BEST-AMsTERDAM.
There is a lot of class in the first
for field of maidens. More than one
Of these better than the average. Let's
go all the way to the bottom Of the list
and try LADY GOSSIP. She has been
burning up the checkers watches with
her trials. She had a race in fast COM
pany recently to ready her, and she
looks ready to graduate. The mud-run-
ming NELLIE LYONS is apt to prove
the one to beat. Barely missed nosing
out real flyers In a recent effort in the
slop. OF OF that will be stubborn
contender. DIR. PARRISH may hold
on with more courage. Rates fairly
close up. GOLDEN CHESTNUT, a full
brother to the fast Roguish Eye, makes
his first appearance here. Might prove
dangerous.
HERETIz will encounter more oppo-
sition from this field than she did in
her recent winning effort Neverthe-
less. that last performance was accom-
pliShed with so much ease that she
seems to have fair edge over the COM
pany in the second. DONORA has
menaced fair ones several times. She
is improving with racing, and the edu-
cation she has received should enable
her to take second money. MABEL
BASIL Is certain to be a contender.
Rates we'll up with this sort and off
OF some races could be dangerous. Do
not believe Perfect Alibi will be a men
ace IN slow footing. Dangerous If track
is fast.
Now that AMSTERDAM finally has
found his way into the winners circle,
we may expect to see him there often.
Looks as though he is due to drop
another purse in his book Monday.
His recent races give him a wide call
over the field in the third. VANDAL
has been doing we'll with slightly
cheaper ones. His good races show him
a mighty At youngster, and he may
be better than generally rated. Just
a chance for him to surprise. DIS
TURB has not yet raced to best form
at this point. Capable of sharing in
this purse. If he runs his race, may
be serious factor.
CONGO II would be hard to beat if
he got muddy going. Some of his re-
cent races make him look so much the
best that he may be able to score over
any sort of track, but in mud do not
believe there is anything in the fourth
to menace him. OF course, he must
run his race to do It. CHUM has two
wins to his credit. Taking on just a
bit tougher opposition this time, yet
those last few races make him very
ing honestly. Not worse than second
last six starts. Figures with the lead
ers again Monday.
Just how good Is this SILVERDALE,
anyhow? He has beaten about all there
Is to beat among the sprinters, and now
he is going after the handicap perform
ers. Six straight wins stamp any
animal as a real racer. Have to give
him the call over the fleet BROADSIDE.
Latter has shown some mighty keen
races this Spring. Well suited by route,
1t Will take good horse to beat him.
ROYAL JULIAN would be best suited if
the going is muddy. Won two races
over fast going. so he must be in splen-
did shape. Certain to be keen con-
tender.
Another close fit in the sixth. TAKE
OFF scored in his first start here in
fast time. He will find a great deal
more speed in this group, but he should
be able to repeat SYDNEY graduated
last time in an easy win. Moved to the
leader when ready and drew out. An
improving youngster that will have a
lot to say about the result of this race.
Then there is UNCLE MATT, a bear
in mud, to consider. Been racing right
up with the best of them in all his
races. May be able to upset our figures.
The last may find POST HORN on
top when the finish is reached. Less
speed to contend with here than in
any of those fields he has been meet
ing. Has run few bad races and looks
as though he is capable of trimming
these. LOUISVILLE LOU. of course,
will be the main contender. Very fit,
and her races at Churchill stamp her
as a troublesome filly. McCULLOCH
should be at his best over slow footing.
Whether or not he is ready to race
with these remains to be seen. Must
improve off recent efforts to figure.
