The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1898-02-08

The Times Herald says: 1t is one
thing to handicap a lot or horses and
another thing to criticise the weights
assigned them. Invariably one will hear
the remark, "So-and- SO is thrown in
and invariably you will find So-and-So
does ont win. w. S. Nosburgh, the
Eastern Handicapped, has weathered the
storm on many occasions, and his work
will stand close scrutiny.
The Brooklyn handicap was inaugu
rated in 1887. The fastest time made i'll
the race was 2:07, and the sloWest time,
2:13, heavy and slow tracks predominant
ing. The Gravesend track record for
one and quarter miles is 2:0612. In the
subjoined table are given the best rec
ords made during the last II months by
the horses engaged at or as near the
Brooklyn handicap distance as they
have raced over This will enable one
to form some idea as to the chance each
animal possesses.
Ben Brush has naturally got the post
of honor, though Ornament is given only
one pound less. These two met on one
occasion last year. Ut was at one and
quarter miles, when Ben won by three
lengths, giving Ornament nine pounds.
Their records show that Ben should beat
him again. Ben Holiday would be
suited better by a long distance. On
Deck seems overweighted. Tillo was
beaten only a head by Ornament in the
Oakley Derby, and now the former has
nine pounds the best of the weights,
which should make him dangerous. DR..
Catlett, Typhoon H., Howard Mann and
Don de ORC appear to have too much
weight, but Lehman. If good on the day,
should have great chance.
OF imp. Royal Stag nothing is known.
Loki ran third last year in this race
with los pounds, and If the track is
heavy this year should be knocking at
