SEABISCUIT TOP WEIGHT IN EXPOSITION HANDICAP SAN BRUNO, Calif., April 8 Seabiscuit drew 121 pounds in the Exposition Handicap weights, made public following the last race Wednesday. The C. S. Howard crack is asked to carry eight pounds more than the Austin Taylor pair, Indian Broom and Special Agent, both of which are weighted with 116 pounds. Moon Side has 115 pounds and seems overmatched at the weights. Before the weights were released by racing secretary Reeder it was generally understood that Seabiscuit would be top weight and his package was not surprising. Aside from the poundage of Moon Side the majority of horsemen agreed that the weights were about right. A field of seventeen has been nominated for the Exposition Handicap, which will be Saturdays feature. The race is at one and one-sixteenth miles and will carry a value of ,000 added.
