Garter, as DR.. Crook had him beaten
at the paddock gate, but Radtke hustled
him and he got the verdict by a nose
from King Ahab with Norfolk and DR..
Crook heads apart. Halton, the even
money favorite, ran a bad race.
Three claims by the following own
ers were made for Halton: G. T. Boots,
]. NJ. Stokes and r. B. Allen. 1t was
decided by lot and Allen got the horse.

IN the third race and was backed from

ually and won going away. Mountebank
finished with a rush and easily took
place money from Desmages, Wh1ch
showed q good turn of speed and lasted
long enough to save show money from

for $500.
Ormonde's Right had an easy time
of it in the fourth race. He got away

for the fifth race and The Roustabout
and Taxer closed about equal choices

bout and Taxer set fast pace, there
by running their chances and Geo. e.
Miner caught them tiring in the stretch

Today's Probabilities
A card that should result in good
sport has been provided by Secretary
Boden for this afternoon. The stake
year-olds at five furlongs. The handi-
cap for four-year-olds and upward will
be a good race, as two-mile events are
always popular with the public.
The first race is for three-year- -olds,
and if they perform to past perform
ances should come under the wire in
this order: Taos, Big Store, Ed Tracy.
Rankara. and Kamsack have good out
side chances to finish in the money.
The purse race, the second event on
the card, is very hard one to select
the winner for. F'ustian is in grand
form just now and he may be the one
to capture the first prize. Platoon
figures close up and if anything beats
the top one this is the most likely one
to do it. Toupee will go well, but he
can hardly beat the raters. Roya
Rogue and Euripides have a chance to
be among the first three.
Ampedo looks to have a shade the
best of it in the fourth race, as he
was jammed into the fence in his last
race. But for this he might have
beaten Won Tromp and Don Domo
Look for him ~ win today. Vor
Tromp won his last race in such easy
fashion that he should pack his heavy
impost and give the one that beats
him stiff argument. Don Dome
should beat A. Muskoday, although the
latter may beat him, as he is an in
and outer. ]. c. Glen will probably
go In the second race.
Bulbus may take the Santa Monica
stakes, as he is a good game colt anC
likes a route. He beat the Carmen pail
before and should repeat. Booger Rec
will set fast pace, but may find the
distance too far.
The two-mile race may go to Cotil
lion. Although she never has beer
asked tc go over a distance of TIVE
miles before she shows in her race
that she likes route. Gold Spot look
next best and if anybody but Neuber
rides her she will have a chance II
beat the top one.
Avontellus will go well over thi
route and may be in the money
Freesias should go we'll and Jack it'll
may be close up at the finish.
The sixth race is very open affair
If La Chata shows the same stamin
she exhibited in her last race she ma,
last the route and gather first honors
Lone Hand should again place, as Ii
Chata beat her once before. SLY Be-
Is the dangerous one here and If h
vuns one Of his good races may upse
calculations by winning. Tramator an
Black Eyes have an excellent chanc
20 be in the money
