MONTGOMERY
GOES TODAY
LOOKS TO HAVE MORTGAGE ON
THIRD NUMBER
Handicap at One Mile Brings Out q
Nice Field, and Weight Allot-
ments Make II an Open
Race
BY IRVING II. CLEMENT

With the exception of the third race
the hardest card of the season has been
arranged for this afternoon. The handi-
cap, at a mile, brings out a good field. and
the weights have been allotted nicely,
which makes 1t a very open affair.
Montgomery looks to have the third
number at his mercy, and should tow
rope his field.
The first. race brings out large field
of 9-year-olds, and they are a mixed lot
so he on the lookout for good things In
this race. Godfather has lot OF early
speed and has been carrying 1t so Wen
that he is my selection as the winner.
Bambro is a good looking colt and needed
his last race to put him on edge, so look
for him to run an improved race ana De
close up at the finish. Barney Oldfield is
always there when they get under the
wire and he may drop in third position
today again. Karodo will have look In,
as he is a nice sort of horse. OF the new
ones. Sparkles, Suzerian and Sombro are
best.
Walsh will send two nice fillies to the
post in the second race, and II they meet
with good racing luck look like the ones
to beat, as they are fast breakers at the
barrier. Madeline Musgrave made such
HIle showing III lci hSDAh A'9hAOAA~S
she will be a dangerous fuctor all the
way today and may beat the top ones.
Bold can do better than she has shown,
and if she performs to work Will make
them all run. Tho Sc sporting colors for
the first time that have chance on work
are Silk Hose and Lady Quality. Watch
the market on these two.
1t looks like Montgomery, the $4,000
beauty, all the way, as he outclasses this
t~I I'd anH mot
to win. ]. r. Laughrey oks easily sec
ond best. as he has only Twins to beat
for the place. The others have only an
outside chance to get any part of the
purse.
Fourth Is Best
The banner race of the day is the
fourth, which will bring forth fine field
OF handicap material. Orilene, with her
light impost, Is the one 1 favor, and II
given a good ride will probably be re-
turned winner. Marster ran clever race
with Rifleman and Stanley Fay, but he
takes up weight which may anchor him.
should be second Mary f. and Ampedo
should fight 1t out for show honors, and
Mary may get the peep money.
The hardest race of the day is the NTH,
and post positions and riders VIII count,
as they start near the turn. Rip Rap,
Avontellus and Gorgalette figure very
close and they may finish in the order
named. The Dago horse, Giovanni Bal
eric, may do the trick today again, as he
has early speed, and II nothing goes out
with him he may last the route. Med
ding Daisy and Ed Sheridan both should
go well.
velma c. has an excellent chance TO
earn brackets in the sixth race, as she
has a world of early speed and should
carry 1t the five furlong route. Inspector
Bird Is nice filly, but she does not per-
form to her morning trials. She may
take a notion to run today and trim
Velma C. Nellita ran a fine race behind
Barbette and finished fast. Should finish
among the first three. Margie ID. and
Louis Cavanaugh are outsiders that
should be contenders on what they have
shown In their morning workouts.
