Major opposition for Scotch Bim undoubtedly will be furnished by Mrs. George C. Whites Tennessee-owned Controversity, a four-year-old Contradiction-sired filly, pegged at 109 pounds. The White representative gave an unusually sharp effort here last week, trimming a quick field in the three-quarters mile Daily Racing Form Purse while shouldering 112 pounds.
