after the fifth event and may not face
the barrier again this season.
The first race went to the even
money favorite, Taos which led all the
way and had enough left to stall off
Gold Ledge at the finish. The latter
lasted long enough to save the place
from Irish Mail, which was poorly
handled by Harris and should have
been closer up. Kitty Mccarthy
showed speed for a half.
Gilpin, the to favorite, found g
cinch in the second race after a run

Piquet tried hard to catch the winner,
but was not good enough. Jetsam
plodded along behind all the way. Ding
Dong II had no chance.

versal of form in the third race when
she won at the nice odds of 25 to 1,
beating Virginia Lorraine and Big
Store. Virginia set the pace all the
way. but tired the final sixteenth. Big
Store quit when put to a drive. Slip

she b1ed; but for this might have won.
Cavatina was left at the post.
What looked to be a serious accident
occurred when King of the Mist fell
after the start in the fourth race, sew
eral horses passing over him. Harris
experienced narrow escape, had his
collar bone broken and sustained
bruises about his shoulders. Desma-

ran their heads off, while Ross rated
Woodthorpe nicely until the stretch,
where he came on and won going away.

entering the stretch.

won the fifth race easily. After letting
John H and Ramona set the pace Pres

Revolt could never get up a gallop and
was ridden at the end pulling up very
lame and sore. In a hard drive Viona
just managed to nose out Ramona for
the show money. John H stopped
after going a good half.

rider in the country.
Today's Selections
The feature event on the card this
afternoon is the two mile event, which
should furnish good sport, as the three
choices figure closely.
Two-year- will start the bal
rolling in the first race and if Karodc
gets away from the barrier they will
never scent his pace, as he is very fast
Booger Red will surely beat Karodo il
the latter gets away poorly. Sister
Julia and Barney Oldfield will probably
have the show money between then
to struggle for. Talien has good
outside chance to be in the money.
The second race is for very bad lot
of three-year-old maidens and If they
run to form should finish in this order;
San Alvarado, Hazeline, Cavatina.
II good boy has the mount or
Stoessel he will have a cinch in the
third race, as he has only Bauble ano
Redwood II to beat, which he can dc
easily. Bauble will go we'll and take
the place honors from Redwood III
The latter, If he runs to his last race
Lydia Wrouseman has an outside
chance. Revolt pulled up lame yester.
day.
Avontellus won his last race over the
same distance so easily that he is my
choice in the two mile event today. HC
will have to do his best as Gold Spot
has ten pounds advantage in the
weight over the last time they met ant
will give him stiff argument. Adoni;
has been schooling over the jumps
but should beat Allopath for third
money.
Gilpin should come right back and
win today again, as he won his race sc
easily yesterday and has only Cotillior
to beat. The latter is game, but car
hardly beat the top one. Madden an6
Lille B will probably fight it out fol
the short end of the purse.
Playlit is fair sort Of a colt anG
showed by his last race that he is ir
good form, so look for him to carr
brackets today. Buna and Orelio fig,
ure very closely for the place money
and may finish in the order named. The
star danger is Tony Bonero. If he run.
