Here and There on the Turf Latonia Derby Suits Champion Bidding Brisk for Match Race Arcaro Going to Big Time Detroit Gets Too Much Racing Cincinnati racing fans or those of them that didnt get over to Louisville for the Ken ¬ tucky Derby even though means of trans portation were offered by railroad motor airplane and steamboat may have the oppor ¬ tunity of seeing Cavalcade in action after all Robert A Smith the impression that the Latonia Derby was to be run this coming Saturday having been corrected may decide to send the brilliant son of Lancegaye to the Milldale course upon his imminent arrival in Chicago where the tripleDerby winner has been transported from Detroit DetroitAlthough Although Cavalcade had three tough races in the space of a week and a half early in the season and his only losing venture the Preakness seven days later he is taking his races farther apart although fortunately for the welfare of racing he is unlike the heavyweight boxing champion who spaces his efforts by his birthdays Cavalcade has taken quarters along with his mates in Mrs Isabel Dodge Sloanes Brookmeade Stable at Arlington Park where the 45000 Classic interests him but Latonia is just a seven hour overnight train ride and its Derby over the long mile and a half distance ap ¬ pears nothing more than a gallop for the Englishbred colt so no surprise will be cre ¬ ated if Colonels Smith and Mack Garner go after the 10009 prize with its 5000 bonus if the Kentucky Derby winner is successful successfulOpposition Opposition to Cavalcade in the Latonia Derby doesnt appear so tough especially as the Sloane colt appears the most natural distance runner of class to be developed in America in years and as he has to be kept tuned up for his engagement in the Classic he might just as well give the customers of the Cincinnati area an opportunity of seeing him step Being a good commuter Caval ¬ cade can hustle right back to Arlington Park where he will have two weeks in vhich to rest before settling the championship issue with Peace Chance Some persons may say that Cavalcade is not a good shipper because he was very fretful for a day after his arrival at Louisville for the Kentucky Derby but the train ride from Maryland had nothing to do With the colts indisposition He hadnt over ¬ come his stage fright then and when greeted by a young army of photographers in charge of the blatant Screw Sanders he was shocked into a case of nervousness nervousnessMeanwhile Meanwhile the talk about Cavalcade and Equipoise getting together in a match race gains momentum There is plenty of founda ¬ tion for the conservation because Smith says he has been approached by Arlington Park officials regarding the match and that being the case Cornelius Whitney owner of the older champion has heard something about it also Col Matt Winn who perhaps has staged more match races than any other promoter in the country also says he would like to put on the affair so it looks like a case for the highest bidder As Colonel Winn would not be able to stage the race until the September meeting at Lincoln Fields he may be at a disadvantage in the quest Just how much the match is worth to an association is difficult to compute in these times but with ideal conditions any meeting between Cavalcade and Equipoise should bring out the patrons in quantity Eddie Arcaro proclaimed the leading west ¬ ern jockey worked himself into a first class job at Washington Park where his efforts caught the attention of Warren Wright leading Chicago sportsman Arcaro goes to work for the Calumet Farm owner at Ar ¬ lington and if the Wright horses are as good as the young Italian has shown himself to be the connection should be a happy one for all concerned If the Calumet Stable follows its usual procedure Arcaro will be introduced to the metropolitan circuit at Saratoga and eastern experts will have the opportunity of seeing a boy who is more popular in Chicago now than Wayne Wright was a year ago The latter has gone over in New York in a big way wayDetroit Detroit is going on an eightrace schedule and this is to be regretted because it is not good for the sport Clarence Lehrand his associates can hardly be blamed for it how ever as it is their task to make racing pa for itself in spite of tremendous taxatipi demands This is but another case when unwise legislators have turned to racing foi more revenue than the sport can pay De troit is paying too heavy an operating fei to begin with and in addition a 120day ses sion was forced on the association Thi game will not survive in the Motor City mon than a few years if these conditions remaii unchanged
