Winner of 2:20 Pace Will Never
Start In That Race
Again.
BY WALTER E. ERLER.

BY reason of the fact that many %
the local horses are at this time away
to the races. the number Ct entries for
,today's racing program Is nor 50 ''trge
as has been the ease N the two ses-
sions that have already passed into
history.
There is, however. considerable
quality among the horses named in the
various events, and an afternoon Of
sharp horse racing will doubtless re-
suit.
In the 2:15 class six of the best
horses owned in the organization are
entered, and 1t should be a battle
royal all the way. BY reason of his
victory at the last matinee the lay
trotting gelding Robert L., jr., owned
by Arthur C. Hensler, will probably
trot out the fayorite. While this fell
low is a fast and courageous race
horse, he will find his work cut out for
him when Starter Hudson says Go"
If the bay gelding Master McKerron,
owned by, Dolph Schleuer, will go. on
and race he has every license in the
world to beat the %trotter. and will
doubtless do so. But if on his bad

in his last race possibly awaits him.
LILLIAN w, at this time looks as If
she were up to a gruelling contest, and
If she is 1t won't do to overlook this
mare. Earl Wilson very recently
worked right at 2:1s, and If he will
race that fast today he will be making
somebody very uneasy at all times.
On paper the race looks like a cracker
jack, and, if it splits up. the owner of
Robert L., jr.., will doubtless wear the
gold split-second timer offered the
winner. at
-Four horses are eligible to start in
the 1928 class, and while 1t will perhaps
be productive of a horse race, 1t would,
on form, look like easy picking for
either Ben Dat or Ophelia Direct, both
owned by C. J. Farr, of Bayonne. Ben
Dat, worked in 2:18 a week ago, and
Ophelia Direct should be capable of
beating 2:20 when the hounds get after
her. If, however, Ben Dat is started
and makes an ascension the black trot-
ter Redmaleon, owned by Henry
Jaeger, appears to rave a chance.
Most anybody's race" would appear
to fit the 2:30 trot. with three entries.
On what she has shown recently, how
ever, Olive Virgins should be first
choice, yet Judge Erie or Cataract may
possibly throw a surprise into the ma
tives.' Elsie Ambulator should have
no trouble in a~nnexing the 2:30 pace.
1t is reported that she very recently
beat 2;20 in her work. which would
lead n to the conclusion that she
should have no trouble In disposing Of
her field. 1t will. however, be neces-
sary for the daughter of Ambulator to
keep racing and attending strictly to
business all the way, as the roar stall
lion Mcneil Is entered, and It's a bet
that he will make her race for her life.
If the race splits the son Of Mckinney
has a chance to win. He may make
breaks, but he al surely race more
heats right at his clip than any horse
in the field.
But three horses are entered in the
1927 trot, and 1t is reported that one of
these, Arbitrant, will not start. This
leaves Pattie Ash and In for Luck to
fight 1t out. The latter has consider
able more work under his belt than the
former, yet 1t is not at all unlikely that
the bay mare will keep the son of Athol
busy every inch of the journey.
Mcneil to Wear Topples.
James Burns. owner of the roam
stallion Mcneil, has determined to
hang the hopples on the son of Nc
Kinney. The roam horse has a world
OF speed, but is inclined to jump for no
apparent reason, and 1t is believed
