Brooklyn Handicap Day is now but two
short weeks away, and as the time draws
near the conviction forces itself upon one
that the race will be one OF the best ever seen
over the Gravesend course. Reports from
the various stables show that their candi-
dates are In superb shape Longstreet, Race
land, Banquet, Judge Morrow, the McLewee
lot, Maidstone, and others are ready to run
the race OF their lives for the s20, 900 stakes
II is not merely the money that owners will
strive for In the big race. Probably not
one OF the dozen owners who think
they have a look In would sell their
chances for the purse. They want the
honor OF winning . the nrst big stake
OF the season. AS yet only three OF the hand
leap candidates have been asked to go the full
handicap distance and these are the ones
that are likely to be in the front rank. They
are Judge Morrow, Longstreet and Raceland.
The Judge worked the distance in 2.lsx
with "MaIor" Covington on his back
and under the stif1est kind Of q pull.
His chances are second to none. Long
street was also sent the distance
In 2.l5, and Raceland followed IN 2.15l4.
These three horses arc the dangerous ones in
the handicap. Should large field come to
OF either Judge Morrow or Raeeland to those
OF Longstreet, who is a big, long-striding,
numbering fellow, and not likely to be at his
best IN a crowd. He will, OF course, have the
skilrul hand OF Jimmy Mclaughlin to guide
him. The latter has been ordered to get down
TO weight by next Saturday. No other work
was accomplished yesterday worthy OF men
tion.
Jimmy Rowe was on from Washington yes
terday. He saw Raceland work, and was so
enraptured that he declared that the horse
that could beat " old Bones" would win the
Handicap This is good tip, straight from
man who knows Raceland like book.
" Bones Is certainly In grand shape.
