and excitement which is the natural
accompaniment to this class of racing.
Allegiance was the star performer in
the race upon the green. and this usu-
ally reliable fencer peCked the first
jump and stumbled as he alighted
throwing Jockey Sutherland violently
to the ground.
Sutherland was thrown directly in
the path of his mount and Milas and
was severely kicked by both. Either
from the effects of the fall or the kicks
Sutherland sustained conclusion of the
brain and is in a critical condition.
After stumbling, Allegiance struck
out after the field and finished the
race riderless, taking all the jumps and
running in front all the way to the
wire, interfering with every other
horse in the race and causing Cazador
to run out at the fouth jump.
The Schrieber entry was made fav-
orite to win this event and Adams,
which was coupled with Mindora as
the entry. easily took the long end of
the purse from Milas and Decimo.
Allegiance finished first. but was not
in the running after losing his rider.
Cazador ran out at the fourth jump
and was pulled up by Jockey Murphy.
Cutter again demonstrated that she
is one of the speediest and most con-
sistent runners at Ascot by spread
eegling her field in the fourth race,
winning eased up by five lengths in the
good time of 1:40 Ia.
Retropaw was second, nearly three
lengths in front Of J. r. Donohue
which finished third Firm Foot was
last away from the post and was
turned the wrong way when the bar
rier went up spelling whatever
chances this one had of winning.
Cutter was held at prohibtive odds
and the heavy play turned upon Re-
tropaw for the place.
Maiden Gets Brackets
Evelyn Griffin earned brackets and
broke out of the three-year- old maiden
class by winning the second race on
the card. She was first away from the
post and never surrendered this posi-
ton during the journey, winning by
three lengths
Babe B, held at sos won the place
from Moncie Mable, which made her
first start at Ascot.
Pepper Pod was faVOrite in the
opening betting, but a strong play on
Evelyn sent her odds to the minimum
and she closed as the favorite.
Henchman was believed to hold the
third race at his mercy. but was too
vigorously ridden in the early stages
and was all pumped out at the finish,
when Theo Case came through and
won by nearly two lengths.
Case was probably best. as he lay
out of the first stages and came strong
at the end, running over his field with
ease. Col. Bronston was third by a
good margin.
w. r. Anderson won the fifth race
with Sun Mark which repeated in
good fashion, determintedly stallng off
the challenge Of Nine Spot the good
thing.
Nine Spot closed stoutly and full Of
run. but could never get close enough
to Sun Mark to be dangerous. Miss
Betty was bumped in the stretch ana
was lucky TO finish in third place.
Stoessel came to life in the last
race and easily defeated the / to .
favoritc, Starting which was firing
fast from pace setting.
Ossian outgamed Search Me in the
stretch drive and secured the show
money by half a length.
Owing to the prohibitive odds placed
upon the chances of Startling, whicn
appeared to have the race already
won. there was slight play on any of
the horses. all going up in the market
Pasadena Handicap Today
The feature of the card for today
will be the Pasadena handicap, when
is fourth on the program.
An even dozen starters are named
to go to the post and the field is the
A11OSI VI any NlAtil IldS Yet
gone to the post in a stake event at
Ascot this season.
Hippocrates, BorgheSi and RubricI
seem TO be weighted out Of the run
ming, although these are game and
high-class handicap horses and may
have AN outside chance on sheer class
Ell Otros, Chantilly, Hermitage, Re
tropaw and w. IL. Carey will lind the
distance and the pace too much for
them and will probably be taken care
OF after the first mile is run.
The race, therefore, seems 10 lie be-
tween Marshal Ney, The Huguenot,
Memories and Michael Bynes.
The Huguenot was never better in
his life and is game and consistent
runner. He also has speed and the
horse that beats him TO the Wire must
accomplish this end through out-ruu-
ming him, as he will keep up his top
notch speed clear back TO Harlem, if
necessary.
Marshal Ney is a true runner and
Will admire the distance. The greater
the distance, the better is this one
If the race was at four miles he would
be a copper -riVeted cinCh.
Memories seems TO have gone back
and runs as if stale in recent outs. AT
that, the Holland candidate may sur
prise everybody who give her no
chance at the long end Of the stake.
Mlcndel l5yrneS VIII he right there
when the money is counted, and with
his light weight up must not be over
looked
The probabilities of this race are
that The Huguenot will win, Michael
Byrnes will be second and Marshal
Ney will be third.
Sea Sick should win the first race.
This one is persistent seeker after
brackets and is i'm the cheapest COM
pany of his existence.
Marlborough will be the one Sea
Sick must beat for the purse. This
one has the added charm of belong
ing to Harry Stover and should be con-
sidered in serious vein on past per-
formeances.
Rubiana should not be worse than
third today and with a feather up
should be hard to beat.
II Is probable that the usual long
shot will win the race. but a fair guess
at long range is that Sea Sick will
WIN. Edinborough will be second and
Rubiana third.
Mabel Should Repeat
Harry Slower should continue his
unbroken string of victories and make
