CONSISTENT AZYIADE WINS GOOD FILLY OWNED BY L. JONES TAKES FORT THOMAS STAKES. Froglegs Makes Remarkable Showing in Race High Private Continues His Winning Career Disagreeable- Day, but Good Crowd at Latonia, Cincinnati, O., November 4. The consistent Azy-iatle gave further demonstration today of her quality by scoring a handy victory in the Fort Thomas Stakes, the last of the seasons two-year-old fixtures, and worth ,380 net to the winner. Frog-logs, which took second money, met with various mishaps during the running, lcginuing with a poor break and winding up with the loss of both stir nips by his rider. He made by far the best showing of any of the starters in the race and probably would have won with better racing luck. Kaiser, also away poorly, landed in third place, with Presumption and Sonada among the unplaced contestants. Sonadas showing was especially disappointing. He retired from active contention duriug the stretch drive. A more disagreeable day for racing could hardly have been Imagined. The cold was penetrating and toward the end of the day snow threatened to fall. The good card was a potent factor in bringing out a splendid attendance. The racing was keen and much enjoyed by the throng. The big operators again suffered losses, only two of their choices scoring. High Private was one of these. He showed a tine performance and stood a terrific final furlong drive to wear down and beat Hazel Burke. He was conceding considerable weight to all his opponents and his task looked hopeless on the stretch turn, but he responded splendidly to his riders demands. Some high class platers met in the closing dash, which furnished a thrilling struggle. John Reardon was returned the winner by a small margin over John Furlong. The latter was supposed to be i "good thing," but just got up for second place. Tom Bigbee won third money in the last stride, with G. M. Aliller and Silver Knight right there. Silver Knight was the favorite and failed to make good with his usual final furlong sprint that has carried him to so many victories. After the finish he was the victom of the claiming process. G. H. Marlman, owner of Cannon Shot, leading him to his stable for 1911.sh40. R. F. Carmans Carapeon made a runaway of the third race, for which he was the favorite. Winning Widow, after interfering with Merrick and Love Watches, took second place. There was a good deal of crowding in the race and J. Allen, on Union Jack, suffered a crushed toe as a result. Work Box contributed to the confusion at the start by repeatedly kicking some of the others. After dismounting from Mack B. Eubanks, jockey Taplin had to cancel the rest of his engagements on account of his injured hip. He is unfit to ride in his present condition and has been advised frequently not to attempt it until his Injury has thoroughly healed. Catesby Woodford, part owner of Sonada, wagered 00 against 00 with E. It. Bradley that his colt would beat Azylade in todays stake race. Barney Schreiber stated today that he had arranged to lease Jack Atkin to E. It. Bradley and that he would dispose of all his broodmares except about thirty, which he will retain and breed. He is in quest of a small place in Kentucky or Missouri and will curtail his breeding operations until more favorable racing conditions prevail. His mares will be disposed of in the most profitable markets. The horses he had racing at Laurel and on the Canadian tracks have been sold to P. M. drill. While iiere yesterday John E. Madden inspected the good colt Worth, with a view to purchasing him for a wealthy English turfman. His offer for the colt, while held to be a liberal one. was nowhere near the 0,000 trainer Taylor holds him at. There is little likelihood of Worths transfer from tbje Hallcnbecks establishment in the immediate fhtiire. Grauite came out of his race last night with a bowed tendon and will be sent to W. O. Joplins fnrrn at Elizabethtown to be rested for the winter. Miiezie. another one of the Joplin horses that ran poorly yesterday, was taken with a bad hemorrhage after she pulled up.
