FINE LOUISVILLE RACING - Well-Matched Horses Attract a Well-Rewarded Attendance. 4 Angon, Last in His Previous Race, Runs Away from Jack Hare Jr. and Minute .Man. BY J. L. DEMPSEY. LOUISVILLE, Ky., November 10. Todays splendid racing offering, consisting of well-matched and small fields of the better grade of horses in these parts, served to overcome objectionable weather conditions and brought cut the full quota of racegoers here. The big attendance was not disappointed in the measure of their entertainment, for exciting racing was the order throughout the day, but again attended with disappointments for the majority of backers who pinned their hopes to favorites. They began auspiciously when Loveliness raced home in the opener, but afterward not another choice, led its opponents home. There were "no sensationally long-priced winners, as in the case of the previous day. La Foudre and Tulsa being the outstanding outsiders victorious. Botli their victories were of the surprising order, particularly La Foudres, which at one stage cf the race was so far in the rear of the others that she seemingly liad no chance of winning, but she came with a great rush in. the last quarter and won goving away. . Tulsa, which only graduated from the maiden gnkslrece.gtte. -and in. the chejifest rklnd-of- a-f lejd; ."doK"tfie" -measure of DrTXarmeh this afternoon in the seven-eighths purse race that served as the .secondary feature. There was an extensive amount of racing luck to aid Tulsa in this victory and had Dr. Carmen not been brought wide lirtb the stretch he would undoubtedly have reversed the finish. C. W. Clarks White Star showed a fine performance in winning the sixth race, in which some fairly good youngsters . met. He raced M.errimac and Pongee into defeat in the first half mile and had enough .speed In reserve to outstay Millersburg. The latter ran a good race, for she was away slowly and suffered from interference when she tried to get through next to the inner rail just before reaching the stretch. J. C. Stone, which had. a hard time yesterday in getting home in advance of Gourmand, had: by far an easier time beating the opponents he met in the second "race this afternoon. He was restrained until reaching the stretch, where he raced by Harlock with a rush. Harlock had to stand a hard drive to outstay Rib. The latter.might have been seConcl but for being sharply cut off on the stretch turn. "GOOD THING" A FIZZLE. All Right Sir proved much the best of those starting in the third race. He indulged Slipalong and Castlereagh with the lead until straightened out in the stretch, where he drew out decisively. Castlereagh, under hard urging, outstayed the "good thing" Crack, o Dawn for second place. Lloyd -Gentrys Angon, which in a preceding race had finished a bad last, accounted for the three-quarters handicap, contested by good sprinters and serving as the afternoons feature race. Ills victory was a hollow one, with Col. Taylor in second place and Sterling following. The early running at a fast pace over the dull track was dominated by Col. Taylor, with Minute Man and Jack Hare Jr. in close pursuit. Minute Man and Jack Hare Jr., both making a wide stretch turn, dropped rearward when straightened for the rush to the finish and Angon, which had saved much ground on the turn, moved up swiftly and overhauled Col. Taylor when a sixteenth out to win as his rider pleased. Sterling, which had been far back for a half mile, came resolutely in the stretch and just failed of overhauling Col. Taylor for second place. It was not a truly run race. Jockey Pool allowed Loveliness to drop far back in the opening race while the leader Golden Dreams was making a. fast pace, but in the stretch Loveliness came along and passed Golden Dreams in -leisurely style to win as her rider pleased. Golden Dreams outstayed Cozette for second money. Former service men will be guests of the Kentucky Jockey Club tomorrow. All men in uniform will be admitted free of charge and the occasion will be celebrated by the Armistice Day Handicap. A parade that will include veterans of the World War, Spanish-American War Veterans and Confederate and Union Veterans will take place at 12:30 and the men will then come to the track. The jockey club will serve coffee and sandwiches to disabled soldiers and veterans of the Civil War.
