The talent gave the bookmakers a
fearful drubbing at Santa Anita yes
terday afternoon by winning four OF
the seven races and scoring with well
played second choices in two other
events Form was strictly observed
during the afternoon and nothing OF
an unformful nature, despite the mis-
leading odds quoted in some instances,
occurred to mar the sport.
The feature event was the Campus
handicap at seven furlongs, which was
won by Car by head in desperate
and most exciting finish with Glorio.
Glorio was ridden by Henry, poor eX-
cuse for a jockey, but he took his
mount into second place at the start
and chased Old Timer until that one
had had enough, when Car, aided by
a mastery and well-judged ride by
MCGEE, came along slowly in the early
stages and caught the firing pacemak-
ers in the stretch. Having been NICE
ly rated and we'll preserved throughout
the first half mile, Car was so fresh
and full of run that MCGEE found 1t
easy to get up to Glorio sixteenth
out, when both jockeys went to bat
and put up a gfeat whipping finish.
MCGEE was more vigorous in his final
drive and he landed Car the winner
in the final jumps. Vox Populi found
the pace too swift and the route too
short. so he had to be content with
the third hole.
Ida May, weighted with only an So
pound feather, was held at ridiculous
ly long odds in the third race, at a
mile, because she was not supposed to
"clasS" with such horses as Ethon.
Molesey and John Carroll. She may
have lacked the class, but she made up
for it in speed, and after little Rus
sell got her away in front, she opened
up a gap of four or five lengths ana
held it all the way into the stretch,
where she was allowed to take her
time, and she went under the wire
nearly three lengths in front of Ethon,
merely romping at the finish. Molesey
was third. The time was 1:3S 10.
Musgrave and Powers had great
and most interesting duel all the way
from the barrier to the wire In the
baby race, the former winning with
infection by a head from Kfora. They
were heads-on at every jump after the
start. and it was a nerve-racking eXpe-
rience for both boys and horses. The
Wolf showed. The babes went their
longest route in this race, being sent
over a five-furlong course. The time
made was 100.
Jane Swift had no difficulty what
ever in overhauling tA@ fieeting Shirley
Rossmore in the streWh, after Shirley
had taken up a lead of several lengths,
and won the sixth race. Milpitas came
along and showed.
Oberon, the faYorite, won the long
race from Goldway and Remember in
good time for selling platers to make,
doing the mile and quarter in 2:06 3-5.
Everything in the race was plunged
on. but form again triumphed, and
the horses ran as they figured.
Airs won the opening event for the
talent. after the other nine horses had
been plunged on at random to beat her.
She did 1t rather handily, too. The Sui
tan, the good thing, was second, and
| Carasco was third.
May Sutton delighted a large army
of hackers by spreadeagling her field
in the fifth Howard took her to the
front at the start and kept her there
by q wide margin until after he had
led the procession past the imaginary
line. Priceless Jewel, a write-your-
own-ticket chance, was second, and
Talarand pulled up in third position.
