A large crowd attended the races dl
Ascot park yesterday and cheered
Molesey, the favorite for the Coronado
Beach selling stakes, as he came
through the stretch and easily won.
The public had about an even break
with the knights of the chalk, as two
favorites, two second choices and two
outsiders won. The surprise of the
day was Mountebank, q 70 to l shot,
which beat Niblick, the favorite.
The first race was Il good betting
event, as the three choices shared most
of the play. Canopian opened at to
], but was played to to l, and then
receded to to / at post time. Maza-
pan was backed down point to to
/, but the heavy play on Taylor George
made her price go back to to l.
Taylor George closed favorite at 242
to 1.
1t was strictly three-horse affair.
Mazapan made the pace and in "a long
stretch drive Canopian got up in time
to win by a half length. Taylor
George was third all the way. He
found his weight trihe too much to
carry in the company he was with.
Kismet Jr. held his own in the bet
ting in the second race at 8 to l. The
Griffin entry was always as good as
to 5, while Booger Red went from 10
to 10 to at post time. on the way to
the post Creston, one of the Griffin
entry, unseated her rider and ran
away three furlongs at top speed, but
was caught and remounted. kismet
Jr. won the race all the way, with
Booger Red second.
Creston and Saucy M were fighting
it out for show money and the latter
was beaten a nose. Creston was
pinched off right at the start, and but
fn,- ic civ tla i111o oar-l
a strong argument for first honors.
Azora and Jetsam opened equal
faVorites at to 5, but the heavy play
on Azora forced her price down to 81
to at post time, while Jetsam went to
8 to 5.
Winsome Ways was backed for third.
The others were practically overlooked
in the betting. Winsome Ways opened
a gap of two lengths the first quarter,
with Jetsam second and Azora third.
Here Brussel sent the favorite to the
front and she won easily. JetSam was
as easily second best. At the end
Markie Mayer finished with rush and
got the show money.
MoIesey GaIlops
The Coronado Beach selling stakes
was the star attraction of the card
and ten of the best handicap horses
on the track faced the barrier. Mole
sey, coupled with Ed Ball as the Ben
nett entry, was favorite at Is to s.
Gorgalette was next in demand at 312
TO l. The others ranged in price from
to 40 to /.
A. Muskoday was the pacemaker for
six furlongs, where Molesey got
through on the rail and galloped home
in easy fashion. Cicely ran a cracking
good race, being second all the way
and outgamed j. F. Donohue for the
place money. A. Muskoday quit badly
in the stretch. Won Tromp ran his
race and had no excuses. Gorgalette |
did not appear to like the track. The
stake was worth $2160 net to the win
ner.
The fifth race furnished good sport
as the finish between Mountebank and
Niblick was nip and tuck affair all |
the last sixteenth. Mountebank got
up in the last stride to win. Niblicll
set the early pace, but the effort told |
on him and he had nothing left TO fin
ish with. Lucrece had no trouble to
get the show money.
A poor lot of 3-year-olds faced the |
barrier in the sixth race. Pimkin, on
the strength OF his last race, was made |
the favorite at to l, while Hazeline |
was second choice at 312 to l and Otto
Price and Star of Runnymede closed |
at IS. Tho latter took the lead at flag |
fall and never was headed, though
Harris had to shake up the filly all
through the stretch to stall off Otto
Prices determined challenge.
Pimkin, the favorite, came third.
There wa lot of humping in the
stretch and Gold Heather was the
worst sufferer but for this the VanI
Dusen fill. might have shown.
