WINS LUCKY
STAKE RACE

BE SECOND
BUMPlNo OF FAST BABY LOSES
FOR WALSH ENTRY
SchilIng Carries off Riding Honors
and Scores Brackets with His
First Four Mounts, lncIud-
ing Stake Winner

TN race marred by interference
and humping on the part of some
II of the real contenders, Aunt Ag-
gle, carrying thousands of dollars of
wise money and backed In the betting
from 10 to 1 down to skies, won the
Woodland stakes yesterday from a
clever field of babies. Lee Rose, the
hope of those who played the favorite
Walsh entry, was second and Horace
H. was third The purse was worth
$273O to r. l.. Thomas, who owns Aunt
Aggie.
From a racing standpoint the Wood
lands was a disappointment. The big
field of twelve fractious 2-year-olds
was unwieldy and gave Hoffman lot
of work, but he finally got them in line
and sent them away to a good start.
Right away there was something
doing for Ocean Maid swung into the
bunch on the outside and knocked
them off their stride, while Hayes on
Lee Rose was forced to pull up to
keep from getting in a jam. When
they were Strengthened out 1t was
found that Schilling, with his usual
ability, had kept Aunt Aggie clear of
interference, and she was leading the
bunch by two lengths.
Duke of Milan was flashed second
into the stretch, but Hayes perse-
vered with Lee Rose, and the colt re-
sponded gamely At the paddock 1t
appeared as though he had chance
to catch Aunt Aggie, but the latter
had been fortunate in her getaway ana
had plenty left to finish with. Horace
H. responded with rare courage to
Preston's urging and was fighting 1t
out with Lee Rose at the wire, being
beaten but half a length. Hayes
claim of foul was not allowed.
While Aunt Aggie was fortunate in
winning and might not have scored IN
a truer run race, her performance was
creditable in the extreme. The track
record of 4S seconds for the four fur
longs went a-glimmering when the
timers hung out figures two-fifths OF
a second under this mark, and, taken
all in all, the Magazan filly might be
able to hold her own with Lee Rose
under equal conditions.
Schilling Rides Winners
Aside from the woodlands stake the
feature of the day was Jock Schilling' s
work in the saddle. In addition TO
winning with Aunt Aggie he piloted
the bracket horse in three other num-
bers, and in every instance the boy
had following enough to warrant long
lines behind the books after each OF
his first four attempts.
Four favorites connected with the
money, and 1t was not such fortu-
nate and profitable afternoon for the
books as might have been expected.
None of the winners was better tnan
to 1, and in The stake race the
Thomas contingent dld not stop pet
ting. till the bell rang.
Senator Barrett, secured at the uls-
persal sale of Boots DurnelPs horses
in Oakland recently by Billy Mckln-
ney, made his debut in the opening
number and was easily better than
the field opposed to him. Schilling got
the statesman away from the post fly
ing and never stopped, winning from
Burt G.. Lewis by length and a half.
Halaca, a 30-to-1 shot, was third. The
winner was favorite all he time.
Shortly after the start of the race
Raleigh, the second choice, fell and
tossed Jockey Rice into the path OF
the moving field. Fortunately the boy
escaped serious injury, broken col
lar bone being all that was coming 10
him.
Dredger Scores Easily
Dredger was the post time favorite
for the second race, and after Preston
got him out of the mile chute in ad-
vance of the small field there was
nothing to it, The Yellowtail colt
was six lengths ahead of Fisher Boy,
which led Ampedo home for the middle
portion of the money.
Schilling gave Wexford swell ride
in the third, and after letting Colonei
Jack make the running until stralgn-
tened for home came on at the pad
dock and won by length. Early Tide
was there with lot of speed for halt
a mile and then backed up into third
at the wire.
with Schilling holding the ribbons,
Merlingo was backed from to down
to half that price to annex the firth,
and rewarded his hackers by beating
Avontellus at the end of the mile-and-
three-sixteenths trip by nearly two
lengths. Ellie ran a steady race all the
way and was third, with Uncle Henry,
the early runner, just out OF the
money.
When Taylor George and Pacific
Electric engaged in humping match
on the back stretch after the start OF
the sixth number there was nothing to
the event but Hidden Hand, which
Preston rushed to the front at the
barriers release and kept there all the
way. Pal was half length back at
the finish, and ran a nice race, and
Harvel was ridden into the remainder
of the purse.
Halton was a liberal priced favorite
for the closing race on the card. and
never left the result in doubt although
few flighty gambolieresses in the
stand grew nervous when Korosilaney
got close enough to make head fin
sh out of it. Jillette was third, beat
Ing I.ackfoot, which was heavily
played, out of the show.
