III ORSES of good class will furnish
III the fun at Santa Anita park this
IL afternoon, most of the events
having materially better class repre-
scented in the entries than usually is
the case in the getaway period. The
feature event will be the Wildhre
handicap at seven furlongs, and 1t Is
APPLY named. Such cracks as Donald
Macdonald. Glorfo, Gowan, Light
Wool Maltbie, Mark Antony IL ana
Spohn will start, and with fast track
over which to run it would require
prairie fire to give them any argument.
Another interesting prospect Will be
the sixth race, which is at one and
half miles. These long races always
are attractive and draw out good
crowds. Beauclere, the champion long
distance horse on the coast, Will start
and will have Ozanne, Rotrou, Rubi-
non St Ilario and Vanen to keep him
company. This means that 1t Will be
a good race. Some of the speediest
juveniles on the coast are named to
start in the second race, which is at
half a mile and unless scratches are
heavy long prices and stiff speculation
will feature the thirty minutes pre-
ceding the race The card is excep-
tionally good and the sport should be
in accordance.
Starter Dwyer, who seldom fines or
suspends a jockey, and never without
just cause, plastered Russell with a
$25 assessment yesterday for giving the
starter too much trouble at the barrier
with Madeline Musgrave. c. Henry
was suspended for twAdays for sim
liar offense with Force.
The judges charged Musgrave $50
for failing to keep Third Rail in his
proper running position. in the stretch
The charge is that Third Rail inter-
fered with other horses by cutting
across the rail, but that the foul
was not sufficient to affect the result
The fine was assessed as a warning to
Musgrave not to attempt any rough
riding stunts. The judges are partio-
ularly opposed to rough tactics and
are nipping in the bud everything that
smacks of this offensive feature of
racing.
Jockey Hogg arrived yesterday with
the string of seven horses that Barney
Schneider shipped down from Oakland.
Hogg is improving fast and has left
the dub class away behind. Schneider
has his contract.
Frank Regain says that Rialto struck
himself the other day in warming up
for the race in which he was beaten
and cut his left foreleg severely. The
injury will not affect him to any ex-
tent, however and he will race again
before being shipped east.
VIII Mcdaniel returned yesterday
morning from Emeryville, bringing
Flying Squirrel, winner of the Geb-
hard handicap, and Carroll, both of
which he took north several days ago
for Thomas. Jockey Schilling also re-
turned and was given a vigorous round
h1 IN 10 m
Strngency in the sixth race. The race
going public is not slow in expressing
it's opinion, whether it be in approval
or otherwise, of any horse or jockey,
and the outburst of enthusiasm when
Schilling appeared certainly attested
the high esteem in which this crack
rider is held.
Big Jolly Phil Chinn. the biggest
overgrown boy at Santa Anita, GER
taiSly enjoyed life yesterday, but he
became almost dizzy from watching his
colors flash in front at the wire. Three
races in four tries is pretty good medi-
cine for the blues. and Phil was per-
manently cured after Prometheus Won.
With all the hard breaks in luck that
he has experienced this season, Phil is
entitled to win q few purses just to
get even. He sent Jockey Schlesslnger
to his home in New Orleans yesterday,
saying lldt the 10y Ildtl ouololhCu ~
many injuries in bad spills lately that
he does not want to take any further
chances of accidents.
Jim Blute bet on Canardo yesterday
solely because Palms was riding, While
nearly everybody else who wanted to
bet on this horse stayed off for the
same reason. Butte says that he took
the bunch because the preceding day
was Palm Sunday. Canardo was not a
day late in getting down to the wire,
but he was second and just as we'll had
been a day late.
Jockey Preston, who seems to have
regained all his old time form, has
been engaged by Phil Chinn as stable
rider. and will go with the Chinn horses
to the Kentucky and Canadian tracks
for the spring, summer and fall meet
ings. Riding for such a strong stable
