i LATONIA TRACK MUDDY Showers Change Footing and Program at Latonia. Scheduled Feature Declared Off and Split of Third Race Run in Its Place. LATONIA, Ky., July 28. A heavy shower that fell shortly before regular time for withdrawals this morning riddled todays Latonia Jockey Club program and caused the cancellation of the Verona Purse, or sixth race, which was the scheduled feature. In arranging a substitute for that three-quarters race the original third race, for two-year-olds, was split, and it occupied the third and sixth positions on the card. Despite the overcast skies and sultry weather, a large crowd was present for the sport, which comes to a close at this track with tomorrows racing. With the exception of the opening event, for maiden two-year-old fillies, the revamped program was monopolized by performers from the claiming ranks. The best band from those ranks raced in the fourth race, and it enabled little Jack Mayer to score his second straight victory when Agincourt carried the colors of Baylor Hickman to an easy victory. Second went to Dusky Dame, with Nell Kuhlman beating Shaker Lady for the minor award. A small field of six started and, while Dusky Dame was the first under way, Mayer soon had Agincourt in the van. Increasing her advantage steadily after reaching the stretch, the Hickman racer came to the finish with a five-length lead. Although Dusky Dame experienced little trouble in holding the others safe, Nell Kuhlman, making her second start in as many days, wa: slow in finding her stride and, after heading Shaker Lady midway in the stretch, she was hard ridden to outfinish the latter The public could not decide between Nell Kuhlman and Shaker Lady and they were held at odds slightly better than 9 to 5, with the winner a 3 to 1 choice. C. V. Whitneys Smear scored his second success of the meeting when he was an easy and popular winner of the fifth race, which attracted a small field of seven oyer six furlongs. Pat C. was second, a nose before the fast finishing Judge Direnzo, Continued on twenty-second vaaeJ LATONIA TRACK MUDDY Continued from first page. which beat Proud Princess by a half length for third. Ridden by G. South, the five-year-old son of Mad Hatter was cleverly rated back of the pace of Proud Princess and Pat C. until reaching the final furlong, where, taking command under mild pressure, he drew away to a good advantage and was well in hand with a length and a half margin at the finish. While Pat C. was used up in racing Proud Princess into submission, Judge Direnzo came from far back to earn his award. Guidess and Loud Speaker, which completed the field, were always outrun. Agin-court ran the distance over the adverse track in the good time of 1:14. Howard Wells saddled another winner, this time for Howard Oots, when Marcella H. beat Informal, Enigmatic and nine other maiden two-year-old fillies in the introductory race. While Marcella H., the choice, saved ground throughout and took command after Wahmi quit in the final furlong, Informal raced wide throughout and was gaining fast on the winner at the finish. The colors of Laffoon and Yeiser were seen in a popular victory when Border Patrol lasted to beat Hickory Lad in the third race. Third went to Hoosiers Pride. Eight two-year-olds started in the race that was a split of the original third and after Yankee Waters, the second choice, had shown the way to the stretch, the winner raced into a good lead, only to be under hard urging to withstand the belated rush of Hickory Lad. The mud running Jack Murphy scored one of the most decisive victories of the meeting when he accounted for the second race. Iredell was second and Young Bill third. Ridden by Glen Fowler, the five-year-old un-sexed son of Dunboyne sprinted into the lead before reaching the first turn, and increasing his advantage, came to the finish with an eight-length advantage over Iredell, which got up to beat the tiring Young Bill. While Betty Farrell and Dorita tired in the final quarter, Last Attempt, the choice, showed little to merit his backing.
