BIOIffiSSKWIS At Aurora One Best Bet — C. T. W0RTHINGT0N — In the Third Race. Plenty of sunshine and a return of warmer weather worked wonders with the Aurora I oval, and the going should be no worse than slow for Tuesdays racing, providing no more rain falls. With a spell of fast track racing the better grade of horses will be seen in competition and there are plenty of them on hand. The fields, too, should be larger as the going improves and once the weather has settled, those who journey to the Fox River course are destined to witness some fine racing. There is no outstanding feature on todays card, each of the seven races carrying the claiming clause but the fields as a whole are of slightly better class than has been seen to date. The first three races carded are to be decided over the three-quarters distance, the fourth and fifth at five and a half furlongs, while the remaining two are at the more popular distance of a mile and a sixteenth. The two five and a half furlong affairs bring to the post possibly the best horses, in the point of class, and these should result in good contests. REDSKIN— POWER— RUSHEE. With the better going prevailing today, REDSKIN is going to be a hard one to beat in the opening race. He has been entered before but his trainer scratched him, not wishing to take a chance with him in the heavy going. He only needs to get off to a good start to lead the entire distance. POWER showed sudden improvement in his last start, winning handily. It was the best race he has run in some time and, if that showing was no fluke, think he will prove troublesome in this field. RUSHEE is not looked for to repeat, but should be bang-up at the finish. CAS WELCH would prove dangerous if he goes to the post. NEWT is possibly a bit outclassed but holds an outside chance, taking a line through his last race. GOLDEN LYNX— JAGGER— OLD BROAD-WAT. GOLDEN LYNN was handicapped by the stiff going in her initial start, but with softer footing today, should be the one to lead the others home in the second offering. She is not going to have any too easy a time of it, however, for JAGGER figures to give j her an argument all the way. The latter i put up an even race all the way in his last start to take the show money and he only needs to repeat that effort to be among the first three today. OLD BROADWAY is I partial to a slow track and rates as a contender in this field. COPYRIGHT prefers a fast track. BAD LUCK is always close up at the finish. J. G. BICKEL will bear watching. C. T. WORTHINGTON— WISE GUY-PORTER ELLA. The third should see C. T. WORTHING-TON running his string of victories to three in a row. He has won both of his starts here and seems to like the going. He stands out as the safest betting proposition of the afternoon and, though he will no doubt rule the favorite, he should score easily in this field. WISE GUY has also won his last two races here, but he is not in quite the same class with C. T. WORTHINGTCKST and the best that can be seen for him is the place I , portion of the purse. PORTER ELLA raced far below her best form in her last out, but it may be that she didnt like the holding course. She is expected to show to better advantage today. SLIGO BRANCH merits consideration on his second to C. T. WORTHINGTON. EL CID seems to be improving. WILDRAKE— MISS MISCHIEF WAPONOCA. The shorter distance of five and a half furlongs should be to WILDRAKES advantage for, in both of hts previous races, he led to midway of the stretch only to tire. Those two races were over the three-quarters distance, and, had the distances been shorter, there is no doubt he would have won both of them. He only needs to run his usual race to cop here. MISS MISCHIEF is a fast starter and a front runner and is liable to cause WILDRAKE plenty of trouble. WAPONOCA figures to hold the others safe for the show end of the purse. STRUT MISS LIZZIE is always dangerous. FORE LADY prefers a fast track. EAGER— WHATS THE TIME— THE ABBOT. EAGER has been working in a manner to suggest that he is not far off from a winning race and he would not surprise by scoring in his first appearance. He competed against some of the good ones at the New Orleans tracks, and, though he failed to defeat them, was always bang up at the finish. WHATS THE TIME was one of the best sprinters at the Havana track last winter, and is plainly the one EAGER has to beat. He is a fast starter, and. if he gets away winging today, may prove a hard one to catch. THE ABBOT was more or less successful here last fall, and seems to be the best of the others. CORA RUSSELL raced fairly well at Pompano last winter. INDIAN TALES— SEA GREEN-RICHELIEU. The sixth, over the mile and a sixteenth distance, should see INDIAN TALES proving a repeater. He put up a game race to win his last start and would only have to race in the same manner today to annex this purse. SEA GREEN is expected to give a better acount of herself today with the racing strip in better condition. She may have needed that effort for a tightener. RICHELIEU can do better than his last race indicated. Look for him to show to better advantage in this field. CAPTAIN ADAMS was more or less consistent at Havana and figures well up in this field. LITTLE BLAZE is not without a chance. WHO KNOWS ME— SUPER KING— HALU. WHO KNOWS ME stacks up as the on© to beat in the final number. He showed a liking for a slow track at the recent Bowie meeting and should fare well here. SUPER KING won his last out with ease and is liable to prove a repeater. He is in his best form at the present time and will take plenty of beating. HALU met with misfortune in his first appearance here when he fell. He is in good condition right now and may cause the others some trouble. POMPOUS merits consideration on his last race, when he chased SUPER KING home. BARB WIRE should not be ignored.
