KING SAXON STARTS TODAY Goes in Dunboyne Handicap, a Test for Excelsior Handicap, to Be Run Saturday. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 6.— King Saxon, although trounced in his last two appearances, will have a public test for Saturdays Excelsior Handicap, the event he won last year, when he goes postward in the Dunboyne Handicap, a six furlongs affair at Jamaica Thursday. The Knebelkamp racer, one of the highweights in John B. Camp-bells ratings for the Saturday feature at the Metropolitan Jockey Club course, will attempt to make amends for his poor effort in the Jamaica Handicap last week-end and on his showing will depend whether he will accept his impost of 121 pounds in the ,000 #- gallop of a mile and a sixteenth, which is one of the features on the closing days dual stake program at the Baisley Boulevard grounds. Opposing King Saxon tomorrow will be Bright Haven, Black Buddy and Exhibit, all three of them seasoned by local competition and at the weights, certain to make an interesting test of the Dunboyne. While the Excelsior is the principal monetary offering on the getaway bill with its ,000 endowment, considerable interest attaches to the running of the Rosedale Stakes, a dash of five furlongs for two-year-old fillies, the race which will mark the debut in the Metropolitan area of the current juvenile sensation, Goldey F., daughter of Tall Timber and recent victress in the famed Aberdeen Stakes, at Havre de Grace, her most notable achievement in seven straight conquests. -
