High King, owned by the Gavegnanos, who reside in nearby Winthrop, Mass., will be flown here over the week end. He will be ridden by Johnny Adams who guided him to his only victory of the year at the Balmoral-at-Washington Park in May. His weight assignment for Wednesday is 107 pounds which will be the low weight among the starters. High King, lightly raced last year as he faced the starter only four times, was a highly regarded two-year-old in his first year of racing. His connections were elated over his possibilities, with the result that he was nominated for all the big three-ear-old races of 1956. His starts last year included the Kentucky Derby, Derby Trial and the Wood Memorial.
