NOMINATIONS FOR QUEEN CITY Much Interest Invested in Prospective Performance of Main Man Twenty-Seven Are Named. CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 7. The Queen City Handicap, ,500 added, for two-year-olds, to be run Saturday at River Downs, promises to be one of the really great events for youngsters for the fall racing season in the Middle West. Twenty-six two-year-olds have been named for the event, the weights for which will be released Thursday. Inasmuch as several of the potential candidates are late developments, the task of assigning the weights will be a difficult one for .racing secretary Charles F. Henry. This is especially true of J. B. Respess Main Man, which has come to the front sp rapidly in his last two races that he may be one of the real developments of the western season. Off in a tangle in his last race he threaded his way through the field to finally win off by himself. He has not been asked to meet the class of competition that he will be up against Saturday, and the keenest interest will be taken in what he does against really high-class colts and fillies. J. W. Parrish holds a strong hand with Proph, Dellor and Perlette, the latter having ! shown he is a superior mudder. The Oddesa Farm Stable has its high-class filly Oddesa Girl named, while I. J. Collins will start his giant colt, Bernard F.. one of the biggest horses of its age in training.
