The high weight handicap will be the
feature event of the day at Santa Anita
park this afternoon and ten of the best
sprinters here have accepted the
weights as arranged and the race
should be holly contested from start 10
finish, with a new five and a half fur
long record among the possibilities.
The balance of the card is not much
to boast of in class, but the races, with
exception of the sixth, are evenly
balanced and picking winners will be
no easy task. La Gloria stands out all
by herself in the sixth number.
If Mintia starts back today she has
an excellent chance to score again, as
she is in grand form now. San Mich
olas is speedy and will be hard to beat
Cruzados, if she gets away from the
barrier with the leaders, Will be the
one to catch, but he is unreliable
therefore a bad betting proposition.
Black Mate and Alleviator are out
siders that have good chance to finish
among the first three.
Inc ndluen race, the SeCOnQ 0Neh'
on the card, is a most open affair
Liddington is my choice, as he seems to
like a distance and ran we'll in both OF
his races here. hound and Round is a
bad actor at the barrier and if he gets
away well will be a dangerous factor
all the way, as he is a good colt. Lois
Cavanaugh will be right there at the
finish and should hold the balance OF
the field safe for the show horses
Eutrada, Bushwacker and May Sutton
must be given some consideration, sc
If an outsider wins one or these three
may be 1t. Nadzu has remote chance
to be in the money.
Three-Horse Affair
The third race is a strictly three
horse affair between Timothy Wen
Preston and Ell Cazador.~ Timothy has
been winning his races in such easy
style that he looks the one to beat.
Pretension is an in-and-outer and will
have little or no trouble to dispose of
Ell Cazador for place. The others will
only be in the way.
Creston has been doing so we'll with
all kinds of weight up that l look for
him to repeat as he has the speed and
is game to the core when it comes to a
drive. Geo. S. Davis looks to be in
nicely at the weights and should be the
and fast and will be bang up all the
way. Ingham is the real Danger for
he is a slow beginner and IL the pace
is fast he will be running all over
horses at the end. Jane Swift and
Halton are both speedy but inclined to
stop when collared Sir Edward pre-
fers a longer route and Adelbert Belle
and Royal Queen are outclassed here.
Airs, Master Lester, Lucky Lad and
Don Hart look, on figures. to have the
fifth between them. Airs has been
finishing Strong in all her races and
will like the route today. Master Les
ter put up a nice performance his last
out and ran as though short. Should
be close up today. Lucky Lad and Don
Hart look to have show money be-
tween them and Lad should get 1t.
Josie has a good outside chance to
finish i'm the money.
La Gloria is in real soft spot in the
sixth race and should show her heels
to her opponents all the way. Lee
Harrison II looks just as easily second
best and should beat Phil Igoe. The
others do not call for much at present.
