PAWTUCKET, R. I., June 28— Identify, a i four-time stake winner during 1935, faces his s ol of toughest task of the season when he goes s — — forth in the mile and a furlong Governors s F Handicap at Narragansett Park tomorrow, . o of The son of Man o War, which triumphantly f tl swept through the Toboggan, Granite State a Handicap, White Mountain Handicap and I n Rockingham Park Handicap, is being asked I V pack 125 pounds in the ,000 added week- .- tl end feature at the Rhode Island course of f at a Walter E. OHara. That is the severest bur- den he has been assigned all season. How- - p ever, despite the stiff impost, it appears that t be b is able to handle the thirteen which have e h been named overnight to oppose him. t, The Vanderbilt colt will find two new- - n comers to the New England racing field d ti tough and hard to beat. These are Agrarian i h and Time Supply. The first of this pair r p worked a sensational mile and a furlong in a 1:50, the first mile in 1:37%. The other, a a t first class stake winner last season, ever • has had an abundance of early speed and J c hes at his best hell be fighting it out hard j t for the full distance. a Last season the Governors Handicap was 5 v designated as the Governor Green Handi- l" cap and saw Hadagal, also winner of the e c King Phillip Handicap at this point, packing J i j 120 pounds to victory. The Warren Wright ■ 0 of horse looked extremely good at that time, but a bit later he went amiss and now is ■* 0 stud service of the master of Calumet my Farm. George Strate, an elderly trainer, who has s c raced in many parts of the land, has been n a prepping Agrarian most carefully for his ■IS r New England stake engagements, particu- l_ j i * larly those at Narragansett Park. The son n * Sickle and Mary Jane showed consider- " J able quality in 1934 competition. He was ■ spry enough to finish second to Time Clock k the Florida Derby, and the Brookmeade ie J Stables Cavalcade was the only one to lead d him past the judges in the Chesapeake, e. j I Then he traveled to Louisville to be third in n 1 the Kentucky Derby, where Cavalcade was IS j | I first home, with Discovery second. These ■. races demonstrated he is an able fellow and d j * recent gallops say he is dead fit. All of jf 1 which says the Governors Handicap will be a horse race from start to finish. i Time Supply, a Virginia-bred son of Time » J Maker and Surplice, that Willis Sharpe e Kilmer and Dr. Jacks sold to Frank Car- r. reaud as a juvenile, is best known to folks cs this sector as the winner of the Narra-r gansett Special last autumn, where he ie gleaned 8,000. From this point he traveled ;d to California to take the Bay Meadows vs Handicap, worth 1,100 to the winner. It was only today that the New York ■k racing officials lifted the ban against the ie Carreaud horses and this enabled Time Sup- P" . ply and others in the band to get into *• | action. They are now under the care of 01 , Joe Notter, a fine little horseman and a a , top rider during his active saddle days. Another widely famed horseman will be saddling a candidate for the Governors. This js is Louis Feustel, the man who developed i| Man o War for his many turf conquests. Now this capable trainer is affiliated with n" J. W. Y. Martin and the best member of 0f his stable is Dark Hope. That veteran is being asked to carry 122 pounds but he is js such a robust sort that the package should Id hot cause him to lag in the mile and a a furlong journey. Good Goods, just arrived from Long ig Island, promises to be one of the main con-y n- tenders in the event. The Brookmeade horse se did not do at all badly in his last out ut I I down the line. He appears in the race ce I I rather well with 112 pounds as his portion. in- I So rigged, he should be with the leaders rs at the end. Gilbert, one of the countrys f* top riders will be up. Walter OHara will be running a fit horse se | I in Howard, a fellow which sharpened for the he , I race with a half in :47, and, prior to that, at, turned a mile in 1:41. Hes fit and hes good °d and promises to be right there at the fin- I ish. The mile and a furlc«g route, coupled ■ ! ! with a fast track, should be to his liking. 1S- From the fashion in which the meeting is is picking up, there should be a crowd of H 35,000 or thereabouts on hand. This would mark the meetings peak, „ .
