THREE FAVORITES
WON AT P..'.:.LIC0

BALTIMORE. Md. April 24.-Mud iarks
had their inning on the Pimlico track yes
terday afternoon. The overnight rains
made the track sloppy and the talent again
found it hard picking There were seven
events on the program, four of which went
to outsiders. The good thing of the day
was Betsy Binford. In the second race at
one mile. Closing at 10 to in the betting.
Betsy Binford found the track to her lik-
ing, and she got away good and was never
headed Betsy Binford was practically
overlooked in the betting. She carried the
light weight of 81 pounds, and had little
difficulty in winning, as little Schaller, who
rode her. never gave the others chance to
get near.
Warning. owned by Jack Farrell and one
of Father Bill Days castoffs, was well
played. Warning opened at to 1 and
closed at to 1. Warning was never a
serious contender. though the bay horse
finished third. Cobmosa ran second. Cob
mosa was the second choice in the betting,
and was beaten by four lengths by the
outsider.
Smithson's Two Winners.
C. c. Smithson furnished two of the three
winning favorites. In the opening event
he found a soft thing with Ell Dorado, and
won with AZelina in the sixth, both races
being at six furongs The Smithson en-
tries We're heavily backed by their owner.
Ell Dorado opened at to 5, and it was not
long before he was a 1-to-2 chance There
was a strong play on Beldemo, but the
Cannon horse was short. Ell Dorado out
classed the field. Getting away in the
front, Ell Dorado showed his heels to the
field all the way, winning pulled up by
Jockey DigginS.
In the sixth race Azelina looked to be
beaten by Parkville in the last sixteenth,
but through the good rating of Jockey
7 How'd AZa1in9 closed ha upn
out by half a length. In the drive AZelina
bumped Parkville.. claim of foul was
registered. but it was not allowed by the
stewards, and the money went to the back
ers of AZelina.
