Three of those Bobby Brocato will encounter in Saturdays headliner already I have won stakes this meeting and another recently equaled the local track record of 1:08% for six .furlongs. Terrang, who is to carry 122 pounds, was never headed in the Argonaut in which he ran a mile in 1:33%. In his only other start at this meeting he was fourth in the Californian. Last winter he captured the San Antonio Handicap and placed in four other Santa Anita features. Find, who last year won or placed in 16 stakes, won the Hollywood Premiere here early in the meeting and later was third in each the California and the Argonaut. He is to shoulder 118 pounds in the Inglewood.
