Good sport was provided at Ascot
yesterday afternoon. A large crowd
was present to see some close finishes
and help to relieve the bookles of some
of their cash, as three favorites, two
second choices and one outsider, won
The outsider was Balbus, who was
played heavily across the board, clos
ing at 25 to ] after as good as 40 to 1
was to be had at one time.
The most interest was centered in
the fourth race, which went to Arimo.
The winner was played heavily after
his odds reached to 1. and at post
time 2 to 1 was the best to be had.
Ampedo was the lukewarm favorite
and Kilter was backed from 10 to 6 to
/ at post time. After n short delay
Hoffman got them away well, and vi
ola made the pace with Ampedo Sec
ond and Arimo third. Turning into
the stretch Ampedo took the lead and
Mcdaniel saved ground on the turn.
For an eighth of a mile it was nip
and tuck. but "Puddin" outrode Brus
sci and won by head. That was Nc
Daniels third winning mount for the
day. Kilter easily got third money.
The Walsh entry was made the fav
orite in the first race at the opening of
the betting, but the heavy play ac
orded Turnaway made her an equal
favorite at post time. 13 to 5. Balbus
went as high as 40 to l in the betting
and was played to 25 to 1. Boland got
the good thing away we'll and won,
after a drive from Turnaway, which
was away none too we'll. Sweet Taire
quit when the pinch came. Macall
showed speed and will do to remember.
The second race was soft spot for
Sanfara, and she was made a 7 to 10
favorite. The Mist was second choice
at 4 to and Bologna closed at 10 to 1.
Preston sent Common Sue in the lead
with Sanfara a length behind. They
ran this way until the stretch, when
the favorite came on and won handily.

for the place. Common Sue quit badly
during the final fifty yards.
Niblick Wins Third
Niblick, with McDaniels in the sad
die, proved the winner in the third
race. Josie's Jewel made the pace for
six furlongs with Niblick hanging on
like a leech and Confessor third, two
lengths away. When they were
Strengthened in the stretch Niblick
drew away and in drive beat Con-
fessor. the 6 to 5 favorite, with w.
Riley sitting still in the saddle. Riders
reversed Confessor would have Won.
Josies Jewel was ridden out to save
up to the pace all the way.
Green Seal, the hot favorite for the
fifth. made his field look cheap by
opening up a gap of five lengths and
winning eased up. Mazapan was sec
ond till the eighth pole, when Koerner
on Sly Ben, came along and took sec
ond easily. In a furious drive illusion

"Puddin" McDaniels rode three con-
La, rig1a la

piece of horsemanship. "Puddin" is
now riding better than he ever did be-
fore in his career.
C. Valentine, who makes big book
in the Geld at the New York tracks,
made his initial appearance at Ascot
yesterday afternoon.
Probabilities for Today
A good program is offered to be run
off this afternoon and some Of the best
horses at the track are carded 10 face
the barrier.
An ordinary lot will face Hoffman
in the first race. the best of which
seems to be Neatncss, Roman Boy ANA
Fro Pyro. Neatness has tho speed of
this bunch and should lead an the
way. Roman Boy ard Fro Pyro should
fight 1t out Tor pace bIib snow nom
ors. Aucassin ana Mosketo have an
outside chance to be i'm the money
The baby race at three and a half
furlongs should go to Magazine, He
has always shown "A liking for dis
tance. Booger Red should beat out
Katie Rains for place
The third race is an open affair ana
almost anything is liable to win. Nor
folk ran as though short ON Saturday
and If he runs as well today he should
be returned the winner Remaw also
has a lot of speed, but can hardly beat
the top one, Red Garter VIII e" wo.
all the way and should get third money
from Flancer. The star danger here
is Kirkfield Belle as she is woriiua
well and if a good boy rides viii D.,
a dangerous factor all the way.
The handicap should go to NoI
Tromp, despite his heavy impost 4
Nfuskoday looks next best and shoul
beat out Stilicho for place money
