LONG SHOTS OUT
Only One Fav0rite Runs True
to Form at Laurel Track.
TEN POINT is LUCKY CHOICE
Old Coin and Herbert Turner Paw
Their Backers Well-Fields
Are Much Larger.

Long shots are scoring at the Laurel
races now with alarming regularity,
and bettors fortunate enough to catch
them get something in return for their
money. Two horses came over at
Laurel yesterday, and the price on one
was 10 to ! and on the other Is to 1.
They were Old Coin and Herbert Tur-
ner. Towton Field also paid to 1.
Only one favorite ran true to form,
and this was Ten Point, in the first
race. Ocean Blue and DR.. Duenner
were well played Horses to win. Three
first choices ran second they being
Edith Inez. Prince Ahmed and Michael
Angelo
Five of the six fields were unusually
large. the first bringing out eleven
starters, the second an even dozen, the
third ten, the fourth five, the fifth
twelve and the sixth ten.
Butwel1 had the best day among the
jockeys, he winning twice and scoring
second the same number of times. Nc
Taggart had a victory and two secocds,
and Byrne brought over winner and
a second.
There was a cheap bunch of two-year-
old maidens in the opening contest at
five and a half furlongs. Jockey Nc
Taggart had his mount, Ten Point. of
first, and he held the advantage to the
wire. EXtOn was used up trying to
keep up with the leader and fell back
in the stretch. Ambrose was firing at
the end, but managed to run second.
Afterglow came with rush in home
posed to be something pretty. good and
would have given the winner run had
the filly got good start.
Old Coin Never Falters.
Old Coin ran a similar race to Ten
Point in the second, which was for two
year-olds at FIVE furlongs. The Reed colt
was off in the lead and never once gave j,
up, although he had hard time dispos'
ing of Fatty Grub who hung on like
vicious bulldog Fatty faltered after
challenging at the sixteenth pole and
never could get up being beaten only by
a head in driving finish. Jewel of Asia
kept to the rail in the going and rar
third. Chuckles, the favorite, broke badly
and did not get in the money.
Butwell's ride on Ocean Blue in the
running of the third event, which was
at a mile, won for him. The jockey rated
along his horse until it came time for the
final drive, and in a whipping finish just
won by a neck from Edith Eniz. who SCI
all the early pace. Hughey Penny's Woo
Dove met with repeated interference, bu
showed good courage and ran third.
The public thought pretty we'll of Prince
Ahmed in the fourth race. which was a
a mile. Old DR.. Duenner always carries
his bunch of hackers, and they did no.
