Handicap Today
The usual Wednesday card. featured
by the weekly steeplechase race and
the $1,000 handicap, will be the attrac-
ton this afternoon and some good con.
tests may be expected.
Eight starters are named in the
ha ndicap, which Is fourth on the card
and J. L. McGnnls has taken a double
header chance for the first money Of
ferfng with Gilpin and Chimney Sweep
one for the dry and the other for the
mud.
a. Muskoday will carry top weight
and yet be a hard one to beat, but II
T. doubtful whether he can give away
the chunks Of weight asked of him and
win.
Cutter is another one that despises
weight and 10 pounds will not encour-
age her to any great extent.
Fustian showed a disposition to quit
the day he won from Secret and Sun
ray at this distance, but was not ready
for a gruelling race, in all probability.
as he is too good horse to dog It when
ready.
Ciilpin is in light and will go we'll II
the track Is dry and hard, but will not
stand up in slop or heavy going Chin
ney Sweep. his partner, is not worth
thirty cents on the dry. but Is a stake
horse in the mud It will either be wet
or dry today and the track will suit one
of these.
Fisher Boy is in with low weight up
and it is improbable that he will be
knocked down again today. Unless
some such contingency arises Fisher
Boy will be hard to beat in the race to
the wire.
Morita, the Spreckels streak. is also
in light, and if she has improved since
her last out, she will go at merry
clip.
for mud or dry tracks, being good in
either going.
On a dry track the result should be
Morita, Fisher Boy. Fustian If the
track is muddy it should be Chimney
Sweep, Orilene Morita.
Lady Usk to Win
The steeplechase race is over the
short course, as usual, and eight start
ers arc named to try the issue.
Decline has 10 pounds up and will
not be in the money unless six others
fall down. Cazador is of no account
Lady Usk has only 100 pounds up
and has apparently learned the lesson
of hurdling. She should win from the
others.
Iron King was a good thing last out,
hut could not deviler the goods. He
may be second today. Kubelik has
license to run third.
The probabilities are Lady Usk, Iron
King, Kubelik.
The baby racers will try for a purse
over four furlongs and will be second
OH the card.
keep on earning brackets if the field
against him today is the best he will
ever have to contend with.
Handmaiden ran such a cracking
good race her last out that she should
be the contender She has a wonderful
burst of speed and may be trouble
some at the end.
Ed Tracy may be third, but must
beat Blue Bottle for his share of the
purse.
The finish may be Ray Egan, Hand
maiden, Ed Tracy.
Fourteen platers are entered in the
third race, but this field will be less
ened by scratches probably.
Lille B seems to have at last found
a soft spot and should win from this
company. This is her distance and she
will have feather on her back.
Katie Crews is a veritable bullet and
may be able to become troublesome to
the winner
Cheripe should be no worse than
third, although Bauble may make it
interesting to the candidate for show
money.
However, the end should be Lille B,
Katie Crews, Cheripe.
Five good platers will form an evenly
balanced field i'm the fifth race and will
travel over the Brooks course.
Ebony should repeat his win of Mon =
day. This one showed great form when
he romped away from The Huguenot
and Potrero Grande and should come
right back today.
Miss Betty will be the dangerous one
and with her light weight up should
do well in this company.
Bill Curtis has not shown anything
to entitle him to much considerat ton.
but he should be in the money.
The end should come in this order:
EDOIy, MISS Betty. Bill curtis.
Daruma and Silver Wedding will
have the final race to themselves and
they should put up a good finish. Da-
rCma ran second to Sir Wilfred recently
in good time and is bullet for speed.
Silver Wedding is another fast one
and is considered a stake runner of
some pretensions to class.
Neatness may go well in this bunch,
but is unreliable. However, this one
should be in the money somewhere.
The result should be Silver Wedding.
Daruma, Neatness.
