Sarazen Is
Winner of
Big Race
Track Record Broken in Tn
ternational Special at La
tonia, Ky.; Epinard
Takes Second.
Zev Proves to Be Fit
ISy Allocated Pret*.
I.atonia, Ky., Oct. 11.—Smashing all
existing Kentucky track records for a
pa milo and a quarter to pieces, Sarazen,
2 year-old chestnut gelding, owned by
Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt II, today van
quished Epinard, pride of the French
turf, in the final race of the inter
national series, before a record-break
ing crowd of 50,000 to 60,000 specta
tors.
Sarazen, ineligible for the previous
two international races because he
was a gelding, flashed across the
wire a length and a half ahead of
tlie gallant French horse in 2:00 4-0.
fJ his was within 4-5 of a second of
the world record established by the
great Whisk Broom 31, 10 years
ago.
Whisk Broom at that time carried
133 pounds, while Sarazen was bur
dened with 120 today. Sarazen step
ped the fastest mile and a mile and
a quarter even run on the Latonia
track. Ho wfas clocked at the mile in
1:35 4-5, clipping a fraction of a sec
ond off the track, record.
Kpinard Given Praise.
Epinard, strangely enough, finished
today as he did in his two previous
American starts, when he finished
second to Wise Counsellor and later
to l.mlkin. While Sarazen's victory
was convincing, Epinard was just as
wonderful in defeat. Working his
way through Interference when Alta
wood and Mad Play bumped In the
final 16th of the race, Epinard came
up from fourth place, shot quickly
to (he outside, flashed ahead of Mad
Play and was gaining rapidly on the
Vanderbilt gelding in the closing
strides.
Mad Play, the entry *of Harry F.
Sinclair, probably ran the greatest
race of his career, finishing on top
B of i Ipiiiard for third place. Altawood,
owned by C. Bruce Head, of Lexing
ton. made a desperate effort, and was
barely beaten for third place. Alta
wood finished fourth, six lengths
ahead of Princess Doreen, the heavily
played filley, which landed fifth place,
while Little Chief finished sixth, My
Play seventh and Chilhowee last.
Victory Worth $55,500.
The victory was worth $55,500 to
Mrs. Vanderbilt in addition to a $5,000
gold cup. Epinard pulled down $6,000
as second prize, while $3,000 went to
Mad Play, and $1,000 to Altawood as
fourth prize money.
Epinard and Sarazen were heavily
played in the parl-muteul wagering,
although the bulk of the western
money was placed on the hopes of
Princess Doreen. A $2 ticket on Sara
zen paid $13.40 to win: $4.20 to place
and $3.00 to show. The place price
on Kpinard was $3.10, while $3 was
his show price. Mad Play paid $6.50
to show.
The race, except for the unavoid
able bumping of Altawood and Mad
Play in the exciting finish, was one
of the most cleanly contested in the
history of Kentucky racing. Epinard
at no time during the gruelling mile
and a quarter run was farther than
three feet from the rail expept when
he was taken to the outslio in his
dash for second place as the flying
field straightened out for the wire.
Everett Haynes, the Jockey astride
Kpinard In nil his American starts,
gave the French horse a perfect ride
in the Judgment of experienced ob
servers.

The Stresemann ultimatum follow

As a result of Stresemann's artlon

Both Marx himself and left par
