Dick Welles Selections SelectionsAt At Aurora GAY BOY II MrlXTOSH CHEEK FRIAK FRIAKTn Tn the opening dash at threequarters ve think GAY BOY II is Rood enough to prove a repeater In his last out he made a show of his company and at the end was drawing clear by three lengths He has been a long while in rounding to form but now that he has reached that condition should be good for a few more winning races before getting back in the rut McINTOSH was just a little short in his last appearance He showed the way to the others until well into the stretch but could not withstand the rush of the eventual leaders and finished fourth That effort should have done him a world of good and the place should prove easy for him here GRKEK FRIAR dopes to get the show basing on his last race raceI I ESrAHD RED ST NICHOLAS NICHOLASA A large field of bad ones are to contest for the secondanother threequarters dash The race put up by DESPARD in his last out should be gooil enough to win this heat if he shows but a little improvement over that effort He has been a long time in winning a race but this spot should be all to his liking RRD the tenyearold which races for the oldest active person on the turf Tom Cheek is apt to prove troublesome He raced in his old time form his last out and proved an easy winner If the race didnt take too much out of him he should last for the place at least The fight for the small end of the purse should be between ST NICHOLAS and KERRY GIRL Taking a line through their most recent races we give the call to the former formerARISTOTLE ARISTOTLE GTLMORE DEADFALL DEADFALLThe The Sanola Stock Farm racer ARIS ¬ TOTLE has been absent from active racing for the past two weeks on account of an injury to an eye recieved in his last start It is reported that the optic is all right again and that being the case he is selected to cop the third number a sprint of five and a half furlongs He achieved his last win in game fashion for he came from behind to catch the leaders in the stretch and then continued on to get the decision by a head If he races in the same manner today TOTLE The recent winner GILMORE rates to finish closest to the latter when the numl l ers are displayed He ran a good race to win iwiii iwiiiwill will prove dangerous DEADFALL will be making his first start of the local season He did some good racing over the Akron among the money earners at the windup T T BARXUM KOSMAX BARBERRY BARBERRYThe The veteran P T BARNUM continues in his same fine form as demonstrated in his last out which was a win He is given always manages to win his share of purses He is one of the most consistent racers in action and can always be counted on to give his best in a race Taking for granted that he will run his usual race he should be the winner of this number over the five and a half furlongs route KOSMAN started performed in a most convincing manner He threatens to give P T BARNUM plenty of trouble and if the latter can down this one the race is his For the show we like BARBERRY He has only been given one race since arriving here when he finished second to St Nicholas The same effort today would find him among the first three at the finish finishTOM TOM P BATHILDE SETH XORCROSS XORCROSSNo No feature race is offered for today but the fifth race brings out a slightly better class of performers It is another sprint affair this time being over the fiveeighths distance TOM P put up such a dandy per ¬ formance his last out that we think he will prove the easiest winner of the day here He is scheduled to pack US poiindsbut that weight should not be too much for him over this short distance That he will have something to beat is quite evident BATHILDE SETH a winner in two of her three starts to date is in rare form at the present and she can be relied upon to make the race interesting She doesnt possess the speed of TOM however and for that reason cant see better than the place for her NORCROSS is in good condition right now and dopes to take down the small end of the purse purseHIGH HIGH CARD SEYEN SIXTY SALLY Threeyearold maidens are to contest over the mile route in the sixth event and here we are picking HIGH CARD to prove vic ¬ torious He came close to winning in two of his three starts at this course and looks the best in the race All in all they are a bad lot with none of them having any claims on greatness SEVEN SIXTY is said to be working satisfactorily at the present and a race back to those trials would very likely find her getting the place SALLY DOR is picked for the short end of the money for want of something better betterWILMER WILMER THE AVIARD STEVEXS The only distance race on the card is scheduled to be run off as the concluding tilt This is over the mile and a sixteenth distance and a large field is expected to go postward WILMER THE AVIZARD is our choice here He put up a good performance I in his only start here to take down second money in the race won by Citizen If he would put forth the same efforts today we think lie would be good enough to win for as a whole the others do not rate as high as the performers he met in that race STEVEXS has proved most consistent scor ¬ ing a win a second and an unplaced in three starts One of his usual races would find him closest to the winner at the finish GUS Rs last race was good enough to war ¬ rant giving him the show here One Best Bet TOM P in Fifth Race
