TIMBER-ToPPERS TO TRY FOR
JUMPING HoNoRS
Large Fields and Heavy Track De.

BY Jay Davidson

udy CLASS anu IIle StttpltCHdSt uduul'
cap will be the feature event, although
it is probable that more genuine in
terest will attach to the fourth race, a
purse affair at one mile. in which hall
dozen of the best platers at the track
will be seen.
Six starters are nameed for the jump
ing race, and Decmo, which won his
last out, is assigned top weight with an
impost of 15S pounds.
With the shift in weights it seems
improbable that Cazador will be beaten.
This one is in light and is reliable
fencer and speedy on the fiat.
Allegiance appears to be second best
and should beat out Decimo for the
place. Adams will not carry weight,
Tizen is an unknown quantity and
Lady Usk dislikes the game and may
again refuse the first hurdle
These conditions encourage the belief
that the result will be Cazador, AL
legiance, Decimo.
Gipin is given top weight in the
purse race and is asked to tote a pack
age of 110 pounds. This may be too
much weight for the speedy Juvenal
colt. especially I'M this going, but he is
rather fond of mud and likes to spread
eagle his fields.
Elizabeth r. which has a license to
beat the majority of them when lightly
handicapped and which has shown a
particularly fancy for slop as well as
the dry going, appears the best of this
small field and should repeat her romp-
ing exhibition of last week. when she
beat The Huguenot and Wyefield in
the mud.
Retropaw is also in light and will
not be much aYerse to trying for oats
even II the track is heavy and slick. j.
+ Donohue appears to be third best
and may finish in this position.
The result should be Elizabeth f,
Retropaw. J. f. Donohue.
Fourteen starters may go to the post
in the second event, futurity course
dash for selling platers owing to the
large field the class of the entries and
the probable heavy track, the start will
play an important part IN the result.
Whichever is first away from the post
should win.
El Donoso is great mud lark and
should be favorite to win This one is
rated bear in the slop.
Pettijohn is weak-limbed and hank
ers after soft going. He has some
speed and should he the contender.
with fair chance of getting to the
front before the end
Radium wins so seldom that third
place is as good as should be expected
Of her, but she is first, last and all
the time n mudder If she can win
in this company it must he today.
There is not much in this race, but
the proba bilities are that the result
will be Ell DonOso, Pettiiohn, Radium.
ST. Winifrede Is Due
The fourth race is another futurity
course dash. with a field of fourteen
probable starters.
On the form of her race against
Judge Denton Saturday, St. Winifrede
should tin can to the wire. If she
can run back to this race there will
be nothing to it but her all the way.
Marlborough is the one to give the
winner an argument and S he is a
quick breaker and has a great burst
of early speed he should last to get
the place.
Prince Magnet is a fair performer
in the slop and should he third. Long
shots have a great chance here, how
ever, and surprises are due.
The official result may be st. Wini-
frede Marlborough, Prince Magnet.
The fifth race is over a journey of
one and one-sixteentlf miles and is a
difficult proposition as there is but
slight form to any of the entries.
Lucian seems to he the best of
to win set of brackets at a fair
price.
Chickadee will like the distance and
is especially good in the mud. The
light impost will encourage this one
to try for first money and the effort
may not be in vain.
The Borgian will also go we'll today
and should experience but slight diff
Guilty in running in the money.
Weight, distance and going all ope-
rate against the chances of Dutiful,
and if this one starts he should finish
last. Mauser has won some of his
best races in the mud and likes the
slop as a pig fancies the same dish.
Wyefeld. Kingstele and Red Light
are fair performers In this sort of go
ing and may be more or less important
factors i'm the finals.
1t may end as follows: Lucian,
Chickadee, The Borgian.
If Judge Denton starts back today
in the sixth race he should win all
out by himself.
Golden Buck will admire the mud
and travel second best with a fair
chance of landing in this position, but
no better.
Parvo wants longer route and
would have better chance if the dis
tance was seven furlongs or a mile
instead OF three-quarterS.
The end should come i'm this order:
Judge Denton, Golden Buck, Parvo.
