In all but the closing race selling platers of ordinary caliber will hare the call today at Emeryville. The opener a five and a half furlong sprint for 2 year olds, has for Its most promising contenders Lackfoot, Marian Casey, Alice F and Castile.. Any. one of this quartet may win. If j Marian Casey happens to get off well she may make a runaway race of it, as she ap pears to run much better when oft In front than at other times. Lackfoot will close stoutly. Sombro Is .a . fast colt, b-ut' i has run green In, both his starts. ' , E. M. Brattain looks to: be in where he can win in the second. Koenigin Luise is likely to be the contender and probably will win should Brattain 8 top as in his recent races. Belle Kinney is fast and lit, but will jjave an apprentice" rider up. If Captain Burnett's last race Is thrown out . he might.be given a chance. R. F. Carman's Progress should lead from wire to wire in the -third. Lustig, Crolx dOr, Meada and The Reprobate appear to be the most dangerous of the contenders. Bainrlda is fit and may win the fourth from Silver Line, whose last race was especially good! Seven fur longs looks a bit far for Blanche C in view ofvher last race. Surety and Calmar are likely ..to flght it out for the show."~" . Nine Spot .and Gftrgalete look best in the fifth. Qorgalete was beaten a half length by Nine Spot at their last start, but the former had all the racing luck, while , Gorgalete had a rough journey. With an even break Gorgalete may turn the tables today. Fisher Boy is In rare form and may be able to -beat the balance, although several others of the contestants must be conceded a chance.- ,v^:- Mary F on her second to T>«rluicio in record time a few, days ago looks 'to have: the last race of the day at her mercy, but Jockey Horner.'lwho probably will 'ride :her, will have to do. better than he has with some "of the horses he has ridden since his. ar rival from the east, or she will 'be beaten. Roalta looms as - the most dangerous contender. Wing Ting is a high class filly and might.be the sur prise of the race. A longer route would probably suit Massa better.
