: 4 Connors Corner Ki I roe Expects Field of Nine Or Ten for Belmont on June 15 By C. J. CONNORS BELMONT PARK, Elmont, L. I., N. Y June 3. Racing secretary and handicap-per Frank E. Kilroe, in discussing the outlook for the upcoming Belmont Stakes, due for decision June 15, said the race will attract a field of nine or 10 starters. This estimate came after a study of the recent races and training reports of the many eligibles. The field, according to Kilroe, shapes up as follows: Bold Ruler from the Wheatley Stable; Gallant Man, owned by Ralph Lowe; Barbizon, Calumet Farm; Inside Tract, D. and M. Stable, Mrs. Jules Schwartz Nah Hiss; Louis Lee Haggins Ma-teau; Cain Hoy Stables Lucky Dip, Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs Promised Land and Bold Nero, a stable companion of Gallant Man in the Lowe stable. These probable starters are considered conjecture on the part of Kilroe although he has assurance from owners and trainers, that barring accidents, they can be looked upon as starters. Anyway the field shapes up as one of the most likely looking to parade postward in several years. Last year when Needles, an odds-on choice, prevailed over Career Boy, eight rounded out the field. The Belmont can settle some . problems that have troubled racing men over the past few months. Shoemakers error in easing Gallant Man a stride or two from the finish and with Iron Liege not a starter, that argument will have to wait another meeting between the two. While Kilroe is showing some enthusiasm over the Belmont his major consideration at the moment is the Juvenile coming up on Wednesday. This dash over the five furlongs of the. Widener course will not only be intersectional but international. Canada will be represented by a starter, the North Downs Stables Air Chief. New Jersey, New England, Maryland and Delaware will have representatives in the five furlong test, which carries an added value of 5,000. Amarullah Shipped to Farm Trainer J. H.
