HEATHER SCOTT LEADS OFF

HEATHER SCOTT LEADS OFF
The opener, a three and half fur
long dash for two-year- -olds, developed
into a hot contest between Heather
Scott. who had been played down from
10 70 Z. and Jeremiah, the favorite.
Both got away flying and ran head and
head TO the stretch. where Heather
Scott outgained the favorite and went
on to win by nearly a length. Irish
Nike, also played for a good thing"
from 10 to 6. was third all the way.
Wilmore and Adena, the Griffin pair.
were cut OF right at the start when
Tommy Clark took the winner across
IN front Of them, and both thereby lost
sn chance and finished out of the
money. Wilmore made up considerable
ground. but was several lengths away
from the money at the end. The con-
hdence with which the winner was
backed showed that somebody ex-
pected him TO make q better showing
than on his recent outs.
Hall & Marshall recouped their losses
on The Reprobate, the Inverness gelding
that has failed them on several previous
occasions, when that horse galoped
home an easy winner over the bad lot
that made up the field in the second
race. The Reprobate was always well
supported around to 1. Williams,
getting him away IN the first flight,
followed Wheatstone, the early pace
maker. TO the turn, where he took the
lead when Ramsey's horse grew leg
weary. Emma Reubold. who went to
the post favorite sas the result of an
il-advised plunge, Ioomed up at the
head Of the stretch, but faded away
after passing the paddock and probably
was short The Reprobate only had
10 gallop to win by five lengths, with
Nincentio second and the 40 to L shot
Riveral third The latter beat Black
thorn, on whom there had been heavy
play, head for the show.
GALLOP FOR BRUSH UP.
William CahiTs Ben Brush mare.
Brush Up, scored with the greatest
ease as an odds-on favorite in the
fourth. Walter Miller was UP and
toyed with his field all the way. DR..
ScharR essayed to run out with the
favorite in the early stages, but the
mare shook him OF at Will and won
galiOping by three lengths. Vanderbout
brought the 100 to 1 shot Galice from
rehiud 10 a distant but easy third.
The Skipper showed some early speed,
with Hildebrand in the saddle, but
stopped badly in the stretch, as in his
previous races. Hainault had only a
flash Of early speed.
Another good thing" went through
as expected in the fourth, a six-furlong
sprint. in which the Bsnnockburn mare
Burnolette, with Tommy Sandy in the
saddle. came from behind in the stretch
drive and won by a length from Chief
Whitman, the pacemaker. Both of
these horses had been played, to the
neglect Of Shady Lad, the favorite
Burnolette was as good as to / at
one stage of the betting, butswent to
the post at to 2. Chief Whitman was
backed down from Z to to 13 to 8.
Shady Lad just did beat Major Tenny
for fvf mo h2 n
early speed but went TO pieces after
hitting the stretch and does not appear

Of the meeting.
LUCIAN ALL THE WAY.
Lucian galloped several lengths in
front of his field all the way in the
fifth, at a mile and twenty yards.
Graham was up and the result was

under the impetus Of a tremendous
plunge 10 13 70 10. Metlakatla was
played down TO 3 from and then went
back to g to 2. She barely managed to
save the place from the resolutely clos
ing Lazell, ridden by a stable boy.
Graphite, opening at 2, receded to 5
and ran in accord with the betting
Looming up at the head Of the stretch
he faded away IN the drive to the
wire. I'm Joe ran forwardly until he
was cut down.
Al tindley, the to 5 favorite, won
the final event of the card in an i'm
pressive manner Mcbride got him
away In front. shook off Pescadero in
the first quarter, and went on to win
all the way, with Rose Cherry an easy
but distant second. Johnny Lyons. who
had been heavily played to down the
favorite, was slow TO get going, and
after making UP ground tired at the
end and saved third money from
the fast coming Altanero. Miller's
mount by short head. Convent Bell
ran disappointingly. showing little speed
