Jockey Carol Schilling was almost
the whole show at Santa Anita yes
terday. True, a few horses paraded
around the circle and did their sue
cessful best to fool the talent, but the
Jockeys work was the only thing that
stood out to make the card anything
but one of the "bushiest' kind, and
his four winners did much to help the
feminine TURTLES who give up their
coin to the pool boys and get trimmed
on the already shortened odds.
Schilling aroused the only enthusl-
assn displayed during the afternoon
when he piloted the winners of the
last two numbers on the program. HIS
large following began to get busy with
the card in the fourth race, ana When
their star put Teacress over at two TO
one they thought it time TO work the
repeater act.
The fifth was a five-horse affair, but
two of those entered were running for
places at the glue factory. Early Tide,
on the strength of his nice running III
the little Derby last Saturday, was
made favorite, with even money the
post time price Edwin T. Fryer was
chalked up with Livius as the Wal
hauser entry Nine to five was the
high water mark against Fryer, Liyi-
us not being conceded a right to get
on the track with his stable mate.
Sidney T was the only other one
thought about at all, and at that he
was around fves when the bugle
sounded.
The start was in front of the stand,
and Jensen. on Early Tide. crowded
his mount through to 81 rail position
and led the others clear around until
Just before turning for home. Edwin
T. Fryer was rated right behind the
pace. and the wise guys all said that
Schilling had him too close up for such
a slow beginner.
On the turn for home Fryer, which
was leading. and Early Tide both
went wide, and Sidney F went to the
front on the rail. The drive was just
to Schilling's fancy, however, and he
went ahead TO win without trouble.
Early Tide stopped fast in the final
stages, and Sidney F placed. Then
the crowd in the stand yelled. for
Schilling has many admirers in the
ace and deuce contingent.
La Gloria Not Meant
Schilings fourth winner of the day
came in the closing number, but it
was not his fault that he scored.
Martin, on the Pasadena Stables La
Gloria made about as big a lob ride
as has been witnessed in many a day.
and La Gloria was beaten at the end
by Creston Boy. But no one could
expect La Gloria to win with the price
as short as four to five. Messrs. Hol-
land and Williams were never guilty
of any faux pas like that.
The sport was tame all day, and
aside from the noise, made by those
who played Schilling in the closing
events it was about as dead bit of
racing as has been recorded this sea-
son. Some poor little jockey named
Nv a
judges for busting up the show in the
baby race, and the officials felt they
had done a neat piece of work. AS a
matter of fact, these same officials
have overlooked similar offenses on
the part of Miller, Schilling, Burns
Martin and other boys whose contract
owners are big bugs in the local turf
world
This business of soaking one boy
with a large fine and letting others
go unnoticed when the violation of the
rules is even more fragrant had ought
to be stopped or else the sport-loving
public should refuse to patronize San
ia Anita. Equal rights to small and
big owners should be the ruling
principle in the judges stand, but II
yesterdays work in bro lking it off in
an almost unknown boy like Van
Dusen is a sample of fairness it is
time to call a halt.
But it should be stated that Van
Dusen's work was all to the rough. for
nc spoiled the chances of Bennies Busy
and Instant, the first choices for the
baby race. Bold, Van Dusen's mount.
won at twelve to one, with Bell of
Brass second and Ollie Ward third.
The favorites We're nowhere.
SchiIling rode his first winner of the
afternoon in the opening number,
when he piloted Lady Vashti, at three
to one, in ahead of Bauble and Dull
cinea. Columbia Girl was favorite,
and ran unplaced. 1t was a close fin
ish between the first two, heads sep
arating them al the wire.
