i j | LATONIA TRAINING GALLOPS » Quite a Large Number of Horses Work at Covington Course. $ Renovating of Club House Nearly Completed — Many Requests for Stable Accommodations. » LATONIA, Ky., June 6.— With the Latonia track in first class condition and slightly less than three weeks remaining before the opening of the thirty-one day spring meeting June 25, horsemen were busy with their charges at the Milldale course Sunday and this morning. The recent heavy rains were all that was needed to give the racing strip a firm and fast bottom and trainers took advantage of it to tighten up their charges. John Daniels, trainer of the Southland Stable of Charles Bacharach, called on the majority of his string for good tests and the veteran Playtime reeled off three-quarters in 1:16%. My Hobby, another consistent winner for the establishment, turned three-quarters in 1:15%.

The nominations for the seven stakes to be decided during the long meeting were officially closed this morning and sent to the printer. There were no additions to the thirty-nine named for the Derby, and resident manager Russell Sweeney hopes to have the condition book of the first seven days of the meeting ready for distribution to the horsemen in the next few days.

Charles F. Price, presiding steward in charge of racing, is expected to set the dates for the Cincinnati Trophy, Enquirer and Quick Step Handicap and the Latonia Oaks this week. He was awaiting the announcement of the Arlington dates so as to avoid any conflict. During the coming week, several stables that are resting at Churchill Downs and Lexington are due to arrive at Latonia from those points, while early arrivals from Chicago and Bainbridge are expected in the next two weeks.
