the Surprise Of the Day After
the First Race Has
Been Run 4


cot yesterday afternoon, as only two
favorites won. The sport in two of
the races was good, as the finishes were
close between the first three horses.
The surprise of the day was Teddy
Mack. which won the first race at 90
to 1, practically overlooked in the bet
ting. Ross got him away well and he
was never headed. though at the end
Taos and Big Store were cutting down
nis lead every jump, but little Ross
hunched him on to victory. Taos was
second on the rail. head in front Of
Big Store which Harris took all
around the field and If ridden with
good judgment would probably have
won. Throw out his race for future
calculations. Joan of Arc and Kam-
sack both quit at the head of the
stretch, after a vain effort to catch
Teddy Mack.
Orelio, full brother to Cruzados,
was served up as the good thing in the
second race and was played from to
Z to 5. Royal Ascot was always to 1
and st. Orloff closed at to 1. Fall
staff was Nfirst to show with Orelio
second and Bankara third. They ran
this way until the stretch where Royal
Ascot squeezed through next to the
rail and won easily. Orelio quit when
put to a drive. St Orloff came with a
rush in the stretch and took third
money from Bankara.
Foncasta, backed from to 5 to even
money, played with his field all the
way and won the third race easily.
Avontellus, second choice and played
from to to 1, came with a rush
and nipped out Desmages the last few
jumps for the place money. The latter

in the stretch. Prince Frederick went
well for five furlongs. Lucrece did not
appear to like the going. Banlada had
no excuses and ran her race.
The fourth event resulted in close
finish, as ]. r. Laughrey, Temaceo and
Arimo finished heads apart. Laughrey,
at 4 to 1, made the pace all the way
with Temaceo second and Arimo third
two lengths away. At the paddock

maceo, the favorite at even money,
with Arimo head behind.
Knapp put up a superior finish and
could have won on any of the three
horses. Livius was always outrun.
A very poor lot faced the barrier for
the fifth race with Lacene favorite at
21s to 1. Little Gregg was second
choice at to 1 and Lady King held
her own at all stages of the betting
at 20 to 1. Easter Card was first to
show and the others behind him were
punched. Turning into the stretch Dan
Collins took the lead with Lacene Sec
ond and Little Gregg third. Knapp
hustled Lucene and she had enough
left to stall off Lady King, which fin
ished fast by a head.
Little Gregg nipped out Dan Collins
for the show money. Suavita was cut
IL
around her field, but for this would
have been a close contender. Agnes
Mack had no chance with the start.
Belchamber, sporting the colors of
his new owner. w. T. Anderson, was
made favorite for the sixth race. Nap
pa was second choice at to l and FL
Cazador, wearing the colors of H. G.
Bedwell, who recently bought him from
e. ]. Baldwin, was played from 4 to
3 to 1. Kirkfield Belle closed at 15 to 1.
Belchamber and Nappa raced each
other into exhaustion and Mcdaniel
slipped through on the rail and won
going away by several lengths. In a
drive Kirkfield Belle lasted long enough
to save the place from Nappa by a
nod. Belchamber's race was too bad
to be true and it will be we'll not to
consider it in future calculations.
Barney Murray, prominent horse

Today's Probabilities
The timber toppers will have another
inning this afternoon in the first race,
which appears the feature event of an
ordinary card.
Brennus, although he takes up extra
weight, made such good impression
his first time over the sticks that he
may be a coming good one, so look
for him to win again. Decimo appears
easily second best and ran as though
short last time out. Has an outside
chance to beat the top one. Indian II
and Vincedo should fight it out for
show.
The second race is a very open affair
and If Meddling Daisy is ever going
to win a race she looks to be in a
soft spot here and she has only to
perform to her morning trials to win.
Luckett will be hard to beat for the
place. Phyz looks the likely contender
Netting is about due and may upset
calculations by winning. Joyner should
go we'll over the route.
A bad lot of maidens are to face the
barrier in the third race, the best OF
which on paper appear to be Avalon
Lisbia and Libertinus, and they may
catch the judges eye in this order. MY
Choice and Mohur have a chance to
finish in the money.
The handicap at a mile is a very
hard one to select the winner for as
Secretary Boden has allotted the
weights so that none of them on fig
ures stand out prominently So make
It a guess, Gorgalette, Reservation
Jetsam.
II Bragg runs to his last out he
should win the fifth race today as he
was palpably short and the race should
do him good. Elizabeth should run a
nice race and may beat the top one
