He, howeve: picks 4ip 11 pounds, which is not too eas a task to overcome. Alternative is the lightweight and is als a graduate from the claiming ranks. Unde the feathery impost he must be considere as something of a factor. King Jolie is nc the King Jolie of the early spring days i Maryland but could improve. Anchor Man has some creditable effort in the book while Dead Duck, Press ah La Perouse must show to better advantag to be given real consideration. Big Print : to be ridden by Arcaro, and naturally th: will weigh heavily with the followers c the Cincinnatian. Big Print has raced we on occasions.
