Classics
BY Jay Davidson


style by Barney Schreiber's sensational
colt Horace e, which made show
of his field and stepped the five fur
longs in 100, being eased up at the
end and winning by five lengths.
Had Horace been extended to his
hest efforts it is believed by horsemen
who witnessed his easy win that he
could have again shattered the track
record and lowered the mark for this
distance recently set by Sir Wilfred
at 59& seconds.
The performance of Horace E was
better than Sir Wilfred's in that he
carried eight pounds more weight than
did the Durnell sprinter and was eased
down to common canter through the
final eighth and yet came within one
quarter of a second of the record.
Horace e is easily the two-year-old
champion of the season at Ascot or any
other race course now in operation.
In his short career upon the turf he has
started seven times at Ascot and has
never been out of the money.
Silver Stocking beat him a short
head at three and one-half furlongs
on his first start January IS. Sweet
Kitty and Early Flower beat him at
the same distance on his next start.
Since that time, however, he has raced
five times and has won all starts.
Included in the races won by Horace
e is every two-year-old stake of the
Ascot season since New Years. He has
won the Santa Barbara stakes worth
s1770 net, the Santa Monica stakes
worth $17S0 net and the Woodlands
stakes worth $2490 net. Two other
races won netted $3.50 and one second
worth $50 and one third worth $25
make the total winnings of this colt
amount to $6765, all won in six weeks.
10 rfp 1nn
season winnings of Horace e to a
figure which is exceeded only by the
amounts won by Borghesi, and the
baby racer has made all his winnings
in less than two months.
Horace E is by Bannockburn-M Miss
Lynah and was bred at Woodlands
stock farm near st. Louis. He was
shipped to Ascot with other horses in
charge of Trainer w. Covington and
is one of the few horses that run as
truly in real races as in the morning
workouts.
Schreiber has made many stake en-
gagements for his good colt and the
great form shown thus far justifies the
hopes entertained by owner and trainer
that he will be an important factor in
all two-year-old events in which he
may start.
Romps All the Way
Horace e was fifth to leave the post,
but like a flash he caught Allerion,
which was away flying, and passed
him and at the stretch turn had a
lead of eight lengths. Jockey Dugan
sat still and allowed the colt to run
as he pleased to the paddock gate,
where he eased him down and Horace
p was merely cantering as he passed
under the wire five lengths ahead of
Allerion, which beat Kilter nose for
the place.
j. L. Holland had Kilter and First
Pirate coupled in the betting as his
entry, but declared to win with Kilter
which gave him the right to order
Jockey Kent to pull First Pirate and
allow Kilter to win if these two were
running one-two at the finish, and
thereby save First Pirate the penalty
of weights for future stake engage
ments. 1t was unnecessary, however,
as Kilter was always leading First
Pirate and neither ever had any chance
to beat the winner.
Harry Slower had Native Son and
Ray Egan coupled as his entry, but
declared out Native Son and sent Ray
Egan to the post as his candidate.
After running prominently to the final
eighth, Ray Egan dropped back In the
bunch, finishing fifth.
Horace E was considered such
moral by the bookies and the pub
lie that 1 to Q was the best obtain
able price against his chances and he
certainly ran as If in justification of
this confidence.
Daruma Improves
The third race was the event of Sec
ondary Importance, as it brought to-
gether one of the best matched fields
of sprinters of the season. The books
preferred the chances of Don Domo
and made the gray ghost favorlte at
2s but a heavy and continuous play
on the chances of Lacene forced this
one into public favoritism at post
time.
AS was expected, Daruma darted out
in front at the start and as was not |
expected she did not show the speed in |
the early stages that is usual to her
races, Jockey Kent wisely holding her |
in check until in the stretch.
However, she assumed a command
ing lead at flag fall and led all the |
way to the wire. Money Muss under |
took the task of chasing the speedy |
filly, but the job was heartbreaking, |
and he gave it up at the stretch turn. |
Lacene also tried her hand at chasing |
Daruma, but was choked into submits |
sion as the field neared the paddock |
gate and quit to nothing. Don Domo |
made his usual stretch run, but was
likewise unable to catch the equine |
meteor and it was a mere romp for
Daruma to the wire.
At the end the Solitaire filly was
playing solitaire for first money by
four lengths, with Don Domo second
and Cholk Hedrick third. The distance
was not great enough for the latter,
but he finished like a whirlwind and
nipped Money Muss in the final jumps.
Daruna showed Improvement in this
race as compared with former efforts,
but the ride given her by Jockey Kent
is responsible for 1t. Kent held her
in check for half the journey and when
turning into the stretch. allowed her
free rein, her reserve speed sufficing to
send her to the wire four lengths in
the lead.
D'ArlSle, the sensational bird owned
by Senator Tim Sullivan of New York,
made his first start at Ascot and ran in
sixth position all the way.
The Huguenot Wins
The second race was another good
contest and, strange as it may seem.
The Huguenot, which was held at to
/, won from Cabin, Blissful and other
good ones in fast time and no one
really climbed over the barbed wire
fence onto the track and did a John
Wilkes Booth stunt at creating another
