SHLFTY LOT
FOR FEATURE
TAYLOR GEORGE FIGURED ON AS
WINNER
Quality and Quantity Both Lacking In
Well Balanced Card Presented
to Turtles for This
Afternoon
BY IRVING II. CLEMENT

While the program at Santa Anita does
rot boast of quality or quantity this aft
ernoon there are six we'll balanced events
that should result in good sport and close
finishes.
The feature race, a purse affair for 2
year-olds and upward at six furlongs,
brings together shifty lot of sprinters
and is very open affair. Taylor George
is such consistent performer that he
can be depended upon to run a good race,
and as c. Ross will have the leg up he
may be returned the winner. Old Money
Muss will go we'll with only 104 pounds
on his back, but can hardly beat the top
one at equal weights. Gabrielle did not
run her race on Saturday and performed
as if short. May improve today and
finish close up, and even beat the top one.
Toupee, as rule, wins his first out, but
viii; have to go some to get under the
wire ahead of this bunch of sprinters.
Old Colony is the only other one that has
& look in.
Creston, on figures, looks to be a cinch
in the first but Bal Reid showed a fine
burst of speed Saturday and may win.
That race was needed to put an edge on
her speed and she has excellent chance 10
some fair races around New York at
times and as she has been working well
look for her to beat out Chief Desmon !
Cor peep money. The latter is a fair colt
and may beat his rating.
Waterbury Is Fancied
Waterbury, a member of the Carmau
string looks little the best for the Sec
end as he will have Burns in the saddle;
is good and fit and a rapid breaker.
Alteration ran with good horses in the
east but is q rank in and outer and can
rot DE depended on as a betting PROPOSE
ton. Has only Halton to beat for the
place honors. The latter ran well on thu
Canadian circuit and should have little
trouble to show the way TO the balance
of the field. Amigo and Zelma may come
to life
Frank Flittner beat ]. f. Donohue and
Kilter on Saturday and there is no reason
why he should not do so again. He is
good. game, consistent performer ana
should show his heels to the field all the
way ]. f. Donohue and Kilter look to
have the place and show between them
but if anything splits them up it will be
Edwards, as he ran some clever races IN
the northwest last summer. Ormonde's
Right does not appear to be ready to do
his best and acts very sour and mean ut
the post Should finish: Frank Flittner
j. f. Donohue, Kilter.
optician Has Chance
While the fifth race looks as though 1t
were gift to Optician on account OF his
last race, when he was away poorly and
then won as his rider pleased, he meets
better lot of horses today in Josies
Jewell. Niblick and Uncle Henry, and
they may beat him. Josie's Jewell is
working we'll and she will prove danger
Gus factor all the way. Niblick prefers
seven furlongs, but will go mile, and
if they let him get too far in front may
never be caught. Uncle Henry is good
and fit and may upset calculations by win
ming. May catch the judges eye in TINS
order: Optician, Josie's Jewell, Niblick.
Eleven maidens are carded to face the
barrier in the sixth race. John c. Graus
came down with good record from Oak
land so he looks like the one to have
the best chance. Sainperia has shown
good morning trials and should be the
contender. Barato, on his last race, when
he showed nice speed, may drop the third
position. The others have not done very
much to give them chance. but doping
maidens is not very reliable and any
thing may win.
