MEDIOCRE RIDES
HURT CHANCES OF
PUBLIC FAVORITES
Iago Only Hot Choice to
Win-King's Champion
Fails to Feature.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 27.-rne
orm players at the Fair Grounds
1ad a bad day today, a difficult
rack and poorly judged rides con-
Jributing to their failure to pick
The winners
1t was an Off day, and the better
Grade of starters were absent from
the races. Jago was the only real
Tublic choice to win. but Little Ed
was rather extensively supported
IN the concluding event.
In the $500 handicap, over a
mile and a furlong distance, Kings
Champion, the outstanding favorite,
was well backed. but he was not
in the running mood. and the finish
found him unplaced.
The consistent and much raced
Gourmand again figured in a win
ming effort, scoring in clever style
over Pastoral Swain and Rep.
Day Lilly proved a surprise in
the sixth race, which attracted a
good field, including Who Cares and
Lampus. The race marked the first
defeat for Lampus this winter.
Who Cares was the victim of
faulty handling. Lang steered him
wide all the way and Day Lilly
drew into the lead during the
stretch run.
Bonero Blue, Archiye and Granny
Lee furnished a spectacular struS-
gle in the opening race. Bonero
Blue won. but would have succumb-
ed to Archive in the next few
strides.
The erratic Rustler, out for the
hrst time recently; showed track
ability at the start and breaking
with the others from an outer post
position, was good enough to win,
although he went extremely wide
throughout
