Vlctors Lead by Such a Margin That
Result is Never In Doubt
From Raise Of the
Barrier

Those who journeyed to Ascot
yesterday found It easy to pick win
ners, as favorites and second choices
divided the card, with the exception
of Redan, which won the first race
after being backed heavily across the
board.
In all the races the winner won by
a big margin and the sport was tame
so far as the victors were concerned.
Sea Sick was a lukewarm favorite
at 2 to 1 after opening at z
to 8. Elizabeth F's price receded
from 2 to ~ to and Rodolfo was
backed from to to / with Harris
in the saddle. Redan's odds reached
10 to / and under a heavy play his
odds were forced to to / at post time
Redan and Elizabeth +. were first
to show out the bunch and had the
race to themselves all the time. When
ready Carroll called on Redan who
responded gamely, to win handily by
two lengths.
Elizabeth F. stopped in the stretch
and easily beat Sea Sick for the show
Rodolfo was practically left at the
post. This one will do next time out.
as he ran a good race.
A new "lxnight Of the pigsl1in" made
his appearance in the second race on
Illusion. Talbert is the boys name
his maiden effort. He got off in front
with the horse, but when collared by
Treasure Seeker the mount quit under
him.
Prolific, ridden by Singleton, was
given q listless ride and can do much
better. Singleton looked for every
pocket he could find to run his horse
into.
Red Garter Wins
Red Garter made a runaway race
of the third. At the good odds 13 to
) this Golden Garter filly took the
lead at once and never left the result
in doubt.
st. Adams ran a cracking good race
from where he got off, but had no
chance to beat the winner. Ramiro
came with rush and beat Prosperity
for show money. Joan of Arc was a
false favorite.
James A. Murray was made a pro-
hibitive favorite at to 5. Slickaway
carried bunch of stable money and
1axer was heavily played for place
and show. To a poor start Slickaway
took the lead, but was passed by
LaChata. LaChata led to the stretch
where Slickaway came on to win cas-
lily from Jas. A. Murray. The latter
is wind broken and did not seem to
like the going. Taxer was third cas-
lily as LaChata quit to a walk in the
stretch. Others at the start had no
chance.
Judge Nelson made his field look
cheap in the fifth race. Kent, who
had the mount, allowed Dulcinea to
make the pace then sent his mount
on to win handily. Dulcinea reveled
in the going, but found the route too
far. The place horses finished so close
that none but the judges could place
them.
Salt and Pepper was second, while
Chas. L. Stone got the short end of
the purses. Four horses finished noses
and heads apart. Livius was heavily
backed, but showed nothing to war
rant it.
cigarIighter the Class
Cigarlighter and Confessor opened
equal favorites for the sixth race. A
heavy play set in until to 10 was the
best to be had on Confessor after s
to was offered.
Cigarlighter went to 13 to when
big bunch was placed on him. fore
ing the odds to to l at post time.
Elfin King, although wind-broken, was
backed down from 10 to to l, while
Succeed, who went to the post sore,
closed at 10 to /.
When 1t came to racing there was
nothing to it but Cigarlighter Booker
wisely allowed Succeed to make the
pace until in the stretch, where Sue
ceed went wide and Cigarlighter fin
ished with a rush to win easily by
five lengths. Confessor was second.
If Succeed had not gone wide on turn
might have been second. Others were
always outrun.
