Claiming races made up the largest part of this afternoons program at the Latonia Jockey Clubs course, with the mile and one-sixteenth event, sixth on the program, shaping up as the chief attraction. George V. Barnes Sis Alice, well ridden by the veteran Earl Pool, obtained the verdict in this contest, defeating First Entry by the comfortable margin of two lengths. Buddie Treacy accounted for the show portion of the purse. Iceberg was hustled into the lead soon after the field was sent on its way by starter William Hamilton and continued to show the way for a half mile of the journey. Sis Alice moved past Iceberg before reaching the far turn and took command. Once in front, the four-year-old brown filly swiftly drew away, but it was necessary for Pool to shake up his mount during the stretch racing as First Entry, which had trailed for the greater portion of the contest, made his move. However, Sis Alice was not in danger of being overhauled, though it was apparent that the filly was shortening her strides The winner drew a good portion of the support from the fair-sized week-day attendance, rewarding .20 for straight. f Continued on thirtv-eighth voge.J PLATERS PREDOMINATE Continued from first page. It was a clear, warm day and the track was in excellent condition for the presentation of the eight-race program, comprising mostly sprint events, five of them being over the dash distances. C. R. Jordans Down in Front captured major honors in the six furlongs dash that started off the days program. Our Willie was second a length in the wake of the winner, while Novette collected third money. Rated close to the pace, the first half mile Down in Front took command with a rush approaching the final quarter and continuing in courageous fashion managed to hold off the challenge of Our Willie, which was gaining steadily on the winner in the closing stages. Down in Front was overlooked in the betting, returning 8.40 for each .00 investment. Frank P. Letellier, New Orleans turfman, saddled the winner of the second event, a five furlongs spin for maiden two-year-olds, in Southland Beau, which proved an easy winner over the eleven other juveniles that competed. Recussion finished second and Overtrick third. Displaying a good brand of speed from the break, Southland Beau moved into the lead after the first quarter was traversed and steadily added to his advantage, which was three lengths at the finish. The Rosedale Stables Hat Check was returned an easy winner in the third, another sprint affair which brought together r field of eight starters. Morts Pal, the well-backed choice, was second, two and a half , lengths behind the winner, while Hide Out , collected the short end of the purse. Hat Check jumped into the lead after the first i quarter mile and the brown son of Twink i was never in danger thereafter. F. P. Letellier saddled his second winner , of the day when he sent J. W. Bells Little Drift postward in the fourth, a five furlongs affair, in which ten juveniles met. Queen Irene finished second and Incognito took third. The brown daughter of Ariel and Lucky Drift was hustled into the lead soon after the field was dispatched and showed the way for the entire distance, despite the ; fact the filly bore out badly entering the stretch. However, Little Drift held a mar- gin of one length over the fast-finishing cjucen Irene, at the end of the dash.
