together one OF the cIassiest fields that
has ever faced the barrier In the south.
west.
DR.. Leggo, winner Of the Burns han.
dicap at Emeryviile last Saturday, was
shipped to Ascot by G. G. McCanerty
for the express purpose OF capturing
this classic and, despite his high i'm
post. will probably be favorite oveI
Eugenia Burch. which he defeated II
the $4,000 stake in the north last week
on the form displayed by Dr. Leggc
in the Burns handicap he Is the one
the winned must beat for first money
although picking up ten pounds more
weight than he carried on his last out
Jockey Mcbride, who rode Bear
catcher In the match race with Hand
zarra and Cruzados, will pilot the Nc
Cafferty candidate today.
Dr. Leggo Is a high-class horse and
weight does not affect him to any great
extent. However. he was at home on
the northern track and could do better
than Eugenia Burch for that reason.
Today Eugenia will be at home to
DR.. Leggo and. although she ran last
in the Burns handicap while DR.. Leggo
won Il, she should turn the tables today
and get the verdict.
The Curtis mare Is accustomed to
running over the track at Ascot and
she Is a greater performer and pos
sesses more class than does the es-
teemed Doctor. She will be in at her
proper distance and should win the
Ascot handicap providing she is given
a good ride and enjoys fair racing luck,
Wire In showed some class and a
world Of speed when he beat Banker,
Gilpin and Sunray several days ago, but
he is up against It today and will not
gallop over Eugenla Burch nor DIR
Leggo. He will be extremely lucky to
be third, as he Is woefully outclassed.
Banker is improving with every race
and will have the advantage of thir-
teen pounds switch In the weights with
Wire In in the scrap for the short end
of the stake and should get the YER
dict.
Such as Borghesi w. H. Carey, Mar
shal Ney and Hippocrates had as well
stay in the barns, as nothing short of
a miracle will allow them to run In the
money.
The finish in the stake should be
Eugenia Burch, DR.. Leggo, Banker.
Native Son Good
Harry Slower, who has won more
baby races this season than any other
owner on the coast, has his good Ma
tive Son in the first race and should
have no difficulty whatever in winning
with him.
Horace r will be the one that Native
Son must beat and the Schreiber colt
will go to a good mark.
The Griffin entry seems to have a
moral cinch on the show money and
King Of Spades will just about turn
the trick.
The end may be Native Son, Horace
e, Griffin entry.
The second race will bring together
q bum aggregation Of alleged race
horses and an interesting duel is sure
to result, as the distance is over the
Brooks course and few of those en-
tered will have enough stamina left
after going a mile to put up a finish.
Miss Betty has a big edge on every
thing else in against her and should
romp from flag to wire.
Hoodwink has his favorite impost of
100 pounds up and will go like a bullet
in this company.
Brigand is just what his name i'm
plies and should not be considered in
this company. He may run last, which
is more certain than that he will finish
on the other end Of the procession.
Golden Green is in with a feather
on his back and should tickle Frank
Regan by running in the money.
Mr.. Farnum has some pretensions or
form, If anything In the race has any
such thing as form, and may be a sur
prise party.
However, the end may be Miss Betty,
Hoodwink, Golden Green.
ciceIy May Repeat
Eight good sprinters will face the
barrier in the third race and the Kirk
field stable has it's good imported filly,
Cicely, in at light weight, which gives
encouragement to the proba ability of
this one beating out All contenders and
repeating her easy win of several days
ago,
Masedo, the sensational runner which
beat Money Muss several days ago, will
be the one for the English f1lly to beat.
Money Muss will surely be as good as
third and has royal chance to beat
Masedo today, with the switch of
eleven pounds in weights.
Don Domo seems to have gone back
and has not run up to his good form
of the early weeks of the season for
some time.
The finish should be Cicely, Masedo,
Money Muss.
Vino should repeat when he hooks
up with the field of sprinters which are
asked to go a route in the fifth race.
The weight arrangement does not ma
terially affect the Durnell colts
edge by winning in hollow fashion from
a good field this week.
Good Luck will give Vino a run for
first money and should be no worse
than second at the finish.
Cutter is asked to carry considerable
weight and go shade further than
she really likes. 1t may be probable
that she will not be in the money.
Orilene and Ramus will fight it out
for show money and the latter should
get the verdict If given a judicious
ride.
The probabilities are Vino. Good
Luck, Ramus.
Jockey Preston had a big day yes
terday winning two races. He put
Alonza over for his employers, New
man & Son, at 20 TO /, and also piloted
Lady King, another 20 to 1 shot, first
TO the wire.
One of the biggest fields of the sea-
son faced the barrier in the second
race when fourteen starters lined ur
at the barrier This large field gave
Starter Hoffman less trouble than did
the feature race. the fourth, wherein
there were but five starters.
