Chief pre-race interest in the special lies between the favorite and Millsdale Stables Sun Lover. A smashing second to Johnstown in the Dwyer and finishing in front of Challedon in the same event, the son of Sun Beau and Dark Love surprised by that per-IQ formance. He has been close up in all his races this season and there is always the possibility that he may be better than previously regarded. His weight is 117 pounds. George D. Widener will be represented by Eight Thirty. This fellow has shown a dis-lav tinct fondness for the local footing having been a frequent winner during this meeting. He is asked to carry 120 pounds. Wheatley Stables Gilded Knight is closest to Challe- don in the matter of weights under 121 pounds. The winner of the Chesapeake turned in a disappointing performance when installed favorite in the Shevlin, but the possibility of an off track enhances his chance. Belair Studs Thellusson which will race coupled with Gilded Knight, has shown brilliant form in winning his recent races in excellent time. Unless he proves to be overmatched, he might give a good account of himself. He gets in todays race under the comparative feather of 112 pounds. The Greentree pair Hash and Third Degree, will be meeting stiff opposition but Hashs good second to Johnstown in the Withers forces consideration for him and Third Degree was able to annex third honors in the Shevlin. Others entered are John A. Manfusos Affair and Robert Harris Tiberius but these two appear to be overmatched. A fair card has been arranged to support the feature headed by the Powder House Handicap at the same distance as the head-liner. While the track may be off, there is a promise that overhead conditions will be ideal and a near record attendance is anticipated.
