DEMPSEYLATONIA LATONIA Ky July 10 Kentuckians found considerable consolation this afternoon for recent victories carried off by eastern owned horses in stakes when Minto II carrying the colors of W V Thraves won the Daniel Boone Handicap at a mile and a half and having a net value to the winner of 11225 Harry Payne Whitneys Dr Clark landed in second place and Cleopatra third with Drastic pressing her closely for that portion of the money Only on one other occasion lias Minto II s performance been equaled from a time standpoint This occurred last fall at Laurel when Sam C Hildreths Thunderclap ran a mile and a half in 229 the same time that it took Minto II to cover the track liere once and a half Aside from the time performance Minto II s race was a sparkler for lie stuck gamely to Dr Clark which made a killing pace in the early running and when the Whitney representative showed signs of distress Minto II rushed by him with a dash He was still going fast at the finish and could have continued a longer journey without seeming danger of being headed On the strength of her recent good work Cleopatra found many partisans in the big throng and ruled a strong favorite but after flattering extensively for the first mile she tired badly when called on and had she much far ¬ ther to go Drastic would have overhauled her for third place Beaverkill ran a fairly good race but Oniond the other starter seemed out of iilace in the race and finished far back backW W B Millers Gold Digger funished an upset in the sixth ace which brought out the best band of youngsters now
