Yesterday
winner romped home without much cou-
tention. The public and bookies had
about an even break, as three favorites
won. The surprise of the day was Cham
cellor Walworth, which won the fifth
event at Is to 1.
The Walsh entry was heavily played
to win the first race for 2-year-olds Mt
three furlongs, being backed from as
good as to to to 5 at post time.
Orlina, who made his debut, was quoted
at IL to 1. The Griffin entry, Adrian
and Willie T, were second choices, but
receded in the betting from 3 to to
at post time. The start was good, ana
McDaniels at once sent Lackfoot to the
front, and was never headed, to win
easily. Slater, coupled in the betting
with Lackfoot, was easily second best.
Three horses finished heads and noses
apart for third money, and Orlina just
did last, as Rey Hindoo, outrun early,
finished like a shot. Adrian Will do
better next time out, as he ran green
AS soon as even money was posted on
Escalante the public made a rush to get
aboard, and the price dropped imme-
diately to to 5. Toupee was second
choice in the betting at 4 to l, and
Right and True closed a point higher.
After O. short delay Hoffman sent them
away perfect, and Right and True
opened gap of a length with Esca-
lante second and Toupee third. Turning
into the homestretch Escalante took
command and won handily. Kunz
whipped Toupee in an effort to catch
the winner in the stretch, but 1t was
useless. Right and True was firing at
the end and Koerner applied his gad to
save third from Oratorian.
Royal Rogue was installed favorite
for the third race. Revolt was always
second choice at to l and Halton was
backed from 20 to 15 to 1 and was very
heavily played for place and show.
Halton and Susannah made all the
pace until in the homestretch, where
the latter quit Keogh then set sail for
the leader and had things his own way
from the paddock to the wire. In a
drive Revolt just failed to get up for
place by a head. Nappa showed early
speed, then quit. Betsy found her
weight trifle too much and quit after
going half. James M broke down at
the three-furlong pole and did not
finish.
The fourth race was good betting
race. Ampedo opened favorite at to
6. Colonel Jack opened at 2 to 1 and
Arino at to 1. The play sent Colonel
Jacks price down to to 5 and Ampe-
dos odds went up to 2 to l, when the
owner sent in a wad and backed him TO
equal the favorite with Colonel Jack.
Arimo went to to l. Ormonde's was
backed from to 4 to 1. The start was
good, and Preston sent Arimo to the
front at once, with Colonel Jack second
and Ampedo third. They ran in this
order all the way, and Arimo won 60
ing away. Colonel Jack was easily Sec
ond best and had little trouble to beat
Ampedo. The others were beaten Off
Arimo sported the colors of r. F. Car
man, who bought him a few hours be-
fore the race.
The talent had a hard time guessing
the winner for the fifth race, and sew
eral horses were heavily backed. Nib
lick went to the post favorite at 13 to
5. DeSmageS was 40 to l and Chancellor
Walworth receded in the betting from
to Is to l. Desmages and Clandestine
set the pace for three-quarters, where
the field punched, and was anybodys
race. Knapp saved ground on the turn
and won the race handily with Chan
cellor Walworth. Desmages which led
all the way, lasted long enough to save
place from Niblick, which could never
get to the front and ran his race. Hi
Caul Cap and Josies Jewell We're inter-
fered on the first turn and both ran a
good race, and with earlier racing luck
would have been closer up.
T. M. Cassidy put over Greene in the
sixth race, which was backed from as
high as 16 to to to l at post time.
Norfolk, the lukewarm favorite, in d
drive beat out Red Garter for the place,
with Phil Igoe in a pocket neck be-
hind. st. Edgar showed a flash of
speed, then Greene came on and won
easily as his rider pleased.
