PURSE EVENT TO
THE Be FEATURE
THREE-YEAR-0LDS TO START
IN THE THIRD
Handicapped Has Arranged a Fair
Gard for This Afternoons Sport
at Ascot-Antara In
Form

The feature event for this afternoon
at Ascot park will be the third race, a
purse for three-year-olds at seven fur
The race will be an open affair if the
| track remains fast, as they are evenly
matched.
Halton did not run his race his last
time out and may perform better to-
| day. If he improves over his last effort
he has the speed of his party and may
lead all the way. San Alviso will come
to the races good and fresh and has an
excellent chance to beat the top one as
! he likes the route.
Star of Runnymede has a world of
early speed and if he can carry over the
seven furlongs will be a dangerous fac
tor. Black Mate is the star danger here
and if he runs one of his good races
will beat them all.
| Sixteen very ordinary selling platers
are carded to start and go five Iurlongs.
Racing luck and riders will figure in
selecting the winner in scramble like
hits, so look for My Choice to win as
she is a fast breaker, has the speed of
the bunch and may last the route.
Lone Hand will give the top one a
strong argument, as her race Saturday
was good one and she will have a
good chance to win. Lillian Ayres and
Avalon may fight it out for the short
end of the purse. Joe Kelly has an
outside chance to finish among the
| first three.
King Ahab on his last race figures
| best in the second event and will be the
one to beat. Jockey Claussen, an ap-
prentice, will have the mount and he is
| a promising rider, as he handled the
colt well in his last race.
DR.. Crook has world of early speed
but as Zelina can keep up with him
part of the way he will quit and prob
ably only get the place honors. Zelina
ran a cracking good second to Red Bill
but may find the six furlong route a
trifie too far. She should last long
enough to be third.
Pepper and Salt is the star danger as
his last race was a better one than the
chart shows, he being almost left at
the post, then ran all around his field
and won. He may upset calculations
and win today. Virginia Lorraine has
an excellent chance to be in the money.
The fourth race is hard one to select
the winner of. Elmdale with his light
weight may be returned here as he is a
| good colt. Piquet has a lot of early
speed and if she gets away we'll may
lead her field all the way. Chancellor
Walworth is about due to earn his oats
again as the odds will be long against
HIS CIdHCSS ana he DelOISS 10 d lTlCk-
ster Belvoir and King of the Mist will
both go we'll. Susie Christian runs bet
ter on a heavy track.
Antara looks to be in a soft spot in
the fifth race as he is good now and
should romp home an easy winner
Elata. with only ninety-five pounds or
her back, looks as easily second best
and should have little trouble to beat
out Willie Gregg for the place honors
Little Gregg has good chance to
finish bang up and get some of the
money.
Yellow Kid beat Capable before and
may do so again, as the former ran a
good race his last out and outgame6
Capable at the finish. Henry Waite
and The Poet should be right there fol
the third honors. Watch the betting on
McGrathiana Prince as he belongs to a
long shot agent and is about due to
earn brackets.
