FAVORITES DAY AT LATONIA 1 Jorice Outraces Clintonville in the Afternoons Feature. Bettina Stays a Mile in Good Style Beaming Beauty Wins for Owner Bradley. BY J. L. DEMPSEY. LATONIA, Ky., October 13. Sprinters were given opportunity to perform in the feature race, the ,000 handicap at three-quarters, the chief monetary offering on todays card. Five fleet ones went to the post, but Jorice easily proved her superiority and won in easy style from Clintonville, with George Starr just beating Ocean Sweep for tliird place. The non-staying Out the Way again displayed a great turn of speed, but after leading for n half mile he retired to ultimately land as whipper-in. The entirely pleasant racing conditions that have prevailed here for some time continue and the great mnss of racing devotees in these parts are taking advantage and continue flocking to the course in great numbers. Todays racing offering was somewhat above the ordinary midweek card, and it was productive of some excellent racing, featured by several close finishes. Form was well conserved, for most of the winners came out of the ranks of favorites. The mile dash, contested by a dozen two-year-pds for a purse of ,000, brought with its running a bad jam on the first -turn, and it caused Napoo, ridden by Mangan, to go down in a lfeap: Xucklly no; others.in the race-i went down - and . it terminated lii nothing more serious than a bad shaking up for the rider and no injury to the horse. This race, as- well as the three-quarters dash for two-year-olds, was accounted for bya representative from .T. N. Camdens stable. His Bettina landed the mile dash and Dark Ben, a son of the famous Ben Brush, showed himself to be far above the ordinary to land the shorter race, considering Ids slow beginning and his exhaustive effort to work his way through the compact field. On the stretch turn his chances seemed none too rosy, but he responded gamely to Lykes persistent urging and managed to get up in the last few strides to overhaul All Right Sir. Furbelow, which in a former race, figured in a disqualification because of her interference to others right nt the end, again proved a torment to her backers in the opening dash, in which she was favorite. .Her refusal to join with the others at the start and her subsequent unwillingness to extend herself fully, despite the persuasions of her rider, caused her to be hopelessly out of any chance after the first eighth and it was useless to continue", so her rider eased her up. E. K. Bradleys Beaming Beauty, which has been racing well here, landed the jmrse from Gipsy Queen and Lady Luxury. Mnzola, which should have been victress in a previous race, but I succumbed as a result of poor riding, was given a good ride and had no difficulty in winning this afternoon from Sams Boy and Missed the Time. Thomas McDowell, member of the Kentucky State Racing Commission, and who is racing several horses here, was an arrival today from Lexington. It was his first visit to the track since the opening. Most of the big delegation that went to Kenilworth Park to witness the Sir Barton-Man o War race returned this morning. Mndge F., in the final race, entered for ,400, was claimed by H. Fields at a cost of ,000. Rulndin, also in the same race, was claimed by Snyder and Holmes for ,900.
