AGUA CALIENTE FUTURE BOOK Zeke Caress Releases Prices on Big Handicap Phar Lap First Choice at Two to One. AGUA CALIENTE, Mexico, Feb. 10. i Ringmaster Zeke Caress, of Agua Caliente, released the future book prices for the 50,- 000 added Agua Caliente Handicap today, and made Phar Lap, the Australian champion, favorite at 2 to 1. Naturally at the price there was little action for Phar Lap, but the early wagering found two of the eligibles cut. Marine, now on the grounds and training for the event, was cut from 40 to 30-1 soon after the prices were posted, while Wotan, winner of the Mardi Gras Handicap at New Orleans, suffered a similar cut. Next to Phar Lap, in the opinion of Caress, 1 is Dr. Freeland, which is quoted at 6-1, then comes Joe Flores, double stake winner here and the erratic Reveille Boy at 8-1. Cabezo and Lucky Tom, although the latter may not be shipped here, are 10-1, and Plucky Play is 15-1. The longest price is 1,000-1 quoted against Black Fool, Tippy Toe and Longus. Here is the complete line issued today on the race to be run at the Agua Caliente course March 20: Horse.
