Vox PoPuii Runs Over AngeIus in Final
Sixteenth and Annexes Boulevard
Handicap in Easy Fashion.
Outsiders Earn Brackets
By JAY DAVIDSON

The feature of the racing card at
Santa Anita park yesterday afternoon
was the success of Jockey Schilling in
plotting four winners home in safety.
This duplicated his feat of the previous
day and confirmed the prediction of
his friends that he had returned to
form and would continue to lead all
rivals in the race for the premier
jockey honors of the winter season.
BY his record yesterday he is credited
with eight winners in twelve races,
which comes close to being the record.
All the horses he rode to victory were
long shots, too, and this adds glory to
his record. He began by winning with
Taunt in the first race and after he
had made a clean sweep down to and
including the fourth the talent began
to wonder If he would equal the world
record of riding the winning card, but
he could do no better than third in fhe
last two races.
The feature of the card was the
Boulevard handicap at one and one
eighth miles, and Vox Populi, always
the public choice and the bookmaker's S
hold card, won it easily after being
played almost into favoritism. Angel
US, which had done nothing this sea-
son to justify the honor, was made
favorite at the opening of betting and
was well played, but was not good
enough to deliver the goods. He got
away in front and stuck there to the
final jumps, when Vox Populi came
from behind and ran over him. Dam
delion, which does not like the mud,
went to the front early, but was quick
ly passed by Angelus and at the stretch
turn it looked very much like Angelus.
VoX POpuh from last worked his way
UP to the contending position and by
a strong finish he got his head in front
at the wire, when AngeluS was nearly
blind with exhaustion and was stagger-
ing under the vigorous finish that
Powers put up. DandeliOn hung on
gamely and showed, but Molesey per-
mitted him to do so because he could
not untrack himself in the going.
r. L. Thomas added two races to his
credit by winning the juvenile event
with his long overdue Kid and by taxi
ing the third race with Fleming. Kid
won like a good colt, being well ham
died by Schilling and ridden under the
imaginary line four lengths in front
of Helma S, which beat KiOra two
lengths for the place. Fleming won
solely because Schilling took him away
from the post in front and hustled him
along in that position to the wire,
where he happened to be a nose in
front of the fast-closing Ida May. The
latter ran right up to her best form
and would have won in another jump
or two, but had a rough journey and
only got Strengthened out in the
stretch. Snow Ball, the speedy Texas
trick that trimmed old Proper a few
days ago, was up against too much
speed and only landed in the three
hole, after a poor start and when Tom
McGrath and Jane Swift had run their
heads off out in front and stopped to
nothing.
Earl Rogers annexed the fifth race
at a mile because Dugan was up and
took him away from the post with the
leaders. His early speed enabled him
to run over the leaders in the first
quarter and take up the running, and
he never was headed thereafter, win
ming by a margin of three lengths
Harry Scott, which once was stable
mate of Earl Rogers, placed by out
nodding Niblick at the wire. The lat
ter came strong through the stretcp,
but was too much used up in the early
pace to be able to collect.
Almena, from the Schreiber barn,
and well supported, took the final race
of the day by a good margin. after
running Annie Wells off her feet in
the early stages. Annie tried to set
the pace, but Almena had enough speed
to force her to her best efforts and
when she was weary of the job Al
mena came along and romped to the
wire. Lula G outnodded Annie for the
place money.
