310,000 CLARK ON SATURDAY Old Churchill Downs Fixture Should Have One of Best Renewals in Its History. LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 27. Regardless of whether any of the several Kentucky Derby candidates eligible to start accept the issue in Saturdays renewal of the sixty-three-year-old Clark Handicap, the 0,000 distance fixture seems assured one of its finest runnings. With such stars of the handicap division as Count Morse, Roustabout, Tatterdemalion, Memory Book, Brush Hook, Giant Killer, Grand Manitou, Professor Paul and others likely to be included in the field, the race may rival others of its type to be run during the season. It will be contested over a mile and a sixteenth, and Mrs. Payne Whitneys Memory Book will carry top weight of .121 pounds while making concessions of two or more pounds to his rivals, next of which in the weights is Count Morse. The Clark, which last year was won by Corinto, will take on added importance should one or more of the Derby eligibles also named for it dare to tackle the older giants it will bring into action. It has been won by three-year-olds, the last being Beaver Dam which got home in front in 1935. Military, probably is the highest ranking three-year-old qualified to start in Saturdays renewal.
