LATONIA CHAMPIONSHIP FIELD SIXTY-THREE PRESENT ELIGIBLE S TO TEE RICHEST FALL THREE-YEAR-OLD STAKES OF 1920 THE LIST OF THOSE STILL IN AND RACING FIG URES ABOUT THE MOST PROMISING TWENTY-SEVEN CANDIDATES Many valuable and justly coveted races still impend in Kentucky and Maryland racing. Foremost of these is the Latonia Championship Stakes, which will have its second running at Latonia Saturday, October 23. This great race, in a way the American St. Lcger, had its first running last year, when its gross value was a shade less than 0,000, to be exact 9,650, of vhich the winner, Mad Hatter, took 4090. Because of a detrimental change in the conditions of the race and a smaller entry list, its gross and net value will not be near as much this year. But it is still a worth-winning race, one, of the richest of the United States for three-year-olds exclusively. As is not infrequently the case in connection with stake races which close for entries long before their time for decision, various causes operated to make the field small numerically on the occasion of its first running, only eight going to the post. Similar influences this year seem destined to bring about a like result. But there is distinct promise of a more strenuously contested race than it was when Mad .Hatter so easily triumphed over Sway. For a time there was a feeling that H. P. Whitney held a mortgage on this years race with his John P. Grier, Upset, Wildair and Damask. Of late it has become apparent that its foreclosure is to be formidably contested. Colins best son, On Watch, has been giving such imposing displays of great speed under high weight as to cast serious doubt over the Whitney -eaWy.J following. The Championship Stakes of 1919 had 471 entries. That of 1920 342. The changes in the conditions of the race referred to affects its value to such an extent that, with eight starters, the winner will take less, than 5,000, which compares poorly with Mad Hatters big winning. Even so, it is the main prize of our fall campaign and well worth any mans winning. At present the probable starters seem John P. Grier, Upset, Wildair, On Watch, Cleopatra, Fair Gain, Best Pal and Sterling, with Westwood and Captain Alcock as possibilities. The following are the conditions for the race: Latonia Championship Stakes for 1920, 5,000 added. By subscription of 5.00 each cash to accompany entry. For three-year-olds foals of 1917; 5,000 to be added by the Kentucky Jockey Club, Incorporated, of which ,000 to second horse, ,000 to third horse and ,000 to fourth horse. The original nominator of the winner to receive ,000, of the second horse 00, of the third horse 00 and of the fourth horse 00. Colts and geldiflgs to carry 122 pounds; fillies 119 pounds. Acceptances through the entry box the day before the race at the usual time of closing. In addition to first money, the owner of the winning horse will be presented with a beautiful trophy valued at ,000. One and three-quarters miles.
