Vi the year, met mis- nrst defeat of the season |
today at the Latonia derby after one of the
g~randest contests ever Witnessed on the
western turf. Han dor is the colt that
lowered the colors of the Madden pride and
In doing 1t he also lowered the worlds rec
ord for a mile and a half. Ten thousand
people cheered Han 40 as he came down
the stretch like a wild horse and looking
every inch a 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 1t was of no use. His speed and en-
durance were gone and Han dor crossed
the wire a winner by three lengths amid
great excitement in the grandstand and
loud cheers from the hundreds Of stable
hands in the field.
No race run at Latonia ever created more
enthusiasm and every horseman on tho
track pronounced It the grandest race since
the days of Tenbroeck.
The track, contrary to expectations, was
lightning fast and all conditions favored
good time being made. However, few peo-
pie thought the worlds record would be
beaten. The race from a time standpoint
was a most remarkable one.
There were but two starters and little time
was lost in getting them away from the
post. The pair went away heads together
and Han do at once set out to make his
, own pace. The first half mile was covered
in fifty seconds, the six furlongs In ia Ii,
seven furlongs in 1877 1-2; mile in lao Ia,
mile and an eighth in 1854. the mile and a
quarter in 2:07 Ia; the final time being
2:32 1-2, which was a quarter second better
than any previous record.
&Plaudit could not overtake Han dor from
the start. The latter led by three lengths
,,ptl tho ctrotcb raachod wbon plaudit
tried to make his run, but the killing pace
had told on him and Han dor won in handy
fashion.
Enthusiasm Over the jockey.
Jockey Conley, who rode the winner, was
surrounded by a large crowd after he had
dismounted and carried to the scales room
on the shoulders of several, enthusiastic
friends.
Plaudit was always / to Z in the betting
