FIELD FOR LATONiA OAKS LATONIA, Ky., July 7. The Latonia spring and early summer season of racing will come to a conclusion Saturday with the running of a superlative card of seven races. The getaway days card will have a double stake feature in the historic Latonia Oaks and the recently-instituted Daniel Boone Handicap. Both will have ?10,-000 in added money. The Oaks is at a mile and a quarter, while the Daniel Boone is a sixteenth of a mile shorter. These long distance races always appeal to the popular imagination and this will make them doubly attractive. The Oaks will bring out a field of six crack fillies, all of which have been figuring prominently in racing this year to date. II. P. Whitney is going to make a strong bid for first honors with his eastern filly Prudish and, although Latonia racegoers have not seen her in action, they know of her fine reputation on the eastern tracks and will probably back her into favoritism. Startle will be the mainstay of the westerners and will be ably assisted by such as Martha Mallon, Margaret Winsor and Precious Lula in trying to give first honors to Kentucky. Bonus, another eastern-owned candidate, will have a good following. The following arc the carded starters in the Oaks, together with their positions, weights and riders: P.P. Horse. Jockey.
