FAST GALLOPS FOR Bk j LATONIA FEATURES j LATONIA, Ky., Oct. 25. Three of the principal western candidates for the 0,000 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes, to be renewed at the mile distance here Saturday, were put through rather exacting preparations on a fast track this morning. Charley O., the R. M. Eastman hope, breezed a mile in 1:40, while A. B. Gallahers Glynson went a like route in 1:42, driving, and Thistle Play covered the same course in 1:45, breezing. Charley O.s trial was the standout gallop of the morning and J. T. Taylor, trainer of the full brother to Mike Hall, is confident that he will make a great bid for the Kentucky Jockey Club prize. Mrs. Payne Whitneys Dynastic and possibly other of the probable starters which have been racing in the East are due in tomorrow. Cee Tee, three-year-old son of Polymelian, which will carry Charles T. Fishers Dixiana colors in the 0,000 Latonia Championship Stakes here a week from Saturday, was worked one mile and one-half over the fast Latonia track this morning. He covered the long route in 2:36, handily, and galloped out an additional eighth in 2:49. Trainer Clyde Van Dusen is well pleased with the manner in which his charge is taking the severe preparation. For the quarter, Cee Tee was timed m :26, and, after going the half in :51, he went on to the close of three-quarters in 1:17. The mile was negotiated in. 1:43 and another quarter in 2:09.
