BROOKLYN HANDICAP fIIlI Rosemont Works Mile in 1:42 in Preparation for Race Saturday. Top Bow Also Expected to Make His 1937 Debut Aneroid, Carter and Suburban Winner, Among Contestants. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 24. The old Brooklyn Handicap will return William Duponts Rosemont to competition and he will have his opportunity to wipe out his Suburban Handicap defeat when -John A. Manf usos Aneroid was winner. Aneroid will be in the Saturday field, but under a different weight arrangement, for while he carried only 110 pounds he was such a sensational winner at Belmont Park he will take up 122 pounds. That weight includes a penalty of three pounds incurred by his victory in the Carter, but the son of The Porter carried 123 pounds when he won the Carter and he should handle a pound less successfully. Rosemont has not been to the races since his defeat in the Suburban Handicap and, owing to a weak foot, great care has to be exercised in his training. He has, however, been brought up to the Brooklyn cleverly and an easy mile in 1:42 at Belmont Park this morning indicated a readiness for silks. Don Kerr sent Aneroid over the full Brooklyn distance of a mile and a furlong and he galloped well in hand in 1:57. It was all that was asked and he should be entirely ready. The Brooklyn also promises to see the return of Top Row to competition. The little son of Peanuts and Too High failed to train successfully for his engagement in the Santa Anita Handicap last February and he was put away, with some doubts of his ever being raced again. However, he has been brought back gradually until his recent trials indicate that he is ready for the silks. He is in the Brooklyn under 120 pounds and was to have been ridden by Wayne Wright, who had the mount when he won the Santa Anita Handicap of 1936, except for the fact that Wright, has been suspended. The Greentree Stables Memory Book, well suited at the distance and in nicely at 114 pounds, will be another starter and naturally ridden by Eddie Arcaro. C. S. Howards Seabiscuit, which made all of his excellent reputation after leaving New York, is another prospective starter and he is in the same weight notch of 122 pounds with Aneroid. There are some others among the lighter weights that will undoubtedly accept the issue, but with these definitely named as going to the post the renewal of the old handicap will make the renewal Saturday a worthy one.
