To be sure there were lot of beetles
opposed to him, but the aged Ormonde
gelding has been beaten by this kind

It was a nice afternoon for the dope
students, as four of the races were won
by horses which ran according to
figures. Harcourt, at l to 2, copped the
opener; the baby race went to Vibrate
making her debut and quoted at Z to 8;
Chalfonte was at even money, and good
old Don Domo annexed the closing
number at 4 to 5. Critic and Ormondes
Right were the only ones to fool those
stringing with the short prices.
Harcourt, with Schillng up, was
made 1 to shot over the bunch op-
posed to him, and was driven out to the
limit to win from Macias. Port Ma

Harcourt was rushed to the front. 1t
looked easy for him until Macias came
along with a rush and was only a head
out of it at the wire. Halaca was
third.
Sam Hildreth turned loose another
crack baby in the MISREPRESENTATION
filly Vibrate. The books were also ini-
pressed with her workouts and marked
the price at to 5. Schilling got her off
winging and was never headed. Annie
Wells, at 12s, was second, with FrieZe
third.

With Musgrave up and even money
as the ruling figure Chalfonte won the
third in a drive with Teacress. The
pair made the mile circuit close to-
gether and hooked up at the paddock
to fight it out. Teacress faltered in the
closing jumps and was forced to be
content with the place. Ed Ball an
nexed what was left.
Arklirta was the talents choice for
the fourth race, a six-furlong event
labeled the Ell Molino handicap, and
Critic was allowed to drift up the line
to 4 to 1. The field of five went away
from the barrier we'll together, and
Schilling tried to make a runaway
race of it with John c. Rice. He, Pre-
tension and Critic were well together
on the turn for home, and Harty
sneaked Critic in on the rail to take the
lead before reaching the paddock. He
won under a hand ride, with Arklirta
getting the middle portion from Pre-
tension.

Don Domo annexed the final number
