best material at the track.
The curtain raiser Is a six-furlong
dash for two-year-o This seems TO
be a soft spot for Paris Queen. watch
ran such a good second to Coy on
Wednesday. The contention should lie
between Henpeck and Grosvenor.
A big bunch OF speedy ones is carded
in the second race. and with the weight
adjustments the picking will be very
difficult. Righteasy figures good here.
The mare ran a cracking good race
last Saturday, beating such a clever
one as Housemaid. That race should
give her the preference today. OF the
others Perthshire looks very tempting.
The colt showed up In good form Wed
nesday. and was just nosed out by
Superstition for the third place with a
fast field, including Azyiade. behind
him. II Isabel Is ready she will be
dangerous.
The third race should be strictly be-
tween Sprite and Froglegs. The hlly
has the most early speed. and may
last long enough to beat the Schorr
colt. which will be coming at the end
Chevy Chase Steeplechase.
The welkin takes up 1876 pounds in
the Chevy Chase Steeplechase, but II
Colonel PARIS grand mare Is fit and
ready her class will make her win
here. Idle Michael and Gun Cotton
should fight 1T out for the place.
DIR. Duenner figures the winner in the
all-ages handicap. He has been going
at his best In his last races. and II
does not look as II there is anything
to carry him along today in the early
stages. Clir Edge and @. NJ. Miller
may be the contenders.
A big field OF ordinary platers is en-
tered in the sixth race. and Il Is hard
to single out winner. Henry Hutch.
inson may be good enough to win here,
Troy Weight and Muff will go well.
Bonnie Eloise, too. may have LOOK
in.
For the last race OF the day, old SUI
perstition figures very good. Wednes-
duy he made his first start at rkis
track, and ran third In fast field. Els
lust needed that race, and today with
as he was up against Wednesday he
should win from start to finish. Wolf.
erton and Amalfi may be the contend
ers.
racing was the meeting between
Leccharcs, Frederick L.. and Rock
View. three OF the best two-year-olds
In training. Frederick L., went to the
post the favorite, but he finished behind
ithe other two. beaten sauareiy on his
merits.
The winner. August Belmont's Rock
View was second choice In the market
the wise fellows figuring that Leochares
was not quite keyed up. As the race
was run It Is not quite , certain n ina ma
closed with a rush at the end and with
clearer sailing might have won. At any
rate. the public will ask for another
meeting between these two before de-
Gliding the question question: FREDERICK l.
seems to be eliminated.
Victory No Surprise.
Rock Views victory was no surpris,
10 the insiders. The colt had worked
five eighths over the deep. sandy tract
at Bennlng In 1:0l and a half in 0:4s
The little bunch OF horsemen who ar
| training at the Washington track wer
down to a man on the Belmont colt.
The winner Is a typical Rock Sand
not overly large, but compact and wit
quality In every line. 1t will be remem
bered that Rock View won the Nurser
at Pimlico this spring.
Colonel Tom Mcdowell showed up
| rather clever two-year-old In Chinook
which ran second In the opening even
and II he had not been raced to deaf

might have won. As 1t was. Ralp
Lloyd came along and nipped him.
