ny IRVING n. CLEMENT

The chances are that some good
sport will be seen this afternoon at
Ascot, as six we'll balanced races are
scheduled to be run. The handicap
will be the feature event, but
steeplechasing is a favorite sport with
racegoers and the first race VIII he
a very interesting one, as two horses
that finished noses apart will again
meet, though under different weights.
Cazador takes UP weight, so does
DR.. Logan, while Tom Cogan, who
bled in his last race, takes off weight.
Under these circumstances Tom Co
gan will be the one to beat Cazador
should again beat DR.. Logan. VIM.
Parrish and Atlantico are in and out
ers and are liable to be a surprise at
any time.
If Euripides is anywhere near to
his form he showed last summer he
should beat this kind hands down.
The betting will show. Uncle Henry
looks to be the contender and has
shown his ability to carry weight.
Search Me has never gone the dis
lance, but Booker will be in the sad
die and that means lot, as he is
one of the best riders at Ascot now.
Golden Light has not shown any
thing startling, but is liable to come
to life when least expected. Mortlake
ran BOIllG ldlT IdCGS anu VIII NC ~
dangerous factor. They should come
Euripides, Uncle Henry, Search Me.
Fifteen maidens are carded to start
in the third race. This is a bad lot
and the one that gets off in front
will have clear sailing. On form and
figures they should come Hazeline,
Little Minister, Prosperity. There are
some new ones in this lot, the best
of which on work are Lord Stanhope,
I'd Tho n -
ket will tell.
Secretary Boden arranged the
weights so nicely in the handicap that
selecting the winner is not an easy
task. Stillcho with 112 pounds up ran
an excellent race with Toupee and w.
II. Carey and finished like a shot.
Supreme Court ran a better race than
the chart shows, as he was away
none too well and ran all around his
field. Piquet showed a lot of speed
in both of her races and with only a
feather on her back is liable to get
so far in front that may never catch
her. ]. F. Donohue and Chimney
Sweep run better on a muddy or
heavy track.
Bill Curtis will go we'll and will
have an excellent chance. Macy Jr.
can do better than his last race and
may be the surprise today. Strict
figures makes the race Stilicho, Su-
preme Court, Piquet.
Red Garter looks to be in an easy
spot in the fifth race and has only
Nappa to beat. The latter ran one OIL
two good races here, winning once By
a short margin in slow time. Illusion
is game, but never went the distance
Has the speed and should outgamt
Edwin Z. Fryer for the show honors
There is speed galore in the sixth
race, but when it comes to stamina
the gray ghost, Don Domo is the one
He is as game as they make them
and will be a hard one to beat.
La Chata ran a cracking good race
for her first time out this year and
with ten pounds weight off should be
close up. Right and True is very fast
if she gets off in front, but will dog
if she does not. Is unreliable. Revolt
will go well.
Should finish Don Domo, La Chata
Right and True.
