Ascot will be the mecca of race devo-
tees today, as the fourth running of the
Ascot Derby is to occur. one of the
best fields that ever cantered to local
barrier will race the starter for this
classic event of the season.
Colonel Jack, with Knapp in the sad
die. may go to the post favorite, as
the foremost bookmakers tgure MN
best In the heavy going which will pre-
vail today.
The Colonel possesses all the quail
ties of q good race horse, can easily
be rated and has speed in keeping with
any of those entered. This one is The
Herald's selection.
Arimo will have Moriarty up in the
event that Radtke rides Black Mate

entry. Arimo is very fast and Jim
Blute will send him to the post fit
as careful training can prepare him.
He must run the race of his life, how
ever, to head the top one at even
weights and over distance.
Ampedo will sport the colors of John
Brink and will carry Harris in the sad
die. Both top horses have beaten him.
time after time and should apparently
do so again.
Ampedo will be lucky to secure third
place, as ]. r. Laughrey is to have
that good rider w. Dugan in the sad
die.
Since donning the silks of his new
owner, w. A. Porter, Laughrey won
from a good field of handicap horses
last Saturday. Whether he can run
under III pounds and head Colonel
Jack and Arimo is a question which
will be decided this afternoon.
Edwin T. Fryer is the star danger
and dark one of the race. He has been
given a special prep" with this event
in view and though not of class, is
game, and with Bullman up, should do
some tall running over the long route.
Molesey is a small animal and looks
to have but an outside chance with
124 pounds above.
Owner j. A. Bennett is not certain of
starting, as he believes it will be diff
cult for tho gelding and may ruin his
chances in eastern classics to be run
this summer.
Black Mate has never gone the dis
tance and consequently cannot be
given much consideration
Good Card Arranged
In addition to the Derby there are
five other we'll balanced fields which
will start.
Good old Don Domo is to be seen in
the first event and if he runs back ito
his race of yesterday will be very hard
to catch, as he has never been in better
the distance, as he was palpably short
yesterday, the run doing him much
good.
Livius should be a hard one to keep
from the money in this sort of going.
Ampedo may start in the Derby and if
not should run second to Don Domo.
The Carman entry Martha Jane and
Magazine, stand out prominently in the
second race and may finish one, two
Creston may split the pair but must
show some wonderful Improvement
The Schreiber entry has put an out
side chance only to finish in the trio
The handicap at a mile is a very
open affair, as every one entered has
a chance at the weights which are
given. Ortlene will go well at mile
in this sort of underfooting and may
win. Wrenne calls for heavy track
and should be there at the finish.
j. f. Donohue will come like cy-
clone into the stretch and may get uT
in time to beat them all. Reservation
travels better over a longer course
Molesey has n good chance, but may
start in the Derby.
Illusion, King Ahab and Banlada
have the fifth between them and figure
so closely that 1t is difficult to space
them. May finish in the order named
Susannah must not be overlooked alto.
gether as she likes the heavy track.
The sixth event is a hard one, so fal
as selecting is concerned, because o
the large field. Confessor is a quicl
breaker and likes the mud. Rodofo is
also keen for the softness and shoulC
be bang up second. Antara, Mary
Glenn and Susie Christian may fgh
it out for show hOnors.
