Todays card at Latonia called out the most ordinary collection of horses that have met in competition during the present meeting. However, the sport was better than expected and the attendance was large. The success of Judith Louise, a smart youngster from the Respess bam iu the second race was a severe blow to the bookmakers here and, from all accounts, elsewhere. Opening at 15 to 1 and in some books for a moment or two quoted at 20 to 1, the money poured into the ring on her and forced a cut in the price until 4 to 1 was the best obtainable.
