Harvel Graduates from Maiden Class
by Taking First, Though Long
Shot Follows First on
Heels

Three favorites won so the public had
an even break with the bookies. Tay-
lor George 1 to shot, was beaten
I'm the sixth race through overconfi-
dence of Jockey Ross.
Harvel graduated from the maiden
ranks when he won the first race.
Swagerlator, a 20 to 1 shot, cut across
the field at the start, then set fast
pace until the paddock gate, where he
stopped and Harvel came on to win
easily. Swagerlator was an easy sec
ond, while Daily, 80 to l shot, was
as easily third. The first three es-
capped the interference at the start and
had the race between themselves.
The Roustabout closed favorite at Z
to 5. Fustian with Callahan in the
saddle was backed from as good as 13
to to to s. Tim Hurst closed at 10
to 1 and Money Muss receded in the
betting from to to l. The Roust-
about got away flying and showed his
heels to the balance of the field all the
way. Tim Hurst and Money Muss ran
head and head the entire distance and
in a drive Tim Hurst got the place
honors by a head. Fustian was much
the best, but was left at the post and
Callahan sent him after the field and
was pocketed on the rail all through
the stretch. But for this would have
won. Daruma looked to have a good
chance entering the stretch, but quit
when put to a drive.
Wins Three Straight
Redwood II made it three straight
when he captured the third event on
the card. Boland got him away well
and he made every post a winning one.
Sun Mark at to 1 was second all the
way in unavailing pursuit of the win
ner, but was not good enough Mounte
bank, an to 1 shot, was third all the
way. Needful backed from 10 to 5
to 1, was outrun early, but finished
like a cyclone in the stretch and would
have been third in a few more strides.
Baron Esher quit the final sixteenth.
The feature event, the handicap at
six furlongs was another good speci-
men of Secretary Boden's ability as a
Handicapped, as it brought a head fin
ish for first honors and a head finish
for show money. Don Domo was al
ways favorite at to 5. Toupee was
backed from to 1 to II to 5 and Sir
Edward closed at to 1. The latter,
sporting the colors of his new owner,
]. j. Walsh, got away well and Bull
man hustled him heard all the way and
at the end outrode Kunz on Toupee
and got the race from Toupee Don
Domo was third all the way, but could
never get up to the leaders and had
all to do to stall off Cazador, which
finished fast after being outrun early.
Favorite Is Beaten
Joyner was made the to 1 favorite
for the fifth race. Desmages closed at
to 1 and Bauble was backed down a
point, to close at to 1. The first two
went out and set a heart breaking pace
with Desmages a length in front of
Joyner all the way to the eighth pole,
where Joyner moved up on equal terms
with the leader and with both boys
whipping and driving hard Desmages
proved the gamest and got the verdict
by neck. In a sharp struggle all
through the last sixteenth Bauble out
gained Lucrece for the show money.
Stella A was heavily played and after
showing little early speed quit.
Through overconfidence Jockey Ross
tossed off the race on Taylor George in
the sixth event. Taylor George was a
1 to favorite. Elfln King closed at
10 to 1 and Gambol was played from as
good as 40 to 20 to 1. Elfin King got
away flying with Taylor George at his
heels and Gambol two lenghths away.
Turning into the stretch TAYLOR
George took the lead and at the pad
dock gate was length in front of FL
fin King and appeared winning easily,
and Ross was only watching the out
side of the track when Clark got King
going again and beat Taylor George
to the wire. Ross could not get the
latter going again. Gambo was an
easy third
Today's Selections
With the exception of the first and
last race this afternoon the remainder
of the card looks like a holiday pro-
gram, as the mile handicap brings out
the best horses quartered at the track
A poor lot are asked to go five and
half furlongs in the first race. Dan
Collins has been quitting in his six
furlong races, so look for him to last
this route today and earn brackets
Willie Gregg will be the star danger
here and may beat the top one. Ell
Bernardo will be serious contender
all the way and may beat the top ones.
Little Gregg and Parting Jennie may
upset calculations and beat them all.
Swagerlator has only to repeat his
good race of yesterday to win the Sec
ond race today, as he has the speed of
the bunch and is a quick breaker.
Banward is a fair sort of colt, but will
have to do his best to beat the top one.
Barney Oldfield and Connie NJ. figure
TO have the show money between them.
Gilpin is a good horse right now and
may make 1t four straights by captur-
ing the third race today.
Madden looks to be his most danger
Gus contender and will probably give
him a stiff argument for first honors.
Josie's Jewel and George e. Miner
end of the purse.
Sir Edward won the handicap yester-
day in such fast time that he should
repeat and win today again. The Way
land entry, Ampedo and Tartan, should
go well all the way, as they are both
speedy. Cello will have a look-in all
the way and it would be no surprise if
he would run a good race and beat
them all. Maxnar and Chimney Sweep
perform better on heavy or sloppy
track.
Netting, Phyz and Viona look to
have the fifth race between them, and
If they run to form should finish in
the order named. Lisbia is about due
TO come to life today and bears watch
ing in the betting.
About the worst lot that ever faced
the starter at Ascot this season are
carded to go five furlongs i'm the sixth
event. Form and figures count for
little, as jockeys and post positions
will have 10 be taken into consider
alton. Katie Crews, a recent arrival
from Oakland, has a world Of early
speed and is a quick breaker, so look
for her TO about win. Comas has been
