WINNING COMBINATION Heremon, Under I. Parkes Vigorous Ride, Wins Feature. Isosceles Finally Graduates for Maiden Class in Race Marked Fall of Favorite. LATONIA. Ky., Oct. 10. The mil3 purse, which served as todays outstanding feature of Latonias racing, was taken by John E. Maddens Heremon under a good ride on the part of I. Parke. Oui Oui and Buster had a strenuous duel for second place, which the Audley Farm Stables filly just managed to get. There were six starters in the race, with Heremon and Oui Oui the two to absorb most of the betting attention. Heremon was hustled into a good lead at once, pursued by Buster and Pindar Peel, but the light weight that Heremon had up soon caused him to leave his early pursuers, but he was threatened some just before reaching the stretch, where Oui Oui began moving up in resolute style. The filly, however, tired when a sixteenth out and Heremon had little difficulty thereafter. The mile time 1:38 was a creditable performance. Buster, after retiring and seemingly done, came again in the last sixteenth and barely succeeded in getting up for second place. After Pindar Peels retirement the placed trio had the race between them. Ideal weather prevailed here this afternoon and it helped to bring out an immense attendance to view the sport. The racing was interesting, even in the dashes where the cheaper-classed ones furnished the contention. DISQUALIFY BOBBIE SHEA. The outstanding incident developed with the running of the third race, in which Saga-mook, the favorite, ridden by Garner, fell as a result of the interference he suffered from Bobbie Shea, ridden by Harvey. Sea Prince, another starter in the race, bumped into the prostrate Sagamook and lost his rider. Bobbie Shea came on after the mishap to land in third place, but was promptly disqualified for his interference to Sagamook. Isosceles, which has been a frequent failure, showed a good effort to down Marine Corps in the final strides. Atta Boy IL was placed third when Bobbie Shea was disqualified. Jockey Garner was considerably shaken by the fall. He informed the stewards that he could not tell how the fall occurred. Jockey Harvey, who had the mount on Bobbie Shea, was not punished, as the patrol judge, who promptly reported the interference, was not positive that Harvey subjected Sagamook to the interference willfully. Donges, for which John S. Ward paid 5,-000 last year, was an outstanding favorite in the claiming race, fourth on the card, in which he met some good platers, and suffered defeat by the narrowest of margins, Ten-Sixtyeading him home by an inch or so. It was a spectacular struggle that the pair furnished during the last sixteenth, with the winner in doubt until the final stride, Anonymous, overcoming interference, came gamely near the end to land in third place. STOKE AGE PROVIDES UPSET. Stone Age, practically neglected, furnished the upset of the opening dash, when he got tip in the last few strides to beat Lord Allen, with Redwood following closely in the wake of the pair. The leading six in the field of twelve starting here were in such close alignment a sixteenth out that it was uncertain which of the sextet would land at the finish in advance. The Audley Farm Stables Lord Martin lought it out hammer and tongs with Everglade all during the last eighth of the second race and the pair came to the finish heads apart, both driving to the limit Corinth, which had been a close follower, outstayed Peter Maloney for third place. Glide, which won in a previous start, duplicated her good race to outstay Stage Coach by a scant neck. Fronk gave Glide a vigorous ride and it contributed to her success. Stage Coach was possibly the best in the race, but she was forced to race wide from tho start and it entailed a considerable loss of ground for her. She just did outstay Earl Pool for second place. Another close finish came in the closing contest, which Hold Mo won by a scant head over Tippo Sahib, with "Who Knows Me third. It marked a double victory for John Lowe during the afternoon, Isosceles having scored in a previous race. Parke gave the winner a masterly ride. George Land, who will have charge of the twelve horses that J. C. Milam will race at Huntington, shipped his charges this afternoon. Jockey G. Walls will do the riding for tho stable.
