BY JAY DAVIDSON

The feature of a good card yesterday
at Santa Anita was the Chino handicap
at 61a furlongs, which was won by
Glorio with little difficulty, while Foot
pad, a much improved horse and run
inning near to his best eastern FORM
was second. Green Seal did not have
even enough speed to do any great
amount of pacemaking, but held on
more gamely than ordinarily. and
showed. With Magazine and Donald
Macdonald scratched out 1t looked ike
an easy race for Glorio, and Sucn IL
proved Henry, who has been regard
ed much as a joke this season, gave
the son of Galveston a good ride and
it was easy for him to send Glorlo TO
the front in the stretch and win.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Chino handicap was the feature the
sixth race shared equally with the
handicap in attractiveness from the
viewpoint of the racegoing pubic.
With Harrigan in at light weight ana
sent against such cracks as Rialto,
Waterbury and Col. Bob, 1t was GER
tain to be a big betting proposition,
but the best horse won Notwithstanding
the odds and the plunges on the 9TH
ers. Harrigan was perfectly ridden by
Howard and never gave his hackers q
moment of uneasiness. After the start
it was a case of Harrigan only, and
he romped to the wire, with Ratio,
plunged on by the stable connections,
second and Waterbury, also heavily
nlayed. third. The 51a furlongs were
reeled off in the fast time of los 1-5.
Three favorites won during the after
noon. and it happened that they We're
placed in the three principal events OF
the afternoon. Glorio, Harrigan and
Fundamental tickled the talent inn
mensely after four long shots more
than evened up the day with the popu-
lar choices, as no favorite had won
the previous day.
Fundamental was much the best in
the last race and tincanned from bar
rier to wire, winning easily, as he fig
ured to do. Bill Eaton, which Barney
Schneider thought was good thing,
! was second and Otilo was third. There
were few good things in this race, as
Fundamental stuck out so prominent
ly that he could not be denied in this
| field.
Modelling Hanna, which had shown
! wonderful speed and run second In
her previous and only local start. had
about the easiest time of her life in
winning the fifth race at juicy odds
| because the general public overlooked
her entirely. Bell of Brass was sec
ond and Pert, the favorite and the
unanimous choice of the wise money
brigade, was third.
Pellas, which had been notorious
| " sensational worker in the morning
| hours and a poor runner in the after
noon took the first race without any
| difficulty from AZo and DOnatus. On
workouts, as was the case with Malt
bic, Pelleas looked like a cinch, but he
had fooled his hackers so often that
he carried very little money when he
went to the post. Solus stumbled and
| fell Immediately after the start, but
| caused no heartaches, as he was not
played at all. Yankee Tourist was
backed almost off the boards by Owner
Phil Chinn and his friends, but could
not do any more than he ever did
nothing.
Abihu, the longest priced winner of
the Santa Anita season stuck long
! enough to beat Placide, another long
shot, by snoot in the baby race, and
Judging by the Comanche yells of
a few individuals Abihu must
have been something of good
thing. About a dozen individuals
about the ring exhibited 81 and S.
the official sign was thrown to the
breezes, but they had not enough
nerve to do it previously. Mike Mo-
lett, the favorite, showed.
The third race went to the credit of
Montclair, which beat Hannibal Bey
and Financier with great ease. Calves
and st. Elmwood showed little speed
and could not keep up with the others.
Entire Gus made q bid on the back
stretch. but she seems to have lost
her old time speed.
