FAIRENOS latest score Belmont Stakes Winner Captures Shevlin, Thursdays Feature. Easily Beats Brandon Mint and Pompeius Double Victory for Trainer George Odom. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 23. William Woodwards Faireno, winner of the Belmont Stakes added the Shevlin to his score at Aqueduct today and his next important engagement will be in the Latonia Derby at one mile and a half in which he will be a starter, which is to be run July 2 at Latonia. This score added another ,350 to the earnings of the son of Chatterton. It was the Brandon Stables Brandon Mint that raced to second place and W. R. Coes Pompeius just saved third from Portden, which raced for the Linton Farms Stable. The other starters were Semaphore and War Hero and they cut scant figure in the running. It was the first appearance of Brandon Mint since his race in the Kentucky Derby in which he was fourth after having been rather seriously injured in the running. The Shevlin made the day of racing an important one though the setting, was not an altogether attractive one, when three of the races were for juveniles and two of those were given over to maiden fillies of the cheap plater variety. In the Shevlin little time was lost at the barrier and Mills at once sent Faireno out to force the pace. Pompeius raced along with him and after racing a first quarter in :23, the half was reached in :46. This took something out of Pompeius and when the six furlong mark was reached in 1:11 he was showing signs of. tiring. But Faireno went right along after that fast pace and at the end he still had a length and a half to spare. Workman had rated Brandon Mint along in third place, well back of the sprinting pair that showed the way through the stretch when he called on the son of Stimulus, he closed in resolute fashion. But Faireno was not to be caught and it seemed that Brandon Mint was just a trifle short after his long lay-off. He had beaten Pompeius three lengths for second place and the Coe colt was stopping in a fashion that he woul have been caught by Portden in a few more strides. Semaphore and War Hero were always outrun. This race should be of great value in fitting Brandon Mint for his engagement in the Dwyer.
