KENTUCKYS BIG FALL RACE I Saratoga Meeting to Decide Start ¬ ers in Latonia Championship Eligibles That Survive Acid Test Testof of Spa Racing Certain to toto to Be Sent West LOUISVILLE Ky August 2 TJpon the present Saratoga meeting depends to a large extent the number of starters in the 50000 Latonia Cham ¬ pionship Stakes which will be run at the Coving ton course next autumn as the owners and trainers of the ellgibles for the big event will have plenty of chances to apply the acid test to them at the Spa and thus determine whether it will be worth while shipping them to the Milldale track to run in Ameri ¬ cas premier stake At the present time it looks as though the easterners have the best chance to win the big race as the owners from that section named horses for it that on form surpass the westernowned eligibles and the months racing at Saratoga will be a big help to the former formerHarry Harry Payne Whitney has four eligibles for the rich event Vindex Bayard Headstrong and Stick ¬ ling the latter a filly and even though he does not send any of them to the post he will have a rooting interest in the race if Cirrus starts as it was he who named the son of Tracery Morning side for it Mr Whitney made twelve entries but lie disposed of most of those lie nominated Ia the evcntthat Cirrus should win and his recent races liave been so good that he must be given a real good chance Mr Whitney would not only receive 1000 but would have the honor of naming the first win ¬ ner of a stake that has made all lovers of horse ¬ flesh in America sit up and take notice because of its immense monetary value valueThe The performances of Ticklish at Empire City have been of such a nature as to give him a chance also and even though he did not win over a long route of ground there is no reason why he should not develop into a stayer if trained to that end Since he was nominated for the Latonia Championship Stakes by the racing firm of Morris Walden the son of King James Tickle has changed hands a couple of times G W Forman raced him at Yonkers while he was so successful and then sold iiim to R E Watkins The latter is a capable conditioner of horses especially to go a long route and it would not be surprising if he has him ready TO go one and threequarters of a mile next Oc tobec tobecTICKLISH TICKLISH SHOWS IMPROVEMENT IMPROVEMENTAs As a twoyearold Ticklish was highly regarded so highly in fact that Morris Walden refused a sum that ran into five figures for him He did uot pan out as good as was expected chiefly due to the fact that he was a bad post horse and wore liiiuself out at the barrier but now he seems to be displaying the form of which he was always thought capable capableOf Of the eight named by E R Bradley only one remains iu the list of those permitted to start that being Batter Cake winner of the Cincinnati Trophy jn 191S at Latonia The daughter of Buckwheat 3Iacaroon has not been at near her best form as a threeyearold and in her only start she showed i poor performance The master of Idle Hour Farm went her home to recuperate and it is doubtful if Khe will be ready for such a grueling contest Jlowever it is not improbable that Bradley will mquire a contender for the big race and in the jvent that he does he can be depended upon to buy a highclass one as he is a man who never hesi ¬ tates at spending money for a good thoroughbred thoroughbredR R F Carman has a pair of eligibles for the big race The Boy which he nominated himself and 1aatoral Swain which was named for it by H A Porter When Carman entered The Boy he also put Jn Auntie Normandie and Due de Guise the latter two for Wilfrid Viau for whom he was training it that time timeVancouvers Vancouvers recent winning race gives Willis Rharpe Kilmer a ray of hope at least in the stake and while it was the first win for the Odgen Lady Alberta colt it demonstrated that he will j stand training and if he does trainer Henry Mc Daniel is confident that he will make a highclass race horse He is bred to go any distance and McDaniel has spent many an hour working on him in an effort to get him into racing condition despite his inclination to go amiss several times timesAlthough Although he is not actively connected with racing jjnt now James W Corrigan could not drop interest in Mich a race as the Latonia Championship Stakes mid he named two horses for it High Cloud and Sweeping Glance both of which he has kept eligi ¬ ble The former is a bay colt by Ultimus Umbra while Sweeping Glance is a bay filly sired by Sweep dam the good mare Reginella Corrigan was formerly associated with Price HcKinney in the ownership of a racing stable but the outfit was disposed of during the war because of pressing business He has always shown his love for the Hjwrt and to see his colors carried in such a stako would be a source of much satisfaction to him Continued OB second page KENTUCKYS BIG FALL RACE XContinued Trom first page U It Gerry of New York has a promising candi ¬ date in Balustrade aiid this colt has been racing In such a manner this summer as to indicate that a long route will be just to his liking He was the oiily horse nominated for the stake by his owner and if lie does not go amiss between now and October it looks like a certainty that he will be sent west to contest for the big prize lie seems to perform equally well in any kind of going aiid this will be a big tiling in his favor as well as for his owner as there will be no danger of his being shipped so far and then not get a chance to run because of a possibility of a muddy track trackW W B Co t ajlowed his nine nominations to dwindle downito a single one Natural Bridge chiefly be ¬ cause the other eight entries did not show near the form he expected of them In Natural Bridge a bay colt by Bridge of Allan Isette Coe has a horse which when right has always shown evi ¬ dence of having plenty of racing merit The distance of onemHe and threequarters should not prove troublesome for him as he is bred to run far and as her Is in capable hands there will be little or no question regarding his condition on the day of the race raceGcorge Gcorge Moms King Plaudit was nominated for the rich stake by the Brighton Stable owned by George D Smith of New York and kept eligible by his present owner The same is true of Lord Brighton wfiich now belongs to Sam Hildrcth King Plaudit was looked upon as one of the best threeyearolds of the year in the early spring andt In the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico he fin ¬ ished fourth to such highclass horses as Sir Bar ¬ ton Eternal and Sweep On He was right in the fast earlyt pace set by Sir Barton the tirst part of the race but tired toward the end due no doubt to tjie fact that he may have needed another race ortwo While many of the eliglbles for the Latonia Championship Stakes were bred by A B Hancock he has none In therace to carry his colors How ¬ ever he will be more than delighted if one of his breeviing should viri it not because of the monetary value to tlie breeder of the winner but because ofthe prestige it would give the sire of the vic tofionsliorse There are qulteafew of the progeny of Celt in
