BY JAY DAVIDSON.
Glass will not be as much in evidence
this afternoon at Santa Anita as it was
yesterday, but six well-filled races have
been carded for the edification of those
who attend and some good ones will
go to the post. There is no feature
event on the card, and four selling
races and one maiden scramble, with
ore purse affair, will complete the bill.
The first race is for 2-year-olds at
five and a half furlongs. Friend Harry,
from the Alvey stable, and Sir Alves-
cot, owned by R. F. Carman, stand out
so prominently as the real eontenders
for the purse that none of the others
seems to have much of a look in.
Friend Harry is a high class 2-year-old,
with only one losing race to his credit,
and he is highly regarded by his owner
and trainer. He cost a lot of money
about $4,000, few weeks ago, and is
about due to win some of It PACK.
Alvey thinks so well of him that ne
preferred him to Jeff Bernstein. He is
fit and ready, and it is difficult to t1g-
IRE how anything can beat him. Sir
Alvescot also is a high class juvenile
and is a great weight carrier. He mas
been working in manner that lndl-
Gates that he is ready to run another
smashing sgood race. He should be
close up when the wire is reached.
Anderson is another crackerjack that
figures to have a chance, and on races
in the north should be no worse than
third Madeline MusgraYe, Traffic and
Modena were excellent performers here
last spring, but hardly figure with the
three already named. The finish should
be Friend Harry, Sir Alvescot and An
derson.
Animus Figures Alone
Animus figures like a juicy good
thing at any old price to win the Sec
Dnd race, a journey of one mile. on
his eastern form he should romp at
will. and he has been here long enough
to get over the long trip across the
continent, while his works have been
eminently satisfactory. Progress is so
speedy and good now and has been
showing such great trials in daily work.
outs that he seems to hold the others
safe. Progress may stick for the dis
tance. although he naturally is
sprinter. Uncle Henry is a grand
weight carrier and is good right now.
He will bear watching and may be bet
ter than third at the wire, although
that is where he belongs in this COM
pany. Ed Ball has been running some
nice races up north and never was
better in his life but he will have an
awful hard time of winning anything
here. Proper is a has been, but has
been doing well in workouts and may
be good enough to beat some of the
others. He looks like the best long
shot chance of the day. The order OF
finish should be Animus, Progress,
Uncle Henry.
Tartar Maid Is the Glass
The third race is a seven-furlong
dash for 3-year- oldS, and Tartar Maid,
on recent eastern form, seems to hold
the edge on the others She has ac-
quired the winning habit and in COM
pany as ordinary as that which opposes
her today she should tincan with ease.
Orifiamb is the one she must beat, and
with the weights easily arranged he
should outfoot all the others and looks
the best for any surprise that may
occur. Both have been working beau
tifulIy and seem to be at their best
form just now, which should mean a
pretty race. L. c. Widrig has such
fine burst of speed over this distance
that he may be troublesome, but it
looks like third place, and no better,
for him. Orcagna is the only other
one that has a look-in. The finish:
Tartar Maid, Oriflamb, L. c. Widrig
The Sultan on the Bit
It looks like The Sultan had been
dropped into a soft spot in the fourth,
six-furlong selling race. and he
should not disappoint his hackers. With
his early speed and being in the best
form of his career, he should toWrope
his field. Work and Play may be the
source of much trouble, although he
never set any worlds afire with his SUI
perior speed. At that, he figures much
the best of the others and should be
a moral cinch for the place. Monte Lu-
ellie also has been working nicely AMI
is fit and ready. With good handling
and a good start Monte should be in
the money. There is not much else in
the race and this trio should furnish
the first three without a doubt. The
finish The Sultan, Work and Play,
Monte Lucille.
King of Mist Best Bet
The best bet today is King of the
Mist in the fifth, long journey at one
and three-sixteenths miles. If there is
anything in the race against him that
can warm him up, it must be a sleeper
that never has been awake. Knight of
Ivanhoe looks second best because he
has nothing else to beat that is any
worse than himself. Old Freesias runs
a fair race occasionally and at this
distance may get some of the coin. The
finish should be King of the Mist,
Knight of Ivanhoe, Freesias.
Milpitas Very Speedy
Milpitas has only to stand up to win
the last race of the day. He has enough
speed and courage to run away and lose
this bunch of maidens and would not
be in that class now had he not broken
down in his last race. Furnace is the
one he has to beat and he is working
SO nicely that he may be troublesome.
Feminine also is showing great pros
pesrs in morning trials and should be
iHcky enough to get in the money.

may De good enough to get slice Of
the purse. The finish: Milpitas, Fur
mace, Feminine.
