WINDSOR RACING FORMFUL WELL-BACKED HORSES FIGURE PROMINENTLY IN RESULTS AT CANADIAN COURSE. Denham Scores in Canadian Handicap in Easy Fashion Question Mark Wins for His New Owner McCahey Pilots Trio of Winners. I Detroit, Mich., Septemlwr 1. The return of warm weather resulted in increased attendance at Windsor this afternoon. The association provided an sittractive card of seven races, from which keen racing resulted. A majority of the purses were taUen by well-hacked horses and the public had no cause fop complaint. The feature race, the Canadian Handicap, for Canadiaii-breds. proved easy for Denliam. This pood racer has rounded into the form he displayed a couple of years ago and it will take a pretty pood horse to beat him just now. In todays race he shouldered 1115 pounds, made all of his own pace and won in a canter. McCahey took him in hand rounding the Jirst turn and for the remainder of the trip had him under slight restraint. At the beginning of the afternoon McCahey threatened to sweep the card, lie rode the lirst three winners and as some of his other mounts appeared to have a chance thev had a large following. Question Mark, which changed hands twice after his easy vietory on Tuesday last, came hack with another good performance in the selling handicap, in which he scored in runaway fashion. He was in for ,5O0 today and the halter men did not bother him. Just now Question Mark is as good a horse as ever lie was. Jockey Wilson had a stout hold of him most of the way in todays race and at no time during the running was the result in doubt. The best betting race of the afternoon was the third, a mile dash for three-year-old maidens. Like in all races of this sort there were several supported "good things." Heavy support developed for My Fellow and Emerald Isle. The latter, a fine-looking filly by Adam Irish Reel, was making her maiden effort. She is owned by Harry Payne Whitney and nin in the colors of A. Simons. As report had it that she "had shown a trial of half a mile in 47, there was plenty of backing for her. My Fellow, however, was the real "good thing," and all of the f big operators had the report. Rumors of heavy commissions elsewhere lent encouragement to those who fancied My Fellows chances, and the books were loaded up. The result of the support accorded these two enabled the backers of Outlan to obtain liberal odds. The latter on form looked like the next tiling to a cerrtiinty and he won in a canter by live lengths from San Bcrnito, which made the early pace. My Fellow dropped into third place, while Emerald Isle was beaten off. The latter evidently did not run her race. Thirty Forty, a colt that Max Ilirsch purchased a few days ago from Albert Simons for 00, created surprise by winning the fifth race. Thirty Forty stood a gruelling drive in game fashion and coming from behind in the stretch beat Congressman James a length.. J. 15. Respess, who has been bothered quite a bit by the halter men in Canada this summer, retaliated by claiming Vreeland out of the sixth race. Vree-hmd cost Mr. Respess 1,575 and some considered lii m cheap at that figure. In the closing race, Sam Louis advanced Montgomery to 1911.sh00. William Garth, who is handling the llihlreth horses, protected and bought in Montgomery. Montgomery ran kindly and when called on rounding the far turn drew away into an easy lead. John Ilachmeistor dropped in from Kentucky this morning. lie is hero in the interests of the stakes to be run during the fall meetings at Churchill Downs and Latonia. These stakes will close tomorrow and many of the horsemen were liberal with their entries. Some owners have announced their intentions of shipping from here to Pufferiii Park, Toronto, at the conclusion of the meeting. Among them are Herman Flippen, Edward Trotter, Martin Foley. A. Molinelli, E. McCoulsky. J. K. Redmon and Louis Martino. Harry White, who is looking after the interests of the laurel track, has arranged for a special train from Toronto to Laurel at the conclusion of the Pit florin Park meeting. W. P. Austin will ship his horses from here to Sheepshead 15ay on Monday. They will go in the car with the Hildreth horses. Jockeys Goose and Foden were fined by the starter, while Burns was fined 0 and suspended for the renin inder of the meeting by the judges for rough riding in the third race. Hounding the first turn he cut off Outlan, hence the ruling.
