ing, as the selling affairs are unusually
we'll filled with small fields of classy
racers that have some past as re-
CARDS form.
The feature of the card will be the
handicap, fourth on the program and
Eugenia Burch is asked to tote top
weight, 112 pounds, which is as a
feather to this great mare. However,
she has not been out in several weeks
and has been disappointment all sea-
son. If she performs to her ordinary
efforts today she may win, but it is
problematical whether she will do so.
Porbably not.
Morita, the speedy Brutus filly which
has shown great form in all her starts,
is in with a small package of 100 pounds
