Frakes Stable. ♦ ntlmexlcan One of Best In Barn — Plan Campaign Over Raceland Track — Reveries Gal Among Three-Year-Olds. » RACELAND, Ky., June 13.— R. C. Frakes, who for the past five years has been one of the most successful thoroughbred horse trainers in Kentucky, will campaign a stable of twenty-two horses during the Raceland summer meeting from July 4 to 21. Although Frakes has a number of horses capable of taking their share of feature races at any course in Kentucky, his main hope this year is two-year-olds and, suffice to say, his band includes some of the best in training in this state. In San Juan and Ultimexican, property of E. M. May and Gorham brothers, respectively, the popular trainer is equipped with two crack youngsters, which have taken the measure of many of the leading two-year-olds in the West. San Juan, a good looking chestnut filly, by Sweep On — Munition, and therefore a half sister to that noted campaigner, Battle Creek, has started twice and been victorious in each start, defeating Bosporus. Lady Witt, Star Forward and Louise Wilson in her last start. Bosporus, previous to meeting San Juan, had beaten Spooky, Tijuana Futurity winner, among others, by three lengths, and is regarded by her owner, E. B. McLean, as a formidable candidate for the richer two-year-old events yet to come this year. Ultimexican, a gelding by Ultimatum — Mexican Tea, has started four times this year and has never been out of the money. His record of two victories, one second and a third, is indeed impressive, and he is sure to develop into a youngster far above the average long before the year has ended in Kentucky. He had ample excuse for losing the two races which are not on the credit side of the ledger, as in his first start he was shuffled back soon after the start, and in the other was given a ride which cost him victory, the chart on the race saying Ultime.xican was "much the best." Other two-year-olds in the Frakes barn include Port o Play, bay colt, by The Porter—By Play ; Well Turned, bay filly, by The Porter — Wrack Past ; Ketchup, bay gelding, by Huon— Mazola : Danceaway, brown filly, by Whiskaway — Broom Dance ; Jane Logan, chestnut filly, by Ultimatum — Nettie K. : Vesta, chestnut filly, by Upset — Betty Dalme ; Deep River, bay colt, by Pebbles — Mornings Morning ; Easter Shadow, bay filly, by Torchbearer — Easter Flower ; Nellie Lyons, brown fily, by Huon — Bronzewing ; Bobbinalong, chestnut gelding, by Runny-mede — Simpatica ; Ben Vogt, black gelding, by Negofol — Helen Marie, and Sweep Maid, bay gelding, by Sweep — Sky Beam. The older horses, which Frakes will bring to Raceland, are Reveries Gal, winner of the Ashland Oaks at Lexington this spring, and three others races ; Old Fellow, a fre-i quent winner ; Elizabeth, Spotlight, Rejoice, Gale. Flying Pmbers and Ginestra. This band is as consistent as they come, Rejoice, Elizabeth, Reveries Gal and Old Fellow especially being valuable racing tools. Gines-[ tra recently graduated from the maiden ranks at Churchill Downs.
