An unusually attractive card of seven
goers' with the handicap the feature
event Next in Importance is the two
year-old number which brings out sew
eral new oneSN and there may be Colin
in the lot. 1$h balance of the program
brings out the best horses in their re-
spective classes.
The first race looks like a battle royal
between Red Bill, Airs and Anna May.
Bill was unfortunate in his last race,
when he ran into the fence, and should
mold on long enough today to gather the
long end of the purse. Airs is a fast
nlly, but can hardly beat Bill and will
have all she can do to save place honors
from Anna May. The latter is fast and
acted as If short in her last race. The
others will have TO show something be-
fore they can be considered with a chance
here.
Horace II. ran a good race on New
Years day and with race already under
his belt Improvement can be looked for
and he should win. The Walsh babies
are fit and ready and with good racing
luck one of them should place. Queen
Grove is the best of the two on work
Fred Maier and High Ormonde both have
excellent chances.
If Blondy starts back today there is
no reason why he should not win as he
has speed galore. and with an even break
will be hard to beat. Timothy Wen can
do better than his last two outs and
he should be the contender all the way
Canique is a clever trick, but will prob
ably have to be content with the show
in this race.
Sainrida bears watching, as she works
well and is considered good mare. Nell
lie Racine and Bon Vivant have no earth
ly chance here.
Dazzle Opens Gap
Secretary Smith made a very clever
weight arrangement for the handicap,
and 1t is an open affair. Frank Flittner
beat this bunch before, and if he can
shoulder the extra poundage may be re-
turned the winner. Marster, on his clever
race in the Rose selling stake, when he
met with lot of bad racing luck. should
be a dangerous factor all the way and
may beat Flittner. Col. Jack IS a much
improved horse and should go well
enough to stall off Lisaro and Edwin
Gum to be third. Sir Edward should go
WELL but prefers a shorter distance.
Probably the hardest race of the day
is the fifth, which brings out fair lot
of three-year- olds. Lackfoot, Harvel,
Baboo and Laudable figure very close,
and riders and post positions will have
to be considered. Harvel will set the
pace, and as Lackfoot beat him before
should do so again. Baboo and Laudable
are clever tricks over the six furlong
route and they both have an excellent
chance to beat the top ones. Grindstone
and Smirker are outsiders that should go
we'll May finish in this order: Lackfoot,
Harvel. Baboo.
The sixth race is an open affair. Preen
ran as if short his last out and that
race should put him on edge to carry
his superior speed the seven-furlong
route. Sir Edward If he goes here in
stead Of in the handicap, win have
good chance, and with good racing luck
is liable to put 1t on Preen. Critic and
Pretension will probably fight it out for
show honors and Critic should get them.
Kirkfeld Belle, if she gets away from
the barrier, will take a lot of beating,
as she is fast. She is 10 cinch, as Babe
Kiefe is a fast trick and may set such
fast pace and last the distance. Pro-
life, on figures. looks to hold the balance
safe, as there is not much but Common
Sue to beat.
