Large Fields of Selling Platers Will
Have an Inning This After
noon at Santa Anita
Park
BY IRVING B. CLEMENT

While the card for this afternoon
does not boast of quality there is
quantity galore in most of the fields,
finishes and many upsets may be looked
for
A fair lot of three-year- will go
over the seven-furlong route in the
opening race of the day. Sparkles ran
a good second to Pau De ORC and will
like the route better today. Wise Child
ran as if short in his last two races,
and they should do him good. Bellar-
ius and Diamonito are good colts.
Onagua, Montclair and Waldorf are
consistent performers.
Nine clever two-year-olds are en-
tered in the second race and 1t is a
most open affair, as there is little diff
ference in poundage. Paradise Queen
is a rapid breaker and Burns will ride
her. Antioch is very fast and is al
ways there when the purse is divided.
Madeline Musgrave usually runs a good
consistent race. Silk Hose-Dugan
ridas-does not run to her work. Walsh
has two clever fillies entered.
A mixed lot of unplaced horses go
in the third race, so If you have pad
dock friend get his advice before spec
ulating.
Don Domo to Start
The gray ghost, Don Dono, will GO
in the fourth, selling event, and Pres
ton will be the pilot. This is poor lot
opposed to him. Lady Vashti ran a
good race Tuesday. McChord showed
speed his only start here. Prince Fred
erick was heavily played Saturday to
beat better horses. Bauble ran good
race after a long let-up in training.
The limit number allowed to face the
barrier in an overnight event will &c

Meddling Daisy ran two fair races
since sporting the colors of p. L. Chinn
Rama has the speed of the lot. Taos
prefers heavy track. Sherry works
well. Bonnie Prince Charlie has been
