TWENTY GRAND TO CHICAGO Coming to Arlington Park July 6 1 With Main Division of the Greentree Stable. Twenty Grand, winner of the Wood Memorial, Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes, will be at Arlington Park July 6, according to the present plans of James Rowe, who is training the brilliant son of St. Germans and Bonus for the Greentree Stable. Word came to Otto W. Lehmann, president of the Arlington Park Jockey Club, ir©m Rowe yesterday that he would leave Belmont Park July 5 on a special train that should reach Arlington Park easily in twenty-three to twenty-four hours, making liberal allowances for unavoidable delays. Rowe will bring the pick of the main division of the Greentree Stable, with Twenty Grand, whose big Arlington objective will be the Classic. This division will include St. Brideaux, which has won the Broadway Handicap, at Aqueduct, and finished second in a Brooklyn to Questionnaire since Mrs. Whitney paid 00 to get him in the Classic as a "supplementary" nomination for the worlds richest three-year-olds special of 1931, also, the other Classic eligibles, Anchors Aweigh, Comic, Checkerberry and Surf Board and all but one or two of the two-year-olds, Curacao, Depart, Espinaca, Pro Bono, Hunters Moon, Red Coat, Jib Boom, Semaphore, Chinaberry, Love Offering, Delicacy, Parry and Rose Diamond. There will be one exception at least among the two-year-olds, because Rowe will be starting at least one two-year-old from Belmont Park next Sunday to start in the Hyde Park Stakes, which will be revived at Arlington, Wednesday, at five furlongs and a half. Rowe did not name his Hyde Park preference, but, presumably, it is the colt Espinaca Spanish for Spinach, as Epinard is what the French call that popular succulent, son of Epinard and Prudish and half-brother of Comstockery and Blue Law. Espinaca, which acquitted himself with high credit on more than one occasion in the course of the racing at Belmont Park, winning three out of five starts, has other connections that commend him to the consideration of the racing public. Prudish, his dam, is a sister of Prudery, the dam of Victorian, Halcyon and Whiskery, and Prudery and Prudish are sisters of Macaw and Chimney Sweep. Rowe will bring jockey Charlie Kurt-singer, one of the crack riders of the East, to Arlington.
