HazIethorpe Well Backed and Takes
Opening Number from koeniaen
Louise and Nuns Yelling.
Finishes Are Open

Three favorites, a couple of well
played good things and a brace of out
siders conspired to make things pleas
ant at Santa Anita yesterday, and the
bookies were deprived OF lot of the
coin they had salted away for the Get
away stakes. Big fields were the rule
all afternoon, and in most instances the
finishes were of the open variety.
Hazelthorpe opened at liberal price
in the first race, but the odds had not
been posted long before the sharpshoot-
ers began firing From to 2 to 8 to
they plugged the money in, and Hazel
thorpe went to the post strong fa-
vorite.
Jilette, despised by the talent. went
out and made the pace, and 1t looked as
though she would stick. This was not
the case, however. and in the stretch
Hazelthorpe, which had entered the go
ing in second place, went by to score
an easy victory. Jilette stopped, and
Koeningen Louise and Nuns Yelling
gathered the change in the order
named.
Daily, favorite for the second number,
never left the result in doubt after she
broke we'll from the seven furlong
chute, She led all the way and at the
end was nearly two lengths in front of
the fast finishing Barney Oldfield. With
Nelson up Eonite had a hard time re-

Gossiper II was the talk for the third,

came like a shot and after short brush
made Gossiper quit. Matador was back
in the flock, but shook them off and also
beat the favorte.
Hereafter Fails Backers
The talent signaled Hereafter's return
to good standing by bucking her into
the faVorite's berth and playing her at
s to 5. She got away in the bunch and
was ntver in the hunt the winner turn
ing up in La Chata, Z to l shot. Hal
ton was second and Aunt Polly third.
Billy Mayham made the pace, but quit
even faster than Is his wont Just to
show his disposition some owner
claimed Hereafter causing her former
owner to lose quite bit of money on
the deal
The talent could find nothing better
than Atilla to play as favorite in the
fifth race, and when they were done do
ing this the cush began to float in on
Rama, sending both plugs to the post
on even terms. Neither got anything.
for Atilla was away last and could
never regain the ground lost, and Rama
never did amount to much. Audubon
led all the way and won without much
trouble, with Frascuelo a nose in front
of Mountebank for the place.
Cardinal was looked on as the real
good thing on the card, and was heav-
lily played at a short price. He won the
easiest victory of the day by taking the
lead at the start and galloping along to
lead his field by four lengths at the
wire. Little Wicky and Franciscan
were away in a contending position and
divided the money between them when
John A. Mallon retired to the rear.
Ed Sheridan was played for good
thing in the closing number, but At
kins, at II to 1, spilled the beans by
sticking a nose In front of him to the
wire. Ormonde's Right finished with
his usual rush and was distant third.
Musgrave carried off the riding hon
ors of the day by plotting three vim
ners. Martin ran him a close second
with two and Goldstein and w. Riley,
who used to be a good jockey, account
ed for the others.
