This is the best of the prizes for three-year-olds and upward and the overnight acceptances promise a field of seven. Herbert M. Woolfs Lady Broadcast, top weight under a burden of 126 pounds is not one named and it leaves Mrs. John Hay Whitneys Lightning Bolt at the top with 117 as his burden. This good son of Wrack has been brought back to his best form, as was evidenced by his recent victory in the Hialeah Park Handicap and he seems to have earned his impost. From 11T pounds the weights drop down to 112 that F. A. Carreauds good mare Kincsen will have to carry. Her race behind Lightning Bolt, in the Hialeah Park Handicap would seem to make, her the natural contender. Desha Breckenridges Royal Ruffin, under 104 pounds, is sure to have a following and it is confidently expected Frank Grossmans Waterway will improve. Others in the field have all shown winning form and the mile and a quarter is a distance calculated to bring out what is best in any thoroughbred. The following are the scheduled starters in the Jockey Club Handicap: Horse. Wt. Rider. Sunfire 105 J. Renick Kincsen 112... C. Corbett Royal Ruffin J.04 H. Callahan Impish 103 H.
