the trainer for the Haymans, has the
horse in good shape. as his final work
for the race. six furlongs in Lie, was the
fastest worked at Ascot This colt was
unbeatable at Pimlico, and as Jim Boder
Is a postmaster at the art of keeping q
horse on edge he will run a first class
race, and If lie is anywhere near the lead
ers in the stretch he will likely be re-
turned the winner as he is as game as
they core.
Col Jack, who won the last Asco
Derby, will not find his burden heavy
as he is a high class colt and held his
own with the best of the handicap horses
around New York last summer. If he
performs to his work Tuesday afternoon
mile l. 1:41 3-5. he should get part OF
the money. Jockey W. Knapp, who rode
him in the Ascot Derby, will have thu
mount, and 81 he is one of the best II
the business. Jack is certain of a gooC
pilot aboard
Walsh Wants Two
j. J. Walsh is under the impression
that he will make it two straight, as he
has already made room for the Inaug-
ural cup on is sideboard, which he hopes
to win with Gabrielle He will start that
much improved Marster in the handicap
and he viii have more than good
chance to score, though he will carry
top weight. Marster worked a mile in
1:44 at Ascot. and John r. Walker, who
trains him, said they would have to lower
the coast record to beat him. MarsteT
can negotiate any going and should be
right there whe~ they flash past the

Lisaro is the horse the Baldwins have
hopes of landing first honors with. He
has shown well in his morning trials, and
E. ]. Baldwin feels confident his home
bred horse will beat his field Radtke
will have the mount, and if Lisaro has
tie stamina and speed Radtke will dc
the rest to get the big end of the purse
Glenecho, the rejuvenated castoff from
the late S. S. Browns stable, has shown
so well : his races in the east this sum-
mer that he will prove himself a dan
gerous factor, and the ones that can beat
him will know they have been to a hoss
race. He is game and a high clas:
horse. The stable jockey, Musgrave
will probably ride him.
Taxer is a nice horse and 102 pounds
will set light on his back. If he gets
away IN front his superior early flight
of speed may see him in advance of his
field all the way. He is partial to a fast
track, although he is one of the get Of

and this one is the dark horse of the
race. There are few workouts to gauge
his condition by, burt from a good source

calculations.
