THIS AFTERNOON
Babies Will Have Second Chance to

FurIong Dash-Long
Distance Event
BY IRVING II. CLEMENT

There is quantity galore in every one of
the races carded for this afternoon, ana
although quality is lacking the fields
are well balanced and picking winners
will be a hard task.
The first race is for maiden three-year-
Odds and it is TO cinch to select the win
ner, as the field is large and racing luck
will play an important part Velma c.
ran corlSing good race the other day.
and If she shows the same burst OF
speed today will be hard to catch. BIZ
lowly is fast and a good breaker ana
with a good boy in the saddle should get
the place. May Sutton will be dangerous
factor all the way and has good chance
to clean up. Orcagna and Round and
Round are working well and they have
an outside chance to be among the first
at the finish.
If Banthal runs to her works she will
be very hard to beat in the baby race.
as she is well schooled. Walsh has two
entered. both of which can step lively.
and they should hold the place safe. Rose
Queen is fast trick that Griffin has in
his barn. May Dieudonne and Achieve
are both working well and will have a
lookin.
Probably the hardest race of the day
is the third as several figure together.
and It is hard to separate them. Niblick
is good consistent performer and
his early speed should enable him to run
his field dizzy the first part and stall off
the others that may challenge him. Chip
pewa was unfortunate his last time out.
as he was away poorly. With the little inn
provement that can be expected he should
hold the balance safe. Taylor George pre-
fers a shorter route, but his class should
pull him through to get the show honore.
Ed Ball. East End and Canique figure
bang up and one OF them may beat the
rating and win. The others do not figure
on what they have shown lately.
Lee Harrison Picked
Lee Harrison II ran as If short the
last time out and that race should put
him on edge TO win today His most for
midable contender is KirlSfeld Belle.
which he beat last time they hooked up.
so should trim her today again. The Fog
has good turn of speed, but he is In
clined to stop at times, so is bad bet
ting proposition, and BAIL may beat
him for show honors
Aunt Polly has been running up close
in her recent races with better horses.
and If she gets away today may win.
Halle Sherman improves with each race
and figures a close contender. but she is
slow beginner and in a large field that
will not help her chances any. Anna May
is very speedy and should be bang up
all the way. Airs is the three-star dan
ger here and bears watching. Should
come under the wire in this order: Aunt
Polly. Halle Sherman, Anna May.
The public will view a long distance
race at the end of the card and a good
bunch is carded to start, every one of
which likes a route. Gentle Harry may
look a cinch on dope, but he is an cratic
horse and sulks at times, so is liable to
be beaten. Big Bow came from Texas
with q number of brackets to his credit
and is the one most likely to beat Harry.
Ed Sheridan should be a bang up third
and even spill the beans and catch the
Judges eye first. as he is a fair sort of
selling platter. Eel Primero Is a fine big
horse that has not run to his work. This
may be his day. Begun should go well
with his light impost
