Horses Of Class viii Contest in the
Sinaloa Handicap Today

The card for this afternoons racing
at Emeryvile is well balanced and will
provide excellent sport. The feature
Will be the Sinaloa handicap, at mile
and fifty yards, for which six classy
entries have been made, including Sir
Edward Edwin Gum, Dusty Miller.
Jocund, Rubrlc and Ramus. Sir Edward
will probably be the favorite and may
win but TO do so he will have to run
better than he did the last time out
Edwin Gum showed high class in his
last three starts and probably will be
keen contender. If Dusty Miller runs
back to the race in which he took Sir
Edwards measure he will be right
there in the final drive. Jocund is in
good form and has an outside chance.
Ramus is in nicely and is dangerous.
Rubric looks to be up against it on his
recent races.
Creation, President Williams Prom
ising youngster. should win the opener.
Bravoure looks to be the contender.
PaJaroita would be dangerous with a
good rider up.
Blanche easily took the measure
of Duke of Orleans on Thursday and
should do it again today in the second
race, especially IL Miller rides her
Louise Fitzgibpon and Triumphant look
best of the balance
Van Ness, Gateway and Magrane will
furnish nice contest in the third. 1t
will be Van Ness track and ne may
be able to win, although racing luck
will undoubtedly play an important
part in the outcome.
Harbor and w. B. Gates appear to be
closely matched in the fifth.
Mansard may be able to beat Entire
Nous in the closing race of the day.
Wee Lass had speed her last time out

YESTERDAYS WINNERS.

and half lengths in front Of Lone
Wolf Talamund was in forward con-
tention the first part. but stopped when
the real racing began.
W. B. Jennings crack sprinter Shot
Gun, held at a prohibitive price in the
betting, only had to gallop to win the
third race Walter Miller was up, and
ing, breezed along in front of Hector
to the stretch, where Hector grew leg
weary and gave way to Dollie Dollars.
The latter made a game challenge, but
was unequal to the task of seriously
menacing the winner, even with the
feather she had on her back. Shot Gun
galloped to the wire, with three lengths
to spare, and Dollie Dollars was second,
five lengths in front of Hector, who
easily saved third money.
MANDATOR'S EASY VICTORY
Mandator, even money favorite in the
fifth, won with the greatest ease under
well judged ride by Scoville, stable
jockey for the Keenes. The lad got the
horse off well, took him back on the
run down the backstretcn and sending
his mount to the front on the stretch
turn, had plenty in reserve at the wire,
where he was two and half lengths
in front of Avonalis. a 2o-to-1 shot with
novice named Charbonneau in the
saddle. Salable raced out in front with
Sahara, a good thing on which Miller
had the mount. and wound up in third
place, the good thing stopping to moth
ing, probably being short.
J. H. Ryan made killing with his
Dunois-Maggie ] gelding Kokomo in
the final race. Kokomo was as good
as 10 TO l in the betting at one stage
and Ryan's friends made such an on
slaught on the bookies when given the
tip that the horse was practically
backed off the boards, to l being the
best obtainable when the They're on
bell sounded. Koerner, the Los An
geles jockey, had been entrusted with
the mount and made good in a Way
that left no room for doubt. The horse
was really a good thing" and the
farther they went the farther ne gal
loped away from his field. At the finish
five lengths separated him from Mitre,
who beat Sam Barber, the favorite. a
neck for place. Altanero, one Of Presi-
dent Williams string, was in forward
contention for half a mile and then fell
back. The favorite got away poorly,
but made up a lot OF ground.
Jockey Graham carried OF the saddle
honors of the day. with two hrsts and
a third. Walter Miller landed one first
and one second out of FIVE chances.
