DUT Eddie Dugan down in the dope
book as the mud loving kid. Just
Il to show the natives how easy 1t is
to take care of all the Millers and
Burns in the business, Eddie provided
the real feature of the Santa Anita
card yesterday cashing the straight
tickets in three out of the five events
In which he had a mount.
Aside from Dugan's work the big
event of the afternoon was Walter
Miller's temperance before a local
audience. Miller got his start in life
at Ascot park, when he was under con-
tract to Billy Stanton, and as he has
not been here for two years the TURTLES
were anxious to watch his work. The
best Miller could do was to ! sec
ond and a third. being upon Col. White
and Jake Ward to do this well. Nettie
Hicks was his mount in the last race,
but even the premier jockey or the
country could not make this bird run.
Although but two favorites got home
in front of their fields the form players
did not fare as miserably as is their
wont when such a thing occurs, and
some way or other the pikers who line
themselves up and go under the name
of bookmakers, laid prices more in
keeping with a real race meeting. The
place and show money on everything
was way out of line, as usual, but the
straight prices were better than they
have been.
What was carded as the big race of
the day fell to AL Dunlap's good mud
der. First Peep. Despite her liking
for the going the mare was held at
eight and seven to one, Harvel get
ting the big humping below the even
money notch. Col. White, fresh from
Oakland and with Miller in the saddle,
was next in demand, with Edwin I.
Fryer and whidden the outsiders.
HarveI Shows Speed
HarveI went out of the mile chute
with his usual early speed. and opened
I'D a nice gap on the back stretch. Col.
White was next in line, and turning for
home Miller went wide, thinking to get
the better SoinS IN the center of the
track. Archibald had allowed First
Peep to trail the entire bunch for the
first three quarters of mile, and then
moved up to be third on the final bend.
He wasted no ground with the Dunlap
trick and sent her through close to the
rail. easily forging to the front to win
by two and a half lengths. Miller
managed to keep Col. White going and
was second when Harvel stopped to
third money.
The days sport opened with Sam
rida again in the favorite's position
and doing her usual stunt-failing to
earn brackets. Escamado, played
down half a point from tours, was
right at home in the mud and scored
over Canardo by half a length. The
latter finished stoutly, and beat Paul
Clifford handily for the middle portion
of the change.
Anna May turned loose her usual
early speed, and until well into the
stretch looked like the winner. Here
she backed up and Escamado, which
was second at the bend, came on with
enough to spare to stall off the flying
Canardo Paul Clifford maintained a
prominent position the entire distance
and was half a length in front of Fon-
casta at the wire.
Another odds-on favorite for baby
race went wrong in the second number.
when Hampass was trimmed by Made
line Musgrave. Annie Wells was
strong enough to negotiate the going
and land in the third hole. Madeline
was as good as five to one in some
of the books, the best post time price
on Hampass being three to five. Mus
grave got Madeline off in front and
raced with Hampass all the way, win
ming by head. Lucky Mate displayed
some nice speed but had nothing after
hitting the stretch.
Litholin's last race was forgotten by
the ringsters and Kansas Prices bird
was allowed to go to the post at eight
to one. In a rousing finish Dugan out
rode Burns, who was on Inspector
Bird, the favorite. and scored by a
head. Albion H was third.
Dugan outrides Burns
Sister Julia was elected to make the
early running, and Burns kept Inspec-
tor Bird right behind her. When Julia
had enough he brought the Bird
through on the inside. and Dugan
drove Litholin along in the better go
ing to hook up at the paddock. From
there home it was a case of riders,
Eddie proving superior to Guy by a
narrow margin. Albion H was last at
the stretch turn, but finished with a
rush and passed the other three easily.
Dugan put up another pretty ride on
Aunt Polly in the fifth race, easily
beating the twelve hounds in the six
furlong event by nearly three lengths.
BAIL and Jake Ward had a hard fight
for the place, the former scoring by
a scant head. Aunt Polly was the
legitimate favorite, with Jake Ward
getting nipped by BAIL in the final
jump Talarand was left at the
switch.
Louise Fitzgibbon, with Dugan in
the saddle, was made first choice for
the closing number. and had no trouble
at all in winning. Jillette. well sup
ported around twenty to one gained
the place verdict from Korosilaney
Grandita being trimmed a head for the
short end. The winner led all the way
