: ; DARE SAY GLORIOUSLY Overcomes Handicap of Faulty Start to Win Impressively. Lad o Mines Auspicious Debut Bradleys Toney in a Sensational Victory. LATONIA, Ky., Sept. 25. The mile and a sixteenth race with ,800 added introduced for the first time this fall the colors of Frederic Johnson, whose Dare Say, backed into . strong favoritism, won from a good band which included Postillion, Beginners Luck, Guest of Honor and J. G. Denny. Her success came after she appeared hopelessly out of it, the result of a faulty start due to one of the assistants failure to release her in time when the barrier was sprung. Some day when there is a two-horse race the starter will be in a quandry how to apportion his assistants to hold. The start was a bad one, the horses with an outer position, net held, were away with much the best of it. Dare Say being far out of it Postillion took a long lead at once with Dare Say last, but she began moving up steadily and her light impost enabled her to get into contention before the half mile was reached. She gradually overhauled the others in the next quarter until Postillion; was the only one in front of her in the last eighth. The leader was racing at her. best pace but soon began shortening her stride and Dare Say continuing gamely drew into the lead seventy yards from the finish. Beginners Luck held the others safe as J. G. Denny quit and E. Kummer cou!l not make Guest of Honor extend himself. The race was a fast one, the final time being 1:44. but Dare Say with her poor send off had to race much faster to accomplish her success. A fairly good racing offering, coupled with the fine weather, attracted another big attendance to the course. Interesting sport was provided, with several close finishes to feature. ANOTHER LARGE CROWD. W. E. Caskey, Jr., uncovered a good colt in his maiden starter Lad o Mine, which took the measure Ci eleven others tnat started in the second race. It was the colts initial start and he originally had an inner post position, but was moved to the outer position, from which he began with an advantage and showed the way throughout to win from Auburn and Pillager. Adolphus was the favorite in the race, but he got tangled in the barrier when it failed to function properly, causing him to be away poorly. He raced into prominence in the first quarter, but tired in the stretch. Lad o Mine held to his task like a veteran and when urged under pressure drew cut steadily in the last eighth. The fifth race brought to the post some of the higher grade of platers and it furnished a sensational victory for Bradleys Tony, which coming with a rush through the last eighth got up in the last stride to nose out Right On Time, with Brunswick, the favorite, in third place. Kelsays effort on Brunswick was decidedly weak but the best he is capable of. Right On Time under a hustling ride moved promptly into the lead and looked all over the winner until Brad- leys Toney come with his sensational rush. Jockey Hurn, on the winner, was held re-. sponsible for the crowding that came soon after the start and was suspended for five days by the stewards for rough riding. OH SUSAXXA AGAIN. J. N. Camdens Oh Susanna continues on : her winning ways and added another bracket to her score when she came home in the sixth race in which a number of highly regarded fillies contested. Oh Susanna led from the start. She was accompanied by her stable companion Tinamou, in the early stages but Bignonia headed the latter in the stretch and she just lasted for second place. Birdesmaid, after being ridden wide, came with a great rush in the stretch and was in a fair way of beating the winner at a longer distance when the saddle slipped on her and it took McDermotts best effort to sit steady. The consistent Sakah won another purse for his owner, J. T. Looney, when he just managed to outstay Sagamok, with Brunell. following in third place. Oo La La was the favored one in the race, but she showed a dull performance and was done after going half a mile. The winner led for the entire mile and three-sixteenths. Brunell was claimed by M. Shapoff for ,600. The community house at the Latonia track built for the benefit of stable hands and jockeys was opened informally Wednesday night and several hundred visitors were on hand to inspect it. Judging by the interest manifested the club is going to be very popu-. lar. Ed W. Simms, interested in My Play and J. L. Rhinock, former member of congress from this district, were visitors from New York and will remain .to witness My Plays performance in the Latonia Cup race next Saturday.
