Dick Welles Selections SelectionsAt At Churchill Downs ADA BLACKJACK POCKET 3IOUSE MACBETH MACBETHADA ADA BLACKJACK is our selection in the opening race About as bad a lot of horses as could be mustered for a race are en ¬ tered here and picking the winner is quite a task ADA usually runs her best races in the mud and for that reason we are placing her first She has had a long rest since the Jefferson Park meeting and if she were to race to her last years forni would go well1 POCKET MOUSE showed a flash of speed in one of his races at Lexington and bas ¬ ing on his mud running ability may be the one to run to the place MACBETH should be the one to save the show if his most re ¬ cent races are a true line on his form LADY INEZ will be making her first start since the Tijuana meeting and if fit appears to be the best of the others othersFLORAXADA FLORAXADA AQUITAXIA MISS CHIXIQUY CHIXIQUYAnother Another large field is promised in the sec ¬ ond race a four and a half furlings dash for twoyearold maiden fillies Of these PLORANADA a MacLean homebred ap ¬ pears the best Her last race found her beat ¬ en a half a length for the winners end of the purse by Ethel Dear If that race was no fluke she can be expected to give a good account of herself here AQUITAXIA did nothing but burn up the track in her morn ¬ ing trials but since coming to the races did not fare so well She ran second in her first out though and is bound to improve over that Her chances for the place money look good today MISS CHINIQUY rates a little higher than the others and is the one we like for the show portion portionBELZOXI BELZOXI SUX RAJAH XOKSELAXD XOKSELAXDWe We are picking BELZOXI to run his string of consecutive victories td four when he meets up in another large field which will go postward for the third number He scored quite frequently at the Miami track win ¬ ning his last two outs then did likewise in his one race at Tampa All that he needs to win is to put up the same brand of speed SUN RAJAH looks like the one most apt to stop BELZONI should he falter He was in the money in his last three starts at Bowie winning one of them NORSELAXD is most consistent and can be played with extreme confidence of landing in the money She finished in the money in her last seven starts Not a bad score for a plater Her last effort was a real one when she finished second to Broomster at this course Her chances of landing the show at least look very favorable favorableBRIER BRIER HILL SUX HATHOK CUP BEARER BEARERIf If BRIER HILL would run one of his races such as he turned in last year we think he could take the measure of this bunch He is speedy and in good hands On past performances he doesnt count for much but he could be the winner here if in form SUN JTATHOR turned in a couple of wnning performances at Tampa arid on the strength of those races we are expecting him to furnish the contention here The distance should be to his liking also CUP BEARER is reported in good form at the present and if so would be the one to race to the show MEDDLING MATTIE and SANDALWOOD are dangerous company in any race and they may upset all the dope dopeROYCROFTER ROYCROFTER LEE O COTTER BREAKFAST BELL BELLThe The time is drawing close now for the run ¬ ning of the Derby and not many more of those who are expected to start will be seen in action until the day of race Today ROYCROFTER the G F Croissant color bearer and main dependence will match strides with five other speedy racers in the Pewee Aralley Purse to be run as the fifth His showing today will very likely decide whether or not he will be a starter in the classic next Saturday He ran a good race to finish third in the Clark Handicap last Saturday and taking a line through that race should not have much trouble in scoring here He will have the crack LEE O COT NER opposing him but we dont think LEE is quite good enough yet to down him It will be the first race of the year for the latter BREAKFAST BELL is best of the others and should get the show money moneyREALTOR REALTOR TWO SIXTY CRYSTAL DOMIXO DOMIXOIn In tha Linden Purse REALTOR another one from the Croissant Stable looks much the best His last race found him home an easy winner by three lengths over Sun Dance and Hydromel He gets weight off today and with that added advantage should not have the least trouble in scoring TWO SIXTY landed in the money in his three starts since arriving from southern climes and looks to be the one most apt to giv REALTOR a struggle CRYSTAL DOMINO did not fare so well in his first race at this course but is capable of doing much better He is said to resemble his daddy Flittergold in more than one respect and is found to be heard from later on His chances for taking down third money look gooou gooouCLOISTER CLOISTER DAY TRAP WATERFLAG WATERFLAGCLOISTER CLOISTER should find the going to his liking today and he wouldnt surprise if he were to account for the last race on the card He more than paid his way at Miami and may be expected to run one of his good horses today He was a starter last Satur ¬ day when he finished unplaced but that race should have done more good than harm DAY TRAP has been working like a good one and a race to those trials would find him a close contender at the finish He can run fast and the going is no detriment to him WATERFLAG has also been turning in some fine moves and may be the one to run third FAIR ROWENA rates close up on the strength of her last out at Lex ¬ ington when she was returned the winner One Best Bet BOYCROFTER in Fifth Race
