away and beat the great Norwich, came
pack to-day and won the Latonia Derby
from Yoshifni and Olympus In tho
easiest kind of fashion. Withdrawals
OF brogster and Margaret Vinsor had
reduced the field to three starters
The race was run over q distance AZ
a mile and one-half for a purst Of
$4,000 added, $4,000 OF which went TO
third '"'
Olympus WAS first to show in front
when the barrier went up, Th;bodaux
following and Yoshimi, q slow be eginner,
trailing. Al the half mile Olympus had
increased his lead to three lengths and
appeared to be running easily. This
posl'ion ne maintained until the horses
turned into the back stretch. Here
Jockey Earl Pool, on Thibodaux. shook
up his mount and passed the Whitney
morse. Which seemed then to be tirin,.
Entering the stretch. Thibodaux was
ten lengths in the lead. This he main
tanned until the end, passing the finish
hne IN common canter. ten lengths
before Yoshimi. The latter moved up,
coming up into the stretch, and at the
S'5 ~ VII Poic passed the 1aSOrIre ana
took the place money by a margin Of
five lengths
81 nutuel ticket on the winner
netted $3.50 to win and s2.4O to place.
Yoshini paid $3.50 to place.
There was considerable delay at the
post, due to the bad acting of Olympus,
but the field was sent away to per
feet start. The crowd was breathless
when the light blue and white of the
Whitney Stable appeared in the lead,
but when Thibodaux moved to the
front the stands broke into an uproar
that was not stilled until long after
the horses had returned to the iudees'
stand
The time was 4 1-5 seconds slower
than the track record Of 2:2a 3-5 for
the distance, held by Mimic II. There
we're many horsemen who believed
that had the Cincinnati owned colt
been ridden out these figures might
have been equaled if not lowered.
The heat was intense, but an inn
mense crowd took advantage of the
halfholiday and turned out to witness
the battle Of the East against the
West.
