i | ITen Good Routers In Fort Hamilton Impulsivo to Meet Bradley, Contribution, King Jolie And Big Print at Aqueduct AQUEDUCT, L. I., N. Y., June 24.— Th Fort Hamilton, a handicap for three-year olds and over at one and one-sixteentl miles, is the top offering for Friday. Thi event attracted a field of 10 to compet for the winners portion of the ,500 purse Only one eligible for the Brooklyn Handi cap, to be decided on the final day of th meeting, July 10, is in tomorrows field namely the five-year-old King Jolie rep resenting Isidore Bieber. He was assignee 120 pounds and will be ridden by Willii Boland. Should the weather follow the forecas of the experts, it will be clear and warn tomorrow and the racing strip will be a its best. Track superintendent Lennie Lit wak said that the heavy rains of yesterda were .needed and the downpour served t bind the somewhat cuppy and loosely hel soils that resulted from the dry spell. The Fort Hamilton weights assignment present no great spread, to what the sty dents consider the overnight contentior The top weight is 122 pounds assigned th South American-bred Impulsivo and th lightest impost is 104 on Alternative. Brad ley and King Jolie are in at 120 each, whil Big Print is slated to carry 117. Dead Due and La Perouse are assigned 113 apiec while Anchor Man has 112 as his burder Contribute is next in line with 111 an then comes Press at 109 and rounding ou the field is Alternative with 104 and Sid ney Cole as the pilot. Bradley Well Regarded Bradley, owned by Mrs. C. Oliver Iselir will likely be the one invested with th honor of pre-post favoritism. He finishe second in his last start and the presence c Eric Guerin in the saddle will not hurt hi cause. The public here prefers a horse wh has raced at least once over the strip, an Bradley turned in a better-than-averag effort last time out to be second to Firj Glance in a sprint race. Bradley close willingly that time, an indication that h could go on. Contribution, is moving up from th higher claiming ranks, but has not bee seen under colors since June 9 at Belmor Park when he sped to victory over the mil distance. Mrs. R. J. Maloney, Jr.s coloi bearer looms as the second choice. Impulsivo, who was recently acquired b the San Francisco sportswoman, Mrs. Joh Payson Adams, is considered a strong con tender despite his top weight. The Sout American-bred- will be ridden by the Span ish conquistador, Angel Valenzuela, who : familiar with his actions and method c running. Impulsivo was a bang-up thir over the mile and one-sixteenth distanc last time out to Bassanio and Resilient an a return to that effort could bring aboi: his first win of the year. 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.
