IN THE KENTUCKY RACING FIELD STATISTICS OF SPRING MEETINGS SHOW SUBSTANTIAL GAINS OVER PREVIOUS YEARS AND A GREATER DISTRIBUTION OF MONEY AMONG OWNERS 1he close of racing at I.atonia recently brought to a successful conclusion the spring meetings of the "Three I." circuit Latonin, Louisville and Lexington. All previous Kentucky records for receipts and distribution were broken. The stakes and purses were larger and the daily average distribution increased from 1,097 in 1!20 to 3,425. The general distribution of the spoils of the nice track among winning owners was a reflection of the abounding prosperity of the racing organizations. From the outset of the spring racing season to its close patrons of the sport turned out in astonishing numbers to view the noble rivalry of the fleet thoroughbreds which furnished so many memorable contests. Xot alone did Kentucky manifest its traditional devotion to racing, but from all parts of the country there was a constant and profitable attendance that assisted materially in swelling the revenues of the associations. This was a natural outgrowth of the many highly important stake races which now contribute to the dignity and attractiveness of present-day Kentucky racing. There were thirteen new track records made during the spriug campaign, one at Lexington, ten at Churchill Downs and two at I.atonia. The new records were made for the half mile, four and a half furlongs, three-quarter mile, seven-eighths mile, mile, one and one-eighth miles, one and one-quarter miles and one and three-sixteenths miles. The following tabulations give complete details of the spring campaign of 1921: Quite appropriately a Kentucky owner and breeder, Edward H. ISradley. plays the part of leading winning owner in the Kentucky field of racing for the spring season of 1921 recently concluded. For a number of years the Bradley colors have been prominent in the states annual campaign and last year, for the first time, Mr. Bradley enjoyel the proud position of first place on the list of its winners with 9,170 to his credit. This sum, however, has been largely surpassed during the early 1921 campaign, as the .substantial amount -f 98,992 is placed to the credit of the K. R. Itradley horses. A goodly portion of this has been earned by those two sterling performers Be-liave Yourself and Black Servant, whose achievements this year have made turf history. Montforl Jones, whose total earnings last year only amounted to ,472, is second on the list, with 2,393 to his credit. The greater part of this large accumulation has been earned by Fair Phantom and Miss Joy. a pair of two-year-old fillies which are unquestionably the best of their class, and will probably win many more rich prizes in their future engagements this year. !. F. Baker, who is third on the list with 2,501, has also made great progress, his total winnings in 1920 only amounting to ,872. In Hekab, Casey and John Finn. Mr. Baker possesses three two-year-olds of great potentiality and which are likely to increase his total considerably before the curtain rings down on 1921 racing. Harry Payne Whitney, who was second on the list of Kentucky winners of 1920 with S.SHi, has fallen to seventh position and 9,725 this year, but there is still, plenty of opportunity for this popular turf patron to improve his position substantially.

Jockey Pool heads the list of winning riders of ho Kentucky spring season with forty-three wins. He-is closely followed by jockey Garner with forty-two winning mounts. The good horsemanship of jockey Lawrence Lyke was one of the features of the recent Kentucky campaign. To it in good part can be ascribed the excellent record of the K. B. Bradley stable. While only third with thirty-eight victories to his credit he is best in percentage of the leading riders. Good jockeyship was also shown by H. Lunsford. .1. Francis, .T. D. Mooney and others.
