Grey lag. winner of the etropoli—
tan Handicap. under 133 pounds will
be required to take up 135 pounds in
the Suburban Handicap at one mile
and a quarter. which will be run next
Saturday at Belmont Park.
Walter S. Vosburgh allotted the
weights yesterday. and o! the sixty
horses named. Grey Lag is at the top
and Park Hill. with only ninety
pounds. at. the bottom.
Kai-Sang stands second to Grey
Lag with 129 pounds, and then fol-
lows H. P. W'hitney's Bunting with
126. Mad Hatter with 124 and Lucky
Hour with 132.
ch. winner of the Kentucky Der-
by and The Withers. heads the three-
ycar-olds with 115 pounds. and ac-
cording to Mr. Vssburgh's latest rat-
ing. he is seven pounds better than
Martingale and 9 pounds better than
Vigil. winner of The Preaknem.
No three-year-old has ever won a
Suburban Handicap under 115 pounds
and the chances are against Zev go-
ing to the post. as the Rancocas Sta—
ble holds a strong hand without him
and. furthermore. the good three-
year-old is eligible for the lylmout
Stakes the following Saturday.
The Suburban Handicap was first
run in 1885. when the Coney Island
Jockey Club held forth at Sheepshead
Bay. General Monroe raced to victory
in a head and head finish with We;
Eagle and Jack of Hearts. and since
that day the race has ever been one of
the most coveted fixtures ot the East-
ern racing season.
The Westchester Racing Associa-
tion took over the Suburban when the
gates at Sheepshead Bay were closed.
So far as can be Judged the field
next Saturday will he the equal in
point of quality as any which has
gone before.
