BEST PAL IN FORM AGAIN | | • ■ A Wins the Latonia Feature Race with Nothing Much to Beat. ♦ Jeanne Bowdre an Easy Victress — Keene Brothers Capture a Brace of Good Races. • BY J. L. DEMPSEY. LATONIA, Kj-„ June 20.— E. R. Bradley added a purse this afternoon to the meager score lie has achieved this year when his Best Pal. the "ace" of his present string triumphed over some fast ones which started in the three -quartern dash. Adonis followed him home and Jouett landed third. He was held at short odds and deserved the confidence. Cor be clearly outclassed his opponents and won in easy style. J test Pal has been on the ailing list most of the spring and only during the last week began taking strenuous training. He displayed all his old-time speed, though subjected to pressure, Taylor keeping up hard riding tactics from the start. As a result of his early fast racing he began tiring somewhat in the last sixteenth, but be was sufficiently in advance of the others to make his victory certain. The time, 1 :13, was not extraordinary and equaled that of Jeanne Bowdre In the opening dash, bat the track was dull as a result of the hard storm which swept this section early in the day. The track needed the rain, for it was becoming deep in dust and the heavy rainfall was absorbed steadily and helped the going. Track conditions fooled several of the owners, who applied for permission to withdraw their charges on account of their inability to run in mud. The stewards granted the requests. The heavy downpour, which still fell In Cincinnati before the race time, had a tendency to reduce the attendance at the track, but no rain fell during the afternoon on the Kentucky side of the Ohio river and the absentee* missed an afternoon of good sport, even though there was a lack of features carded. KIWKBT RIDING WELL. The J. O. and C,. II. Keene colors were much in evidence during the afternoon and two representatives in the stable earned their respective purses. Both were ridden by Kennedy, who seems to be showing the most consistent form at present f any of the riders here. The stables success was inaugurated in the opening race when Jeanne Bowdre won easily. She was at odds-on and never gave her supporters much concern after disposing of .Mom. which showed a good flight of speed in leading until reaching the stretch. Margaret Winsor was contending for the purse at the end, but .reanne Bowdre held her safe Fair Alice, a daughter of Luke IfcLuke — Forest Lady, starting in the sixth race with some fairly good two-year-olds, completed the double for the orange and black sash colors. but her victory was a fluky one. as First Ward, the favorite, ran as if he was best and with hetter luck might have won. George J. Bongs Dorius won a lucky purs when he outstayed Tulane in the closing dash. Tulane had to be riden severely in the early running to dispose of Una Clark and. after suceveding. Heupel rode him wide, entailing a loss of ground and enahling Dorius next the inner rail, to get up to win in the last strides. The second race brougth out a band of maiden two-year-old fillies and Lady Gorham made a runaway with the purse. She attained a lead of ten lengths in the first quarter over the others and, though tiring fast in the last sixteenth, won easily enough from T. J. Pcndergasts Kennmare. KEWPIE OXEILL 31 AXES AMENDS. Kewpie ONeil made amends for his recent defeat by winning the third race in good style. He displayed the most speed from the start and having no one to force him to do his best in the early running, enabled him to lead through the stretch and stay in front of Fictor. The latter was best of the others and had little trouble holdint, on to second place. Make lp and Bouis A. was the order of the finish in the fifth race, the J. B. Respess representative beating Bouis A. home by a scant neck, the latter coming at the end with his usual sensational rush. Bed Begs, a highly regarded one in this race and ridden by W. Pool, furnished the chief incident of the race when he stumbled and unseated his rider just as the s*tart came. Bed Begs proceeded riderless and caused several of the jockeys to ride their mounts wide on the first turn in an effort to get away from Ren Legs. He moved out toward the outer rail after he had headed the others and left the Continued on twelfth page.
