In the Classic
Latoniia Derby

LATONIA, KY, June 22.-Johren, the
crack Eastern three-year-old, by Spear
mint, out Of Mineola, carrying the light
blue colors of Harry Payne Whitney,
annexed the Latonia Derby to his al
ready long list Of winnings, when he
travelled mile and half to-day in
2 minutes 33 seconds, finishing three
year-olds, hailing from Kentucky and
Canada.
Exterminator, Willis Sharpe Kilmer's
Kentucky Derby winner, made bold
try in the stretch run. but could never
reach the fast flying Johren, and the
Whitney colt, simply breezing tho last
sixteenth of mile, flashed under the
wire with Jockey frankie Robinson
having his mount under wraps. Ex-
terminator, who was three lengths
back, was a length in front of Free
the Canadian colt Hollinger, from the
stable of D. Raymond, obtained fourth
money.
There was really never time in the
long journey that Robinson on Johren
found his mount in trouble. Off to a
perfect start, American Eagle shot into
the lead, closely followed by Free Cut
ter. At the quarter pole Robinson had
worked Johren into third ,placee and
had the Spearmint colt under restraint
Johren Takes Lead
The field stayed punched until the
mile was reached, when Robinson let
out wrap on Johren. and in the next
the lead and was never headed there
after. An eighth of mile from home
he was four lengths ahead of his field.
Exterminator had been lying in
fifth place during the first mile, and
when Johren moved up Knapp likewise
made his move with the Kilmer geld
ing. Turning into the stretch, Exter-
minator hooked up with Free Cutter
and American Eagle dropped back, COM
struggle for the place, but Extermi-
nator had more in reserve and was q
length to the good at the finish.
