CINCINNATI, June 9.-The mighty has
fallen. Plaudt, the greatest 3-year-old
of the year, met his first defeat of the sea-
son today in the Latonia derby, after one
of the grandest contests ever witnessed
on the western turf. Han dor is the colt
that lowered the colors of the Maiden
pride. Ten thousand people cheered Han
dor as he came down the stretch like a
wild horse and looked every inch winner.
Martin was whipping Plaudit and riding
like a demon. A hundred yards from the
wire Plaudit made a gallant effort to come
up, but it was no use his speed and en-
durance were gone and Han dor crossed
the wire winner by three lengths, amid
great excitement in the grand stand and
loud cheers from the hundreds of stable
hands In the field. No race run at Latonia
ever created more enthusiasm. Every
horseman on the track pronounced it the
grandest race since the days of Ten
Brock
The track, contrary to expectations, was
lightning fast and all conditions favored
good time being made. The race from a
time standpoint was a most remarkable
one. There were but two starters and lit
tie time was lost in getting them away
Il
together and Han dor at once set out to
make his own pace. Plaudit could never
overtake him from the start. Han DIR
led by three lengths until the stretch was
reached when Plaudit tried to make his
run, but the killing pace had told on him
and the former won in handy fashion. The
time for the mile and half was 2:321s
but one-quarter second slower than the
ba CT do INV
Buckwa, and the fastest time ever made
by a 3-year-old. Jockey Conley, who rode
the winner, was surrounded by a large
crowd after he dismounted and was car
ried to the scale room on the shoulders Of
several enthusiastic friends.
Plaudit was always l to in the betting,
while as good as to could be had on
Han dor.
The derby is worth $4,000 to the winner
which is the property of George A. Sim
gery. Results:
One mile-KomurasaN won, Harry
Gaines second, Panchita II third; time
1:141a.

The mile and half record is held by
Buckwa, who ran the distance at Oakland
December oath last in 2:32A, but, as a c.
year old, he carried only 1903 pounds, so
that Han doris record is the better. The
best previous performance by 3-year-old
was Lamplighter's mile and half on Au-
gust 8, 1892, at Monmouth Park, in 1928,
with 100 pounds up.
