V AFTERMATH OF BIG RACE NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct 20. Admiral Grayson, owner of My Own, expressed pleasure that Zev had won the International and expressed the hope that ha would be able -to start My Own in a race with Zev. In this connection Admiral Grayson said that he had assured Matt J. Winn that he would send My Own to Latonia to be a starter in the Latonia Championship Stakes. Trainer S. C. Hildreth made It known some time ago that he was willing to run Zev against My Own and also has expressed his intention of shipping Zev to start in the Latonia Championship. It now appears that Latonia is destined to be the scene of the final championship battle and the Latonia Championship Stakes will be-all that the nrme of the race implies. The heavy going that prevailed influenced a change of opinion on the part of many, and also caused others to become befuddled. Sentiment had much to do to install Zev a favorite. Before the International race Matt J. Winn, on behalf of the Kentucky Jockey Club, offered trainer Jarvis" a stake of 00,000 if he won to run Papyrus against My Own at Latonia or Churchill Downs. Mr. Jarvis thanked Mr. Winn for the offer and said that he would take the matter under advisement Steve Donoghue after the race said,: "I have no excuse to offer. My horse tired under me and it must be conceded that Zev today was the best racer. I ani profusely grateful for the cordiaf treatment I have received during my stay in America. I want to lay particular stress on the kindly feeling I have for jockey Sande, who was gracious in all his actions toward me." Jockey Sande, who rode the winner, said after the race: "At no time after the start did I have a feeling that the English-owned horse was comparable with my mount Zev moved into the lead without urging on my part and he was well under restraint while only a short margin in the lead. When I called on him after going the first mile Zev moved away with vim and I again took hold of him with the intention of giving him as much of a breathing spell as possible. When I observed Papyrus struggling to keep pace and faltering I again took hold of Zev and he was only going at his own leisure near the end. "I am happy to have won the race and I congratulate Stephen Donoghue for his sportsmanship throughout" Zev acted nervously in the twenty-foot ring that he was being saddled in, while his rival appeared sedately in the big inclosure surrounded by a fence.
