by IRVING II. CLEMENT

was made yesterday on Rodolfo, which
won the fifth race from Betsy, Foncas-
ia. Ambitious and several other Selling
paters.
This coup was manipulated in a nice
way A local better put few dollars
on the favorite and Rodoltos price
scared slxyward when the commission
ers placed the money in small amounts
so as to not affect the market.
II. Smith. who had the mount, was
iockeyjng for some time at the post
and when the barrier flew he was the
first one away, went to the front ana
was never headed, to win handlly from
Betsy which just did last long enough
IN heat ont Foncasta, a II to ! shot
Ambitious. the false favorite and
heavily backed, had no excuse and ran
his race Prince Magnet tired in the
heavy going next to the rail-
The surprise of the day was Huapala,
which won the first race at 100 to ana
beat out Elfin King, which was backed
from to to 1. Komombo was thlrd
all the way, but was ridden out 10 save
third from The Major
Jockey Bullman, as usual Won Ihe
colt race. the second event on the caro-,
when he piloted Magazine to victory.
The latter was coupled with Sweet
Taire as the Walsh entry, and was
backed from to to to 3.
Booger Red broke in front with MS
met Jr. and started to make runaway
race Magazine, slow to break was
shut off at the turn, but Bullman nus
fled him along and he was going away
at the finish. The others did not snow
anything worthy of mention.
Good Thing Misses Fire
A genuine good thing failed to get
over in the third race. Desmages,
fn
running until fifty yards from the WIRE
when Markie Mayer, which was heaV-
ilv played, came on and outgamed Des-
images to win by neck.
Ayontellus, the favorite, ran his usual
game race. but tired in the stretch
Avalon showed keen speed for SIX 1ur-
longs.
ner for the day when j. j. walsh S
Arimo, which was favorite in the bet
ting at to 5, won the fourth race in
drive from Lord Stanhope. Arimo
set the pace all the way and appeared
to be winning easily when Lord Stan
hope came with rush and MADE
Fischer hustle his mount to WIN.
w. H. Carey backed from 10 TO
Q to +. was third. j. F. Donohue found
his weight too heavy. Livius ran a
good race, but faltered in the last few
strides. to be beaten for the short end
of the purse.
First this one then that one was
whispered as a good thing for the
race. AS a result almost everything
was played .Pimkin chalked faVorite at
2 TO 9 Banada was played from 2 TO
8 TO and Jim Leonard and Gold
Heather were both heavily backed
Pimkin got away in front and never
left the result in doubt, as McDaniels
had a nice hold on him all the way, In
a dingdong finish Gold Heather just
did last to get the place by a head
from Banlada.
Jim Leonard showed a fine turn of
early speed, but quit padly "hen lhe
pinch came.
w. p. Maxwell sold to 7. B. Moots
the brown horse Jack Kercheville.
Terms private
Mike Clancy. known to all race GO
ers around New York tracks, arrived
from the east and was at Ascot yester-
day. Clancy owned and trained such
good ones as MaXimo Gomez and st.
Finnan. At present he owns that good
handicap horse, Tommy Waddell, who
got Jockey Radtke in trouble at ia
maica last fall.
w. G. Yanke, who came from Oak
d
and Dr. Craig, returned to EmeryVille
again. as it is harder to win a race at
Ascot than it is on Tom Williams
track.
Sweet Taire which made his debut
in the second race yesterday, is full
brother to the fast filly Mazapan.
Jockey "Puddin" McDanieIs rode two
winners yesterday, which were the first
he rode since his enforced rest when
he was set down by the judges for
rough riding.
Selections for Today
All the fields have filled we'll and
there should be some good sport seen
this afternoon. as the track win be in
fairly good shape.
The handicap, at five and half fur
longs, is the star attraction, as some
of the best three-Year-OldS at the
track are cardcd to start. Jersey Lady
is about due to Wn. She has been rae
ing over a distance of ground ana al
ways showed speed for part of the way.
The distance will suit her today and
she should win.
Airs is a very fast hlly and should
turn the tables ON l2laucer, which beat
her the last time they mot. Col. Jack
likes the soft track and Will be right
there at the finish. San Alviso and
Halton have a chance to be i'm the
money.
Charles J.. stone looks much the best
in the first race, but ne belongs to the
Combine" who are booking at the
track and the horse win be- fayorito.
1t will be Just as well to put little
bet on Little Minister to win and place,
as it would to play Stone. Gold Ledge
is the dangerous one and especially
over a route, as he finishes like a
cyclone. Happy Rice has am outside
chance to be one, two, three.
The second race is a strictly three
horse affair between Pautou0c, Toot-
Nook and Entire Nous, and il would not
be surprising to see them finish I'm this
order.
Winsome WAYS will take a lot Of
beating in the third race as She has n
lot of early speed ana shrId win an
the way with her light weight Lord
Provost will travel well I'm the soft
going and should be hard to beat for
the place. Has a chance To- win, Saiy
should hold the balance safe. Taylm
