OF the old veteran. Old Mike, which
finished third
Startling, the favorite, won the third
race, barely getting up In time to get
the verdict by a nose from Fairatene,
which closed like a cyclone.
Falratene ran the best race Of the
bunch, coming from last at the first
quarter to a nose finish at the wire,
and brought great gobs of happiness to
the fortunate ones who backed him
across the boards at 30s.
Condo was third, beating out the tir-
ing Lawsonian by head after the lat
ter had led into the stretch.
Condo might have been keen con-
| tender at the end had he not swung
wide In the stretch, going back from
| third place to sixth. In the run home
he made up much of this lost ground,
but could not do any better than third.
Henehnan Beaten
stoessel and Henchman fought out
another one of their famous duels and,
as heretofore, Henchman was beaten.
Henchman ran as II stale, and al
though having a slight advantage in
the final eighth was unable to hold 1t,
and when Stoessel came with his sec
ond rush he galloped over the Bondy
geding, getting the verdict by nose.
BILLY" divers ancient racer, Bril-
gand, ran consistently and finished in
third place, merely because those be-
hind him were not in his class
Dan Collins repeated and easily won
the final event at the juicy price of 8
to 1. Although carrying top weight,
this disadvantage was overcome by the
presence in his saddle Of Jockey Davis,
who is worth twenty-five pounds to
his mounts.
Bonnie Reg, making his first start of
the meeting, was played into favorit-
ism, but could not deliver the goods,
although leading into the stretch by
a length In the run home Regal ran
over him and beat him for the place
by a head.
Huachuca was also heavily played to
win, his price receding from IS to 10
to at post time, but the Jones candi-
date could not get in the money, fin
position to the stretch
Regal ran the best race of the bunch
and came from tenth place at the first
quarter to a driving finish with the
winner. The effort at getting up used
up all his steam, however, and he could
not last to beat Dan Collins, which
passed him in the final strides.
Derby Is Feature
The feature of the card for today is
the Derby, which is to be run over the
| Brooks course. OF the original seven
| ty-seven nominees to this event, sixty
eight were declared out, leaving nine
starters.
The field is classy one and the
weight arrangement lends added diff

races over shorter distances.
Boots Durnell has coupled Vino and
Sir Wllfred as his entry and on form
seems to have the race won. Vino is
in splendid condition to do his best
which is rs good as mile in less thar
1:40, and has been especially prepped
for this event.
Sir Wilfred is the speedest trick
shown at Ascot this season, is a elias ssh
and valuable colt and If he can go q
route seems to be the probable winner
However, he may set a killing pace
for part of the journey and allow his
stable mate to wade in and win.
| Charley Is another high class coli
that has some pretensions. but has
never been sent over distance OF
ground and has been out but three
times since September. If this one hat

thing to encourage the belief that h,
can go the route, he would be the picl
to win, but all these essentials are lack
ing.
Ramus is a serious consideration il
this company. This one is far from
being a sprinter. but is a real stake
horse over a distance. The farther hi
is asked to go the better he can per.
form and the prediction to close like
wild fire makes him of necessity a
factor.
Good Luck recently beat Charley al
