t NEW YORK, June 14.-Tomorrow the
Suburban, the greatest equine event of
the racing year, will be run. The race
this year is of less value than ever before.
owing to the uncertainty that surrounded
the fate of the racing in New York state.
However, the horse owner does not value
the suburban for its money. 1t is the
honor of winning this great handicap
that is coveted. Following are the en-
tries. weights ana probable Jockeys:
Sir Walter, 126, Doggett Domino. 1913,
Taral; Rubicon 119, Midgley; Lszzarone,
115, Murphy Sister Mary, 115, Hamilton;
Declare, 1Os, J. Lamley; Song and Dance,
&c. Griffin.
The withdrawal of Ramapo has been
great factor in the interest in the race.
In the seven entries three are confessedly
out only for second or third money.
Song and Dance is the light weight of
the party, having to take up but ninety
nine pounds, although with Griffin in his
saddle he will have to carry several
pounds overweight. Declare was only
decided upon as starter after
Ramapo had been cratched. Mr.. Dwyer,
thinking that he had fair chance to be
third at least, and if the track should
happen to be wet there is no telling where
he might land. Rubicon has not shown
his ability to 60 the distance thus far.
and Mcdonald has hopes OF one of the
places after the winner.
Sister Mary is most erratic perfor-
mer, and so far in the east has not shown
that she belongs in the class with the
Others This leaves Sir Walter, Domino
and Lazzarone as the most likely con-
tenders. Sir Walter is the top weight, but
he has time and time again shown his
ability to carry weight and win in fast
company over the distance. He is one of
the gamest horses that ever looked
through bride and can be depended upon
to exert every ounce OF strength before he
gives up.
Lazzarone was the second horse in the
Brooklyn handicap, and takes up 1I5
pounds This is two more pounds than he
carried then, and it should not make any
difference to him. He was a disappoint-
ment to his wner after that race, for he
ran twice and was nowhere.
Since then he has had a rest and may
do better, but he was always an uncer-
tain beast. If Isaac Murphy will only
ride with as good judgment as he did in
the Brooklyn handicap Lazzarone is by no
means out of the race for he, too, can 60
the distance.
Domino is the other and the odds-on
favorite. He has to take up 123 pounds,
with Taral on his back. According to
his work he looks to be sure winner.
and few of the trainers at the track are
willing to concede his defeat. The few
who have pinned their faith to Sir Walter
and Lazzarone declare Domino is moth
ing but sprinter. Mr.. Keene seems sure
his horse will win, and the trainer, Will
lam Lakeland. will not allow any talk OF
defeat to Domino. Domino has raced but
three times in his life at over mile, and
did not cover himself with glory either
time. Domino is in tight box. for if he
sets hot pace he will have Sir Waiter
and Lazzarone to contend with a : the end
and if it is slow pace, then Rubicon
may give him trouble.
