Events-Robert Mitchell
Takes Last Race


the card at Ascot yesterday afternoon,
and the hooties had to resort to their
strong boxes several times, as the
public played havoc with the winners.
Four favorites and two heavily
backed second choices rewarded the
form player. A large crowd was pres
ent to witness the sport, but there
were no close finishes, as the winners
in each race won easily
Mary Glenn opened UP favorite for
the first race at even money Susie
Christian was held at 4 to 1 and Hattie
Carr was backed from as good as 40
to to 10 to 1 at post time, and was
especially heavily backed for show,
closing at to after 6 to l was to
be had.
The start was good and "Puddin' I"
Mcdaniel sent the favorite out to the
front with Suavita second by n head.
They ran this way till the stretch,
where Mary Glenn went on and won
handily. Susie Christian, outrun early
came with rush, but was doing her
best at the end to stall off Hattie Carr,
which finished like a shot Joyner
backed from to to 1, showed good
performance, but was short, as he tired
badly in the stretch.
The second event was a race of good
things. Cadichon was played from 6
Theo. Case were backed from 90 to
to 1. Gold Spot closed at 20 to 1
and Piquet receded in the betting from
2h to to l. The latter made the
pace for six furlongs with Cadichon
a length behind. Luckett was running
third with Gold Spot a head away.
Turning into the stretch CadiChon
took the lead and was ridden out to
stall off Gold Spot which would have
won but for being cut off on the far
turn. Piquet was ridden out to save
third money. Morendo and Theo Case
showed nothing to warrant the heavy
backing and both went to the post sore.
The next favorite to make good was
Kiter. which was held at G to in
the betting. Common Sue was second
choice at 3 to 1 and the Bauer entry,
Lady Kitty and Illusion, were II to
l. Common Sue and Lady Kitty set
the pace for the first half with Kilter
three lengths away.
In the stretch Knapp sent the favor
ite on and he won easily. Common
Sue was hard ridden the final fifty
yards to save place honors from 1llu-
sion, which, outrun early, finished res
olutely.
Don Domo and Sanfara closed about
equal choices for the fourth event at
to .. Platoon was backed from s
to Az to 1 and Ed Ball was played
to to / from 12 to l. Sanfara was
the first to show, with Don Domo
second.
on the turn the Gray Ghost took the
lead and won as his rider pleased
Sanfara was hard ridden all through
the stretch to save the place from Ed
Bail, which came like a shot at the
end. Platoon showed a flash of early
speed, then quit
The "dago" horse. Givonni Balerio,
captured the fifth race, after being
backed from 4 to 1 to II to 5. Bologna
receded from to 5 to II to and
l. The others were practically un-
backed. Givonni took the lead and
after running Mazapan into submission
had enough left to finish two lengths
ahead of Bologna, which was third all
the way.
Bribery was shouldered out at the
start but closed resolutely and out
gained Mazapan for show honors.
A genuine good thing was put over
when Robert Mitchell took the last
event of the day. Opening at to l
the heavy play soon forced his odds to
2h to l. Hi Caul Cap was backed
from 21a to to s to favorite and
j. V. Kirby closed at s to l after l.
to was to be had at one time.
EXpedent was backed down point
TO close at As. Robert Mitchell took
the lead and was never headed, Win
ming as his rider pleased. Hi Caul
Cap was second all the way and had
no excuses. ]. V. Kirby ran third
throughout, but Mcdaniel was riding
him hard to be third, as EXpedient
finished like a cyclone through the
stretch. This one will win soon over
81 longer route.
Jockey Knaack was set down ten
davs bv the starter for bad behavior
at the post on Lydia Wrouseman.
Jockey Preston piloted three winners
