WOODLANDS STAKES

ALSO RAMS
Three Favorites and Long Shots Fur
nished Good Days Sport
at Ascot Park Yes
terday

Considering the bad weather large
crowd was at Ascot yesterday When
the bugle called the horses to the post
for the first race.
The sport was not very exciting, but
two close finishes. The public had an
even break with the bookles, as three
favorites won and the long odd play
crs won in two of the other events.
Banlada, the second choice, won the
first race from the odds on faNorite,
Lord Rossingtou. The latter set the
pace for six furlongs, when Banlada
came fast and never left the result
in doubt, winning easily. Commida
had no trouble to get the show money.
Sylvan Dixon, backed from 10 to TO
/, reared as the barrier was released
and could never make up the ground
she lost at the start.
Susie Christian. the to favortte
for the second event, took the lead
from nagfall and was never headed
although at the end McDaniels took
no chances and rode her out, as
Freesias was finishing fast Gold Spot
was miscrably ridden, as Ncubert had
her in every pocket he could find and
she got third on her own courage.
Throw out this race for future cal
culations. as she can do better. Hat
tie carr had no excuses and ran a race
that is worth remembering in a poorer
field of horses.
The spaghetti horse" Givonni Ba-
lerio, made good in the third race
after being backed from to 1 to to
10 by opening a gap of two lengths
the first quarter which he held until
the finish. The Roustabout did not
show his usual early speed and Single
ton made no move with him until the
race was almost over otherwise he
would have been closer up.
CadiChon finished with a rush and
ran his race. Chancellor Walworth
threatened at the far turn, but quit
badly the final eighth. Reeves showed
speed and will do to remember for
early action. LucrcCe did not appear
to like the going. Lord Provost had
no chance at the start. as he got
caught in the webbing and finished
with it hanging around his neck.
The feature event was the Wood
lands stakes for 2-year-Olds at a half
mile. which was worth $235O net to the
winner. Early Tide. from the barn of
II. r. Griffin, won by head
from Harvel. the pacemaker, in the
last few strides.
Balbus, outrun early. finished with a
rush, but founG his impost a trifle too
heavy. Early Tide was quoted at ;
to /, the same odds that prevailed
against the chances of Balbus, while
HarVel was backed from to l to Pc
to l.
Banonica. with Dugan in the saddle,
was backed to S to favoTitism.
TurnaWay had Radtke in the saddle
and he beat the gate three lengths,
but the flly did not like the going.
DuGan ana Radtke received quite an
ovation from the grand stand on the
way to the post.
The public got q bad dump in the
fifth race, handicap at a mile. a.
MuSkOday was faYorite at to D. while
Ormonde's Right and Orilene closed
second choices at to l each. J. r.
Laughrey closed at S to ! after 10 to
l could be had at one time.
Wiley got Laughrey off in his stride
and he made every post a winning
him to stand of Orilene's challenge.
The latter was close to the pace, but
was not good enough.
A. Muskoday, in going TO his liking
had no apparent mishaps and was
beaten by better horses. Ormonde's
Right would not extend himself and
sulked all the way.
La Gloria. the even money favorite,
won the sixth event. Finn got her
away well and she took a lead of two
lengths which she never relinquished
At the end Madden closed like a shot
and had Finn kicking out La Gloria.
Jack Kerchcville was third ali the
way. Canopian quit badly when the
pinch came after showing speed.
Jockey Koerner rode Voaday. the
winner of the Family Club Handicap,
at Oakland yesterday. Knapp, who
had the mount on w. H. Carey, fin
ished second.
Tab F'ustian for next start with the
same kind that beat him yesterday.
as he is in fine condition and will win
soon.
