JOCKEY M'DANIEL ARRIVES IN
LOS ANGELES
Three Favorltes and Well Played
Second Choice Again
Come Under the
Wire
NY IRVING u. CLEMENT

A large crowd was at Ascot to bat
tie with the bookies yesterday and
enjoy a good afternoons sport, as the
| finish in three races was so close that
the public did not know what horse
won until the numbers were put UP.
Three favorites a heavily backed
second choice and two to l shots
were returned winners. The book
makers left good deal of their money
with the public.
Ten maidens faced Starter Hoffman
for the first race. They were a very
unrully lot at the barrier, but got off
well. Mohur took the lead at once,
closely followed by Lisbia and Vandola.
At the quarter pole Mohur stopped to
a walk and Lisbia looked an easy win
ner when Toller, which was well ridden
! by Keogh, outgamed Lisbia Boland,
on the latter, was doing his best, but
the horse stopped under him.
VeritaS Vincit came from far back
and would have won in few more
jumps.
Halton was whispered all over the
track as good thing. When the
bookies chalked up 6 to 1 for a minute
there was a wild rush to place the
money. Very few got on at that price.
Four to was then offered, and al
though a lot of money was bet on
Commida and Montalban, Halton went
to the post second choice at 31R to 1.
Lady Kitty and Dominus Arvi were
practically overlooked in the betting.
To a good start Commida and Halton
left the bunch. In the stretch Commida
had enough and Halton came on to win
easily. Lady Kitty ran a good race
and beat out the 100 to l shot, DominuS
Arvi, a length for place Montalban,
although hard ridden all the way, could
never get up to the leaders. Blue Bot
tie can do better. Quit when whipped.
Cicely was heavily backed to win the
third race and went to the post sec
ond choice. Reservation went from
to to IL to 5, while Young Davis car
ried a small stable commission. Holt
man got them off in a line and Young
Davis and Cicely drew away six lengths
from the field at the three-quarter pole.
The early pace told on them and Ora
torian swung in on the rail, but was
shut out. Then Fischer took him on the
outside and made his run. Fifty yards
from the wire he came like a cyclone
and just got up in time to win by a
short head. Cicely outgamed Young
Davis by a head for show honors.
Overconfidence on Boland's part
caused the defeat of Col. Jack, the IA
vorite for the fourth race. Black Mate
made all the running until the six
teenth pole, when challenged by Col.
Jack. The latter was length to the
good then and Boland was taking mat
ters rather easily, but Preston hunched
his mount and got Black Mate going
again to beat Col. Jack a nose under
the WIRE Jersey Lady, away poorly,
would have been closeup with an even
break.
Betsy, at the nice, juicy odds of to
/, went to the post the favorite. Retro
paw was second choice at 312 to l, and
Taylor George, after being backed
from 80 to 1 to to 1, was third choice.
With the exception of Jack Adams the
others attracted very little attention.
Bauble went to he front with Betsy
at his heels. They ran in this order
until the stretch, when Betsy went to
the front to win easily from Bauble.
Prince Ching. poorly handled, came
from away back and would have been
second in a few more strides. Taylor
George ran like a duck.
Los Angeleno was the even money
faVorite for the sixth race. He looked
to outclass his field and was backed to
7 to TO- The others were only nibbled
at for place and show. Salina, ridden
by Harris, went to the front and was
never headed, to win handily from Los
Angeleno. Van Hope outgamed Free
sias for show money. The others We're
never in the hunt
Jolly "Puddin" Mcdaniel, accom-
panied by his father, Dave Mcdaniel,
arrived last night from New Orleans.
Mcdaniel will ride for James Blute.
Mcdaniel will probably have the mount
on Treasure Seeker and Aucassin this
afternoon,
r. F. Carman, the multi-millionaire
and president of the New York Horse
Show association, arrived from New
York and is stopping at the Hotel
Green, Pasadena. Mr.. Carman has a
string of horses at Ascot.
