Angeleno when the Bedwell horse came
home winner in The Ascot Cup race. 1t
was a great contest for both speed ana
stamina all the way, but the gamest
and fastest one won, we'll ridden by
Jockey c. Ross, the midget rider.
Borghesi was made favorite and MS
price closed at IL to 10. Los AnBeleno
opened at to 1, but the money went
in so fast that his odds went to to l.
reeeding to 2ia to at post time. Tar
tan was we'll liked by the followers OF
John Brink and held his own at to !.
Gold Spot was the outsider at and
10 to l. 1t was four good looking
horses that pranced on the way to the
post with their jockeys sporting new
silks, and all were fit to run for
kings ransom
After a short delay Starter Dwyer
got them away perfectly with Borghesi
taking the lead, Tartan second head
behind, Gold Spot ran third and little
Ross was content to trail with Los
Angeleno. They ran this way for
mile and a quarter where Borghesi
was slightly bumped by Tartan and
dropped back and sulked. Gold Spot
and Los Angeleno moved up on equal
terms with Tartan at the five-eighths
mole. where Ross sent Los Angeleno on
and won by a length with gentle hand
ride.
Tartan was second under the whip
and ran a game race but accepted de-
feat from a better horse. Gold spot
staggered in third after Borghesi was
pulled up.
The owner and jockey received quite
an ovation as the victory was popu-
lar one, the entry being one OF the
most reliable form runners at the
track. The horse was raised by
Lucky" Baldwin and his sire Rey El
t1.I nn1n
Baldwin when he won the classic
American derby in Chicago.
H. G.. Bedwell must be given credit
for the fit condition in which he sent
the horse to the post. He bought MIN
two years ago when he was of no ac-
count and developed him into one OF
the best long distance horses in the
country, as he equaled the track record,
2:37 ga, for the distance, which is with
in a second and half of the world
record.
His owner, H. C. Bedwell comes from
Gand Junction, Colo, and witnessed
the race from the field. In an inter-
view with reporter he said that he
had his heart set on winning the clas |
sic event and felt confident for the past
week that his horse would win. Bed
we'll has made great success at
training horses, as he has been in the
business but three years.
Jockey C. Ross, the midget rider who
only weighs 76 pounds, rode perfect
race This boy is one of the most
promising lightweights at the track, |
has a good pair of hands and will take
a desperate chance in getting through |
an opening. He is a natural horseman, |
as his father j. Basequil, is the best
steeplechase rider in France, and sport
ed the colors of the Rothschilds. Ross
will ride Los Angeleno in the Thorn |
,n,oth
which is four miles, the longest dis
tance event in the country.
Besides the Ascot cup there were five !
other good events which resulted in
some close finishes and brought the |
crowd to it's feet The favorites Jared
well, as three of them managed to get
in first. Two long shots and Los An
geleno at 21a to 1 won, so the public
had a good break with the knights of
the chalk and rubber
Creston, the to choice, beat the
gate by five lengths and led all the
way but was lucky to score as Maga-
zine all but caught him the final few
jumps and with an even break would
surely have won. BOOger Red, close to
Creston most of the way, stopped at
the paddock gate, but was easily third.
Rebel quit early.
The public made Ed Ball favorite at
even money. Ormonde's Right was
second choice at to l, and Toupee and
EuripideS closed at to l each The
favorite and Euripides set a heart
breaking pace for seven furlongs with
Toupee and Ormonde's Right trailing
The pace soon told on the leaders and
Toupee moved up and looked an easy
winner, when Ormondes Right finished
like a shot and would have won in an
other jump. Ed Ball got third money
from Euripides.

ming the third race from Bologna.
Bologna led her field all the way and
appeared to be winning easily when
Kinsman, hard ridden by Radtke, fin
ished so fast that Kunz on Bologna
could not get the mare a-gong and
lost by head Foncasta was third
all the way and ran his race. Norfolk
quit after going six furlongs. Salina
showed speed and bears watching.
The handicap at mile brought the
finish of the day as three of them fin
ished so closely that the judges We're
the only ones in position to place
them. Won Tromp was favorite at 2l2
to 1. Don Domo closed at to l and
Ampedo was played from to to 1.
The start was ragged, as Arimo
wheeled into GOrgalette when the bar
rier was released. Pantoufe was a
length in front with Won Tromp and
Don Domo heads apart. They ran in
this order until the stretch, where Am
pedo came fast next to the rail, where
Radtke pinned him.
Won Tromp was inclined to loaf and
Mcdaniel rode a mastery finish and
nipped out Don Domo by a head, with
Ampedo a neck away on the rail. 1t
was the best finish Mcdaniel ever put
up on a horse Pantoufe quit badly,
as she found the route too far. Gorga-
lette finished gamely.
Phil Igoe, the TO 10 favorite, won
the sixth race easily. After Otto Price
got through making the pace Harris
sent him along and won easily. Irish
