IN one Of the most attractive cards
OF the season for this afternoon
at Santa Anita and it would have been
more attractive Offering had track
conditions and weather prospects en-
! couraged him a bit. Fortunately, the
stake race could not be called off and
the Eastlake handicap filed nicely, but
the Holland cup preliminary was de-
clared off because it is desired that It
be run over fast track and such could
not be had today. The Ventura ham
dicap will feature the card this after
noon, being one of the fixtures of the
season. 1t is at seven furlongs and
has an estimated gross value of $2960.
Such cracks as Miss Sain, Magazine,
Restigouche, Chapultepec, Angelus,
VoX Populi Glorio and Centre Shot
are named in the overnights as having
accepted Secretary Smiths handicap
figures and will start. If track condi-
tionS improve, added starters are
probable, but few, if any. will be ad-
ded in the event the day is rainy or
cloudy. The Eastlake handicap, at five
and a half furlongs, also draws out a
high-class field of sprinters, among
them being Colloquy, Halket, Old
Timer, Hasty Agnes, King James,
Montgomery, Adriuche, Chapultepec
and Angelus. While the baby race
will not rival the handicaps in attrac-
tiveness it probably will stir up as
much enthusiasm and interest, as the
rival colts, Flying Squirrel and Donau,
the best of the juvenile division shown
at the meeting, will meet at equal
weights and for the first time. The
entire card is attractive and if the sun
shines throughout the day the track
will be good and the sport will be
excellent from every angle of view.
