Chance Shot, Toro and Other Stars in Suburban Field $ $ NEW YORK, May 31. — Fourteen have been named for the renewal of the Suburban Handicap Saturday afternoon at Belmont Tark. This old mile and a quarter stake, which had its first running away back in 1SS4, has always been one of the greatest of American handicaps and the prospects for a notable renewal are bright indeed. Joseph E. Wideners Chance Shot, top weight under 126 pounds, is to have another try, while Dolan, which led him some last year, is also of the eligibles. It is doubtful if Doland is the horse he was for the 1928 running, but his presence is interesting from the fact of his having been the winner last year. Edward B. McLeans Toro, the sturdy son of The Porter, and recent winner of the Grainger Memorial at Churchill Downs, is second in the handicap with 125 pounds as his burden, and then comes J. R. Macombers Petee-Wrack, which proved his quality by his score in the Metropolitan Handicap re-" cently. These three compose the high weights in the handicap, and the fact that each has accepted the weights assures a great contest, though there are those under a* lighter impost that will attract much attention.
