Also Shows Speed. ♦ ■ LATONIA, Ky., June 13— One of the best works of the current training season was that of the Warm Stables Flaunt, which, breezed five-eighths in 1:01V5, with approxi* mately 130 pounds up. The son of Sun Flag, a Cincinnati Trophy candidate, ran the first quarter in :23y5, the three-eighthS in :36% and the half in :48. Gilbert Mastin, director of the Warm Sta » ble affairs and nephew of Silas Mason, one of the owners, motored from Dunreath Farm near Lexington to witness the work. "X always thought Flaunt to be a good colt, and he has justified my confidence," was Mastins comment after the breeze. Cliff Porter, who is training the Sun Flag juvenile, as well as two others for the Warm Stable, is preparing him for his trophy engagement. Mastin is well pleased with the purchase of Epithet, and expects the son of Epinard to be ready to fill his mid-summer engagements. Mastin returned to the farm after witnessing the works, and stated he intends to take up the yearlings about July 1. Epithet, which is now quartered at Lincoln Fields with the other division of the Warm Stable which Jack Middleton is training, has been named for the leading fall stakes, and unless something unforeseen occurs he is due to fill them. Busy Monarch, the strapping son of Busy, American and Lady Delhi, which J. B. Res-pess named for the forty-ninth running of the Latonia Derby, the feature for Saturday, June 27, the opening day of the thirty-one day summer meeting, demonstrated that he was coming up to the race in grand fashion when he ran eight furlongs in 1:46* and was merely cantering all the way. Willie Gooler galloped the horse onc$ around and then pulled him up at the stand. He went away from that station and galloped the quarter in :25l, the half in :51g and the three-quarters in 1:18. Owner Respess, who supervised the work| was well pleased. "It is more than two weeks until he will be called on for that long race, and I intend to have him fit for the occasion," was his comment. Shortly before the Busy American colt worked, Grand Champion, an eligible for the Cincinnati Trophy, was called on for his second work since he has recovered front bucked shins. The son of Royal II. and Bonnie Crest reeled off three-eighths in :39. breezing. 4 Furst and Bauers Castle Cliff, in company; with Mary Gage, traversed five-eighths in 1:05, breezing. The pair began from the five furlongs post after a mile gallop and covj ered the quarter in :25% and the half mile in :51. Abe Furst, a stablemate, and also an eligible for the Cincinnati Trophy, ran the same distance in 1:044,3. Working with, My Prince, he galloped the quarter in :253fc and the half mile in :51. W. D. Covingtons Hasta Luego, an eligible for the Clipsetta Stakes, was timed three-eighths in :38%. Some of the candidates for the leading stakes went through their assignments in the best of fashion. Friday morning five candidates for six of the stakes to be decided during the thirty-one day meeting, turned in works that showed them to be near racing condition. Of the great number on the track, the move of the Southland Stables Play Time, an eligible for the Independence and Enquirer Handicaps, came in for the most attention. The son of My Play, beginning from the five-eighths post, went to the stand in 1:02%, and it was only a good gallop for the New Years Handicap winner. With Carl Shea and about 130 pounds on his bacK, Play Time demonstrated that he was as good, if not better, than at this time last year when he finished second to Gallant Knight in the renewal of the Latonia Derby. Prior to the work of Play Time, Miss Byrd, which Charles Bacharach has named for the Clipsetta Stakes, was sent three-eighths by trainer Daniels in :36 handily. Bachelor Hal, another home-bred, and son of Bachelor Bird, went the same distance in the same time. The horses that the Audley Farm Stable is shipping here from Churchill Downs will come in charge of J. J. "Terry" OMalley. OMalley is now at Louisville arranging the transfer and will be in charge of them until trainer Spence arrives from Chicago. John Daniels motored to Howard Blacks Silver Lake Farm in Franklin County to inspect the Southland Stable yearlings. He also will decide whether to return Real Pardner to training. Although the daughter of Blotter will not be ready for her Latonia Oaks engagement, Daniels has hopes of bringing her up for fall racing.
