At Washington Park ParkOne One Best Bet BOGAN In the First Eace The Liberty Handicap tops a fine offday card at Washington Park today this being a test of threequarters of a mile with a purse of 1400 It likewise found the most atten ¬ tion from the trainers seventeen being en ¬ tered It is a crack field which will participate and with a fast track in order a new record is apt to be established establishedSuch Such fleet ones at Sun Altos Flat Iron Senator Norris Girl Scout Sanola and others of equal note are scheduled to start and even should there be some wholesale scratching the quality of the starters will not suffer It is by far the best field that has been en ¬ tered for any race at this meeting since the Washington Park Handicap and should result in as fina a contest as could ba looked for forThe The other six numbers are of the claiming variety but the entrants are of even caliber as a rule and some good sport should be the outcome outcomeBOGAN BOGAN HONEYFISBT SUN FRIAR FRIARIn In the opening race which is for twoyear old maidens to race over the fiveeighths distance BOGAN is given the call decisively He is rapidly approaching winning form and his effort behind Seventeen Sixty should have just about put him on edge for todays test HONEYFISH raced far below his best form in his only start here and a better perform ance is expected of him today SUN FRIAR may show improvement to take down the short end of the purse RHUBARB a recent arrival from the Canadian circuit may cause some trouble troubleAMBITIOUS AMBITIOUS DIVOT KAKIEDOODLES KAKIEDOODLESAMBITIOUS AMBITIOUS rates as best in the second number another test for wtoyearold maidens He has only been to the races but once todate and raced creditably enough to warrant the belief that he may do for this race DIVOT comes from New York where he seemed to be gradually racing himself into winning form A ropitition of his last race which was at Jamaica should see him giving the winner the most argument KAKIEDOODLES is possibly the best of the others othersHATS HATS UP RED PENNANT QUEEN BESSIE BESSIEA A limit field is expected to go to the post In the third over the threequarters distance HATS UP is first on the alsoeligible list and stands a good chance of getting to the post Should he start he figures to have the best chance of winning being a fast starter and able to evade the crowding soon after the start He scored in his first start here and only has to repeat that last effort to add another win to his score RED PEN ¬ NANT seems to be on the improve and rates a good chance of landing some part of the purse QUEEN BESSIE is tabbed for the show money KEEGAN is not without a chance SUN ALTOS GIRL SCOUT FLAT IRON IRONThe The locallyowned SUN ALTOS has been assigned top weight in the Liberty Handicap along with FLAT IRON both being asked to carry 117 pounds The former is mighty good right now and should be able to carry his impost successfully He is a fast breaker and this should be to his advantage in the large field Should he once get out in front he is going to be hard to catch GIRL SCOUT which was winner of the Washington Park Handicap is the most dan ¬ gerous opponent of SUN ALTOS and at the weights figures close up FLAT IRON was winner of a couple of races at Churchill Downs beating good ones on both occasions and a race back to either one of those starts would make him a keen contender all the GRIERSON MABOUSSIA FORETIME FORETIMEThrowing Throwing out the last race run by GRIER ¬ SON he would have a fair chance of annex ¬ ing the sixth a test of a mile He raced well over the Maryland course and only has to display his best speed to score in this event MAROUSSIA put up a good per ¬ formance her last time out and taking a line through that effort is given the call for the pace FORETIME may be good enough to hold the others safe for the short end of the purse MOLLIE MYHILL is usually close up when the finish line is reached and she may bear watching today FAR OVER seems to be improving WORTHMAN MAKE UP TEA TRAY TRAYThe The sixth is another mile race with WORTHMAN selected to get home in front He turned in some good races at Aurora and a race to his best form today should see him turning the trick MAKE UP is about due for an improved performance and may show to better advantage today He is said to be working well TEA TRAY raced well enough in his last start here to give him tho call for the short end of the purse LAST CENT from the Bedwell barn is not far from a winning trip and will bear watching in this field WAPONOCA is easily best of the others othersBOLIVAR BOLIVAR BOND HOCKING MAY STEIL STEILIf If BOLIVAR BOND was to run his real race he could account for the concluding number without much trouble In his last start he raced well but not good enough to outstay Wellfinder With the latter out of the way today he may be able to score ROCKING has been out of the money but once in her last ten starts and in this field should do as welL One of these days she is going to surprise by winning MAY STEIL only has to race in her best style to take down some part of the purse SAGAMOOK and BOSH figure best of the remaining ones
