It is thought, however, that the field will exceed fifteen »tarers in any event. Montgomery has very appropriately been given the top weight of 128 pounds, and experts predict, barring; accidents, a certain victory for the crack four-year-old despite the heavy burden he will have to carry. Montgomerys most formidable opponents should come from the R. F. Carman stable in Rifleman. 125 pounds, and Arimo, 117 pounds.
