CHILHOWEE BEATER Downfall Due Mainly to Beini Unprepared at Start. Jockey Stutts Hero of Friday Pro gram, He Riding Three Winners Including Kentucky Cardinal. LATONIA, Ky., Sept 26. The mile handicap, attracting five highly regarded ones resulted in the defeat of Chilhowee, a pronounced favorite. His downfall was mainlj the result of the poor start he got, the colt being unprepared when the barrier was released, and as a result he was away In last place and off his balance. He never seemed able to fully settle in his stride, and though he moved up determinedly his exhaustive effort In the early stages, coupled with his heavy impost and the poor riding he had, were too severe handicaps for him to overcome, and he finished in third place, The Araucanian winning from Bedford. Stutts alertness on The Araucanian had a contributing part In the Baker representatives victory. He had him away In motion and kept him in close proximity to Better Luck. When the latter began tiring he rushed The Araucanian into a good lead and it was well ho did, for Bedford made a determined bid in the stretch, but failed to get up by a short half length. Bedford was taken far out of it in the first half mile, but he responded vigorously when Mooney called on him. There were five starters in the race, with Chilhowee regarded as almost a certainty to triumph over his opponents, and his defeat was a dampener for the big crowd that came out to witness this feature race and several other good offerings on the card. Weather and track conditions were again ideal and helped extensively to bring about interesting sport Jockey H. Stutts carried off the riding honors by victories on Silver Slippers, The Araucanian and Kentucky Cardinal. He is riding in good form and has a big following at pesent who gave him a big reception after his victory on Kentucky Cardinal. MAKES IMPRESSIVE SHOWING. It was this crack colts first start since his return from the East and he triumphed decisively over the big band he met in the sixth race. He was held in restraint during the early stages, while Almadel forced a fast pace, but he overhauled the Headley representative with ease during the stretch run. Almadel, after showing good speed, began tiring, but was too far in advancer cf tho others to relinquish second place. Dr. A. L. Biggs finished in third place, just managing to outstay Bow Bowers. The latter ran a fine race, considering his slow start rho Badger, of which much was expected, tired in the last eighth. J. C. Milam won a purse with Midwestern when that colt led a good band of platers to the finish, but he also lost, for J. H. Steffen claimed Midwestern at a cost of ,200. Midwestern raced as if the best and he closed a good gap during the last quarter to ultimately win drawing out. SlicExr was his closest follower at the finish and Escapader managing to outstay the others in third place. Escapader and Slicker were the prominent ones in the early running, with .Midwestern far back, but McAuliffe succeeded in getting Midwestern going fast in the last quarter and, racing around the others like a shot, ho moved by the leaders and held the race safe a sixteenth out. PUBE DEE HOME FIEST. The introductory dash brought to the post a dozen of the more lowly regarded ones but their even calibre contributed to an interesting contest, the leaders racing grouped and in the final drive Pure Dee, the favorite, succeeded in passing Brother John to win by a short margin, with Spats finishing in third place. There were several claims put in for Pure Dee, C. H. Trotter being the lucky one in the draw and secured him at a cost cf ,900. The second race enabled Silver Slippers to graduate from the maiden ranks with a lucky victory, Stutts superior riding skill bringing her home a nose before Broken Toy, with Fair Vision close up. Broken Toy and Fair Vision went out at an exhaustive pace for three-eighths, with Silver Slippers benefitted and held in third place. Fair Vision began tiring after rounding into the stretch and Broken Toy drew out as if a certain winner, but Stutts brought Silver Slippers up with a rush and Blind began taking Broken Toy out and later she swerved to the inner rail again. Had she continued a straight course it is likely she would have won. The closing race, at a mile and a quartor, brought twelve to the post and it resulted in victory for Nulli Secundus, which showed as good a performance as she did in her last start, leading the entire way and winning well under restraint from H. E. Coleman, with Uncle Hugh following In third place. S. A. Stewart owner of the Portsmouth Stable, arrived today and will remain over for Saturdays races.
