ner II she had all other odds In hei
favor.
The Oaks should he won by the ~
Rio entry, with the James entry sec.
ond and Orilene third
Vino Should Win
The first race will bring together
the most classy field that has evei
raced in this event Thirteen are card.
ed to start, but this number will be
lessoned, probably, by scratches.
Vino has had long rest and Is In
| light. with only 100 pounds up he
should win all the way.
Bert Arthur has a world OF early
speed, but was short last out. He will
do better today and should be the con.
tender.
Dutiful may not 60 to the post, but II
he does he should be I'm the money. The
gray horse has a stout heart and plen-
ty of speed.
The result should be Vino, Bert Ar.
thur, Dutiful.
The second race should result In nm
other victory for Gentle Harry. This
one is ready now to race to his best
form and the ease by which he won his
last out stamps him as n good one.
Nine Spot Is dangerous at the
weights and should be the contender
all the way. This one is Just round
ing-to and is able to go the distance
Graphite Is third best and should
land in this position without any great
difficulty
This race should result Gentle Harry
Nine Spot Graphite.
Five are named to go in the handi-
cap, which Is third on the card, and
all are horses of some ability in the
running line.
DR.. Leggo Is the class of the race and
despite his top weight should be the
winner. Usually, this one can win on
any sort of a track, but did not run
his race in the Santa Anita handican
and should do better today.
Gilpin will be thereabouts all the
way, and track conditions will not
bother him to any extent.
Preservator to show is a moral. and
with least weight up should be one
of the first three all the way.
This event should result DR.. Leggo
Gilpin, Preservator.
Sir WiIfred Is Good
The fifth race is a purse affair at
five furlongs, and eight starters will
face the barrier.
Sir 'Wilfred is so much the best OF
this field that he should be 1 to 80 to
win. He should always be in front and
The distance and weights will exactly
fit the likings Of Don Domo. and the
gray ghost should beat Fireball for the
place. The others are outclassed.
The end should be as follows: Sir
Wilfred, Don Domo, F'ireball.
Silver Wedding appears to be the
best of the field in the final race of
the day and should win without much
difficulty If she runs back to her last
race a faw days ago.
Hector should be the contender and
should beat FoXhall for the place, al
though the latter may get away nice
~ and be dangerous ever afterward.
1t may be that the finish will be
Silver Wedding, Hector, Foxhall
Jockey Buchanan left yesterday for
Oakland and will ride Jake Sanders in
the stake to be run off at the northern
track today.
J. ]. McCafferty bid up Harbor from
$500 to $12O5 after the fifth race, but S.
NJ. Williams protected his horse and
retained ownership.
The average attendance has been
steadily increasing since New Years
and despite the inclement weather of
the last few days the average for the
NSCh 10 SlOSC W OuVo ddlly.
J. ]. McCafferty sold DutifuI to
Denny Bros. yesterday. McCafferty
secured the gray horse out of a selling
race Friday after he beat Chickadee
and netted more than the difference in
the purse money lost by Chicadee.
Dewey makes his season debut at
Ascot in the first race and carries top
-ni oil
a good handicap horse and was highly
valued by Barney Schrieber, who bred
and trained the son of Old Sain at
WoodlaWn.
It's real raw day when S. NJ Will
Jams fails to win at least one race.
This demonstrates tho value of condi-
tiOn and it is seldom that any of the
Williams horses go to the post without
winning. Harbor brought in the daily
purse yesterday.
Motto spreadeagled his field in the
jumping race and was always in the
lead by from five to fifteen lengths
The light weight was one cause for the
improvement in this horse while high
weights held back the others. Motto
was not played to any extent, going uI
in the market from IS on opening tC
IS at post time.
There is not a "dog" race on tn,
card today and every contest will bt
worth witnessing. In addition to tn,
running Of the Ascot Oaks, the weekl1
classic. two purse and two selling races
and a handicap are carded. The field
are unusually good and with the pros
poets of good track the sport shoulC
be on a par with that of any day o
the meeting.
Jockey Hudlin was set down for twi
weeks by the judges after he won tn
