Kentuckians Steal Show On Indiana Day Program Lieut.-Governor Handley Among , 4,546 Patrons at River Downs RIVER DOWNS, California, Ohio, June »25. — A couple of Kentuckians from Chittlin City disrupted the Indiana Day schedule fhere during the early races as Dan and Claude Terrel had their colors borne to success in the first two races of the after-moon by Ho Eight and Chief Genoa. Lieut. Governor Harold Handley and a * thost of Hoosier racing fans were among the crowd of 4,546 which was entertained by the equestrian drills of the Indiana Qolor ♦ Guard between races and the popularity of the day insured its further continuance by the management of River Downs. t The Terrell Brothers had their days mixed up by a week for last Thursday was Kentucky Day here, but Ho Eight and Chief Genoa failed to show the amenities to * Indiana owners. Both horses had been shipped in from Detroit a short time ago ,and apparently found the River Downs strip to their Jiking. - Ho Eight was the first home under jockey »W. D. Lucas, holding a length margin at the close of the six-furlong sprint. Ho Eight was favored and paid .60. Chief eGnoa, a grand looking two-year-old, made it a" consecutive double for • trainer Dan Terrell, Jr., who switched to Chilean Jean Sanchez for the two-year-old 4 race. Chief Genoa came off the early pace to be a handy three-length winner while running the five furlongs in 1:00, which equals the fastest time of the meeting for that distance. » The gelded son of The Doge — Anita Gen paid .40 and combined with his stable- mate in a 9.80 Daily Double pay-off, which must have delighted the residents of x Chittlin City and surrounding areas.
