HOLIDAYaZECROWD Present at Latonia Monday and Sees Spirited Racing. Pindar Peel and Treasurer Victorious by Small Margins in the Main Contests. j i LATONIA, Ky., October SO. Spirited rue- : ing marked the running of today:s program : here, witnessed by an attendance of almost holiday sis?. At no time this saascn or dur- r . ing the spring has the attendance been larger ! j on Monday. Betting was corresponding to I ! the crowd and it served to make liberal prices j I against the winners. i No better contests have been noted any- j where than that which came in the feature 1 j ! races. The one at three-quarters produced a particular thrilling finish, with Pindar Peel ! j the victor by a scant nose from Honor Man, i . with Isosceles in third place only by a neck ; in back cf the pair. j I Be Good was made the choice in the race, j i hut she was cn her bad post acting behavior and Corcoran failed to get her away prompt- I ly with the others, resulting in her virtually j I being left at the post. Pindar Peel, under Pools hustling tactics, went into the lead I I at once, first attended by Billy Brush and ; later by Isosceles. This pair during the j I last eighth seemed to have the race between ; them, but suddenly loomed Honor Man with ! a great rush and it was only by dint of hard riding that Pool succeeded in keeping Tindar Peel long enough in front to win out. . i SWAYS FINE HACK. I In the mile and seventy yards came an un- j j expected result when Sway, which after his i j grueling race with Fantcche in their memor- ! j able dead heat and subsequent run-off was I thought unlikely to figure to any great ex- j i tent, surprised by putting up one of the most : stubborn finishes of his career and forcing i j ! Treasurer out to the last ounce to win by a j small margin. Cap Rock, which had shown j ! the most speed from the start, tired fast when the actual racing began in the stretch. The time of the race 1:42 is only one second from the best record made for the distance over this- track. Jockey J. Owens, whose riding since becom- ! ing attached to the stable of J. C. Milam has taken on a wonderful brace, figured largely I in the results of todays racing, scoring with , ! three of his mounts. He inaugurated his j ! success right in the opener With the sud- ! ! denly improved Rapid Day. The latter has , been racing indifferently in his recent starts, but the betting barometer indicated that he would perform in better style this afternoon. He did, though Owens had to urge him hard I to down Beg Pardon, with Lugs following j I in third place Last One, of which much j was expected and a winner in his previous i ! start, was never a serious contender. j Edward Cebrians colors were carried to j victory in the second race by Owens astride j Belle Amie. She got up in the last seventy ! yards to outstay the favorite Prince Tii Tii, i Lucky Bun heading the others. The dozen ordinary ones in the third race produced another exciting finish, with Tony Beau just j managing to down the overconfidently ridden Foster Embry, and Black Thong in third place. There was a claim of foul for in- j terference near the finish, but the stewards ; would not entertain it. GUEST OF HOZNOR REPEATS. Guest of Honor, a winner in his former " start, came right back with a winning performance in the sixth race and won from i Away and Romping Mary. The latter raced as well as the winner, but began poorly and had to be ridden wide to avoid interference. She closed an immense gap during the last eighth. The concluding dash, in which some good platers met. went to Kewpie ONeil, which won from his former stablcmate, Jouett, and Baigneur finished third. William Ryan, well known in racing circles, was a visitor here today en route from New York to Chicago, where he will remain briefly before going on an extended hunting trip. Mose Goldblatt will have charge of the Harry Payne Whitney horses and those of his own at New Orleans this winter. There were a number of arrivals from Toledo Monday. Among the owners were W. M. Cain and Thomas Sanford, who reported that their hprses had been transferred to Dade Park. 12. Petzoldt. the good apprentice under contract to the Cain and Sanford stable, was also an arrival to day. Jockeys Lee Mink and Steve Wida were other arrivals from Toledo. Mose Goldblatt has arranged with James Rowe. Sr.. to take over J. Thomas, the Whitney stables apprentice rider, for winter racing. The stewards, owing to the scarcity of good jockeys, will terminate on Friday evening all crusting suspensions for rough riding at this meeting.
