Judges at Latonia Will Bar Him from Racing Seven Favorites Fail Heavy Track Causes Upsets Many Withdrawals. Cincinnati, 0., August 27. Form calculations went wrong this afternoon. This was attributed to the heavy and holding track. The defeat of seven favorites was a hard blow to the taJent. XIcols followers also booked heavy losses. He failed to pilot a winner during the afternoon. There were only four starters In the third race. Chief Mlilikin, because of his known liking for muddy going, was at odds-on and well supported. After a tiresome delay at the post, caused by the fractlousness of Don Dorao and Chief Mlilikin, starter Holtman raised the barrier when he thought he had them In proper alignment. The only one to leave promptly, however, was Hector, Elastic following him five lengths back. Chief Mlilikin bolted to the outer rail and catching Don Domo pinned him there until the other two were fully a sixteenth in advance. Preston, by a liberal application of the whip, fought Chief Mlilikin away and set sail for the flying leaders. He closel a tremendous gap and forced Hector to a hard drive to outlast him to the finish. Chief Mlilikin also took a notion to run after trailing in the rear for the first quarter, and, heading Elastic, secured third money. After the finish the judges ordered that the entry of Chief Mlilikin be refused in future. The steeplechase resnlted In an easy victory for John Dillon. This horse fenced well and was favorod by the going. Frank Mc fell over the water jump and for a while it appeared as if his rider had been badly hurt.
