SWEETS OF VICTORY i And Revenge for Breeders Futurity Fiasco Are E. R. Bradleys. I His Betty Beall Captures the Fort Thomas Stakes Chatterton h Wins Autumn Handicap. c t e LATONIA, Ky., October 1 E. R. Bradley i tasted the sweets of a stake victory this aft- ernbon and incidentally got some revenge C for Betty Bealls disqualification in the Breeders Futurity at Lexington when that c filly triumphed in the Fort Thomas Handi- t cap, with her stable companion Bright To- c morrow in second place and Alice Blue j Gown just getting up in time to down Bo i McMillan for third place. Thirteen, half the original number entered overnight, made the contest, with substan- c tial support accorded to practically all the i contestants. t The Bradley pair were prominent from the start, Betty Beall following the early pace- i maker closely and when Easter Bells quit, which she did just before reaching the i stretch, Betty Beall took up the pacemaking, i with Bright Tomorrow her closest rival. 1 Bo McMillan loomed up dangerous for a i period at this stage and so did Donges, but : the final eighth found the Bradley pair hold- : ing command with just a question which I of the pair would prove the winner. Thur- : bcr, on Bright Tomorrow, appeared to be de- 1 sirous to allow Betty Beall to win, for he I was seemingly not urging his mount over toward the end and it almost cost him sec- i ond place, for he failed to note the deter- i mined rush that Alice Blue Gown made, j She just missed second place by a neck and i beat home Bo McMillan a scant margin for third money. FAT OR CAUSES INTERFERENCE. Jockey Fator, on Donges, with an outer : position, caused some interference soon after the start when he cut across sharply and in so doing impeded Indial Trail. For his offense he was suspended for a period of fifteen days by the stewards. The victory netted Betty Beall ?C,880 and the C0 additional as Bright Tomorrows share of the stake enriched owner Bradley to the tune of ?7,4S0 net, deducting entrance and starting fees of both representatives. Frank J. Kelleys Chatterton, which has been a consistent winner this fall, figured in a sparkling victory in the Autumn Handicap, in which the cream of the sprinters in these parts met. His success was the more outstanding in view of the fact that soon after the start and for a poriod thereafter he was far back, but he moved up like a shot during the last quarter and saving ground by staying close to the inner rail wore down the : leaders and drew out in the last seventy yards to win from Cho Cho, with Surf Rider in third place. The latter, with his stablemate Fair Phantom, were the favored ones in the race and Fair Phantom flattered during the earlier part by following Braedalbane closely, but she gave way in the stretch and Braedalbane also retired in the last sixteenth. Showery weather did not materially decrease the attendance and the track did- not : suffer to any appreciable extent, for fast time i was the rule in most of the races. The running of the third race, a mile and I a sixteenth dash, was unsatisfactory. Sea i Court made a runaway affair of the race, while Merchant, which was expected to be a l strong contender, was given a weird ride and I kept under restraint until the race was practically - over. A. N. Akin finished second and 1 Tony Beau landed in third place. TOST HASTE A GOOD ONE. Gallaher Brothers uncovered another good youngster in the second race, a maiden two-year-old dash, at three-quarters. Post Haste began like a shot and spreadeagled the others. Pompous just managed to outstay The Clown for place. In the opening race White Star repeated his recent victory. He was lucky to find an opening at the stretch turn. He saved much ground and, sprinting into the lead, beat John S. Reardon and the poorly ridden Auntie May. Queen High furnished a surprise in the sixth race, which she won with ease after racing last for three-quarters of a mile. Pumps finished second, with Birdie G. third. Rekab showed early speed, but when his bad legs began to bother him he retired. The application of Charles Pierce for an apprentice license was approved by the Continued on sixteenth page.
