On Thursday last this colt won his race
over the same distance Of ground as
today, beating Ringing a head In

OF speed, but tired at the end. He

day should certainly land ahead of
Ringing.
The latter from the Garth stable, Is a
good one, as her race in the Clabaugh
Saturday showed. The filly had some

Albert Simons will send royalty bred
one to the post in this race in Tankard

Tanya. Tankard ran a winning race in

gets the verdict.
Second Looks Open.

| cheap maidens and looks rather open.
Mud Sill has been out twice at this
meeting and performed fairly we'll and
may be the winner here.
+, Fatty Anderson has two here in Edith

this stable Is ready, they may be looked

Lad of Langden in his race Saturday
looks good for the Merchants Selling
| Handicap, although he would be better
suited in a longer race.
Rye Straw is a colt of much speed
and a good winner at the winter tracks.
| Thrce-quarters Is about as far as he
likes to go, but for that distance he
can set a warm pace. He should be

Is another that will be suited by the
distance and will have to be reckoned
with.
High Hat Is Choice.
For the steeplechase 1t is impossible
to overlook High Hat, although he has
169 up. This one has an unbroten list
of victories to his credit and unless the
weight stops him should win here.
A horse that will be very dangerous
here is Kingpin with the light impost
Of 1870, Last Monday kingpin made his
a wonderful performance: He fenced in
splendid fashion and led Trudo and a
big field up to the last jump but one,
where he lost his rider.
Today he should 60 better and with
his light weight will be hard to catch.
Gun Cotton and Jimmy Lane will also
run we'll here.
Spring Maid In Fifth.
For the fifth race Spring Maid looks q
good thing. This IS one of the really
good two-year- olds that have thus faI
shown and is At and ready. Hot Water
from the Garth string looks next hest
Albert Simons will send two finely brec
ones to the post in this race in Barne
gat and Euskin. Neither OF these has
started, but on general principles they
will hear watching. Mr.. Whitney deal:

as ANYTHING here. He is a rather SLOW
