terday were amply compensated as
three favorites, two second choices and
a heavily backed horse at to | came
under the wire first
Won Tromp, after being backed from
as good as to l to to /, won the
first race after a desperate drive with
Sly Ben. The latter was favorite and
ran cracking good race and, although
Koerner put UP very good finish on
him, the Keen castoff was a better
horse. Lord of the Heath, with Bull
man up, was third. and If he had not
been interfered with would have been
n sharp contender for first money. Lot
tn Gladstone and lei Bernado showed
their usual good turn of early speed,
but when the pinch came both stopped
under the whip.
Los Angeleno was made the even
money favorite, but at post time to
10 was to be had. Komombo was
backed from 100 to down to so to l
and was especially heavily played for
third. Freesias was Z TO l and was
also heavily played to place and show.
At the turn for home Los Angeleno
came away from his field and won
handily from Freesias, which closed
with rush. Komombo away badly,
was taken the shortest route and just
did set up in time to show Needful
and Sherry both looked to be danger.
Gus contenders at the home stretch, but
quit badly.
The second good thing of the ofter-
noon to go through was Taylor George,
which closed at to l after s to 1 was
to be had at one stage of the betting.
Nuns Yelling came in for a heavy play
and was backed into favoritism at !

his mount through the bunch and never
was headed, to win easily. Nuns Veil
ing was second turning into the stretch.
but when Koerner used his CAD she
stopped and Prince Magnet and Fon-
casta beat her out, the latter being
headed a nose under the wire for place.
Waterbury was voted the good thing
of the day and was heavily backed at
to and to 10. Zethus was second
choice with Greene. both being to /.
The others ranged in price from 8 to 1
to 60 to 1. Waterbury took the lead,
with Greene second, while Zethus,
which was slow to break, tarried in
the rear on the rail. Mcdaniel slipped
up on the inside and when Waterbury
went a trifle wide rushed his mount
through and in q long drive just did
beat the Carman beauty.
Greene was doing his best to stall off
San Alviso, which would have been
third in a few more strides. Jockey
Harris had his first mount in this race
for his new employer, r. F. Carman,
when he rode Waterbury, w. A. Nc
Kinney sold his contract to Carman
which has a year and a half to run
The terms were private.
Niblick, after a long stretch drive
got up in time to beat out Lucrece ant
Lord Provost for the fifth race 1t wa!
very good horsemanship and courage
that Brussel displayed on Lucrece. HI
slipped through an almost impossibl,
opening in the stretch and in a hare
drive nosed out Lord Provost for the
place Sunray was heavily played il
this race, but stumbled at the eightl
pole and almost went down.
Allerion In the sixth race made his
field look cheap by taking the lead anG
winning all the way. Banlada was as
easily second best, while Ray Egar
and Joan of Arc were fighting it out
for the third money.
All Levy, the New York bookmaker
was at Ascot yesterday for the first
time. He will probably make books
here this winter.
Selections for Today
The Hollywood handicap will be the
feature event Of a very attractive care
that is up for decision at Ascot park

midnight oil when he arranged the
weights for the handicap. Five OF
those entered won their last outs but
under different weights.
Cello showed his old form wher
he won his last out by neck from
j. F. Donohue. He takes up an ad-
ditional eight pounds. Dusty Miller
ran his best race when he finished thirC
behind Cello and carries the same
w Trn,
tan easily in his last race and if the
track is lightning fast this afternoon
he will be a hard horse to beat
