CouBin Puss is another pcrformor Jjs I that is oxpocted to run a good race in S the Latonia cup, she having hnd a lot ft of bad racing luck in the Louisville ; S j cup, and is capablo of a much better M '111 performance over a long distance thau is tffllt 9nc up m ner recent ruco ut 0,,B ;t las park. 11 fll !

As uBual this season, the winner nW of this event will rcceivo a beautiful hM; solid-silver loving cup, which is just lijf' now being finished up bv the mann- W facturer. and costs the Latonia I?ac- jjtf iug association more than $500. ffi Two Miles and Quarter, jtfj Two miles and a quarter, tho distanco jftjj of the Latonia cup, is and always has lip, been the popular distance in this coun- ttlDlb r-'' as 1VC' aa 13nRlIl,I(l or a CUP HI jfr; race. Many great contests havo beon "IS?J run ln this 'country, as well as in Eng- 'M land, over this route of ground, and in tiflU P'n'on trainers, it is tho ideal illiRa distanco really to test the mcrit3 and 'iSyln' Ftaniinn of the thoroughbred race 'ItrJlil horse. One remarkable raco at this 'liwifj distanco whs run j'n the Snrafogu cup tMefiu' iS75, when Springbok, thou a 5-year- illto1 an1 Tiddon by W. Clark, and Prcak- fli$w' nos3, then a fi-year-old. ridden by Wil- fUll'H "am 3 raj-vartl, ran. a dead heal, "in the 1 1 5 Iff t 1 fastest time ruu at this distance up to SgfJ: rbnt date, ":."G1. Tho record these two Hflnlli great dead-heaters established that jlfhjtj i dav, now nearly forty years ngo, is jj jllJIJ 1 ti)l the track record at two miles and 'nlih' ' a fumrcr ovor 'no Saratoga course. IIP Were Great Horses. 1. Springbok, one of the heroc3 of the EV famorts r,ice, passed his stud days in ' Kentucky, and amnug the brilliant win- uers ho sired was Audrain, the Hindoo take winner at Latonia in ISS-i. the :. race which afterward developed into I tho present Latonia Derby event. ' Preakness, the other dead-heater, went io England, and among the good horses (' he sired there was Fiddlor, which also l proved a cup race performer. Of Grin- j stcd. which ran third in that great J( tnkc. it is sufficient to say that ho did more than aiiv horse .to make the j fame of E. J. Baldwin as a turfman by J sending to tho races tho ninny stars l that in "Baldwin 's early career made his j black jacket nnd crimson sash so noted Ij on all the American tracks, and he still ii rank's as one of tho most successful iU sires of great horses in tho annals of jji merican thoroughbred breeding. j Desperate Finish. To ruu a dead heal as snch a di?-' 'r tance is surely a trying feat on any two nerformers. and odd to note, the . descriptions of that raco at that time ',' toll how-gnmelv the two dead-heaters, closely pushed bv Grinstod. stood a des- 3j' porale drive all througli the stretch, injl ! and for tho' last 100 yards it was iin prs-jiblc to soparato them. y. i The time they recorded was rcmark- L able for those days, and stood as the XL host for the distanco for a number of years, and it is gf.ill even fnslnr thau the present Latonia track reeord at this mute of erround. but it is very 9 1 f likely this will be beaten this fall in the J'; ratoniu cud, especially if Pandorina R- arM Clubs hook up together in the big 9 i ' event, t; The racing public are surelv fond of of', long-distance races, nnd for this season Wt tho Latonia cup is an event of interest ff .- second to no feature race run during ! ; tho4 entire fall senson of racing at La- 2 t. tonia, no matter what class of horses may go to the post in a shorler dis- PQi f' tance race. |
