A large crowd journed to Ascot yes.
terday to battle with the bookies They
had about an equal break two favor
ties rewarded the short-price players
and a second choice and three 6 to
shots gladdened the hearts of the long
shot pikers.
Thirteen selling platers faced the
barrier In the first race, with Bologna
as favorite at 215 to 1, and Canopian
second choice at 10 to 5 and 8 to l.
After some delay. caused chiefly by
the choices, Dwyer sent them away to
a poor start with Bologna, Allerion and
Sun Mark in the front, while Canopian
was away almost last. Booker whipped
the latter and moved on even terms
with the leaders, but the early effort
told on him and Bologna won handily
from Allerion, which was an s to
shot. Canopian and Sun Mark fought
it out the last sixteenth for show
which went to Canopian.
Airs and Norfolk both opened at to
1. A heavy play on Elancer caused the
favorites' price to recede to 2ia to |,
when a heavy commission sent Airs
price down to to at post time and
Norfolk's to 31b to /. Greene closed
at to l, while Elancer stayed steady
at to 1. Off to good start McDan-
4, iel sent Norfolk to the front and
opened up a gap of length. Airs was
second the first part of it, but was
shut off and Preston had to go around
the leaders. Norfolk just did last to
win from Airs. which beat Greene a
nose for the place. The finish was so
close that the judges were the only
ones in a position to place them. 1t
was strictly a three horse affair all
the way.
Cotilion was made the fayorite in
the third race at even money, while
Jack Adams opened at to l.
heavy play sent his price to to l and
the price on Cotillion went to to D,
when the stable money put in an ap-
pearance and she went to the post at
even money. Los Angeleno was al
ways as good as 3 to l, While Freesias
was held at 20 to l.
Perry Wickes. with T. Dean, was
the leader for six furlongs, with Jack
Adams second and Cotillion third. Los
Angeleno was trailing far behind. The
leaders stopped on the far turn and
Cotillion looked an easy winner. When
Los Angenelon challenged the Bonsack
mare and Booker had to ride her out.
Los Angeleno hung trif1e the last
fifty yards. FreeSlaS easily was tIlllu'
stopped badly.
There were tips galore in the fourth
race. Tartan opened at to 5. but was
hammered down to even money. Inc
stable connections then sent 1t on w.
H. Carey, and he closed at ftves, back
ed from to /. Don Hamilton then
was backed down to favorite at TO o.
while Tartan went to as good as TO
+. All this time a slow but steady
play caused Milshora's price to go to
10 to l. backed from five points higher.
The start was ragged, rs the as
sistant starter did not let Don HAM
ilton's head go in time and Royal ben
swerved into Milshora. Tartan took
the lead with Carey second, the 9th
ers strung out. At the turn for home
Carey came on to win handily from
Tartan. In a drive Milshora beat Roy
al Ben a head for show honors.
First this one then that one was
handed out as the good thing in the
maiden race. Several horses were
backed down couple of points, but
st. Adams closed the faVorite at to
1. Remember was backed from 10 to
to /. Long Nick was the first to
show out of the bunch with ST. AL
bans second and Remember third. The
latter took the lead then end won
easily from st. Adams. which dogged
it badly under the whip. Happy Rice
came from far back and was easily
third. The others were beaten off. In
her last race the winner was beaten off
but yesterday she was up close all the
way.
Azora, backed from to to l. won
the sixth race, but scored a lucky vic
tory, as Lotta Gladstone, the pace
maker, went wide at the turn for home
and Boland shot the Falsetto filly
through small opening and she was
doing her best to stall off Betsey at
the end. Lotta Gladstone tired in the
stretch, but had enough left for the
show.
James Blute and r. F. Carman had
the laugh on those who used their
little hammers and who often told
Blute and Carmen they We're handed
a lemon when they bought W. H.
Carey for $50OO The present owner
and trainer of Carey more than Won
him out yesterday and have a good
fresh horse which will win again.
