Favorites were very much in evil
dence at Ascot yesterday and kept UP
the good percentage of the past two
weeks by taking four of the seven
events on the card. Long shots had an
other poor day CULVER being the only
one to score. The average price laid
against the chances of the winners was
to l, but as Gulliver's win at los
destroyed the real average, this figure
should not be taken carelessly.
My Surprise won the first race at
21-2 to 1. CULVER won the second
at Is to l. Ethylene was played down
from 2 1-2 to 6 to and won the third
race Ebony at 1-2 beat Orilene, the
2 to false favorite. Piquet won the
fifth race at 4 to 8. Bribery kept it
up by winning the sixth race at to
S, and Pacifico won the last race at
z to 5.
Such a preponderance of favoritism
is seldom witnessed upon any track,
especially during getaway" week, and
the public strongly supported these
favorites, which evidences the hard
lines" of the bookies, which is keeping
UP regularly the record of the earlier
weeks of the meeting, when the books
were being trimmed every day.
Favorites began their massacre of
long shots with the first race, when
My Surprise got up in time to nip
Phyz on the wire and win by head.
Hagerdon set a terrific pace to the
eighth pole, but weared of we'll doing
and retired to make room for My Sur
prise and Phyz, which finished 1-2.
CULVER, under a judiCiOuS ride by
Preston, ran like a wild horse and
found the half mile route cut out for
the babes in the second race just to his
liking, and he earned brackets by two
lengths. He was quoted at 15s at post
time and was not played to any eX-
tent Commida, the favorite, was
heavily played, but was fortunate to
beat out Wapnagootis for the place.
Wap led the field to the paddock gate,
as usual, but curled up fast in the
final strides.
EthyIene Romps Home
It had been many a day since
Ethylene won a race until yesterday,
but the public was so certain that this
is the day" that the IS posted against
the chances Of the Freeman mare was
hastily gobbled and at post time the
price was even money.
Hoodwink was first away from the
post, but Ethylene had her speed with
her and in a flash was out in the lead.
From the start to the end it was Ethy-
