Seven quick sprinters are entered in the Belle Isle, campaigning for six interests. The Henry Forrest duo of Old Tom and Fine Art is expected to go postward choice in the dash. The Forrest entry will meet some shifty opposition in the Belle Isle for D. J. Glee-. sons Chombro, who is to have the saddle services of Tommy Barrow and gets in the sprint with 108 pounds. Adelard Lamou-. reux will send Wintag postward and Joseph A. Goodwins hope for Belle Isle honors is the speedy Black Wing. Mrs. George Shwab, Jr., is to be represented by Vixen Rose and P. L. Grissoms Ida C. completes the likely starting band for the feature. Old Tom defeated Pnut Vendor, Alphara, and Streaming Lady, among others, in a three-quarters mile event at Churchill Downs in April, stepping the distance in 1:11 under 121 pounds. Previous to that conquest, the Forrest gelding visited the winners circle at Tropical Park. Old Toms stablemate, Fine Art, also is a good winner this year, scoring a pair of victories in eight trips to the post. The gelded son of The Finest is favorably weighted at 111 pounds and he probably will be ridden by young Johnny Turner, one of the better apprentice reinsmen here this year. Three six-furlong races, which are to match well-balanced fields, open the card and nine of the better two-year-olds quartered at the course will clash in the four and one-half furlongs fourth. Three-year-olds and older are scheduled to meet in the fifth at three-quarters mile while four-year-olds and upward will contest the seventh at a similar distance. Seven useful middle distance performers are slated to answer the bugle for the mile and a sixteenth nightcap. 1
