The publication of the weights for the
Brooklyn and Suburban lIandicaps has
set the Southern horsenen to talking
about the probable weights for the Mont
gomery at Memphis. and, according to
Il well-known New York trainer, just
returned from Memphis, it is the general
opinion there that Ornament was treated
harshly by Handicapped Vosburg, when
asked to give weight to horse like Ben
Brush. Ornaments trainer, Charley
Patterson, seems satisfied, however, and
has made no complaint.
John W. Schorr & Son have Meadow
thorpe, Macy and Agol entered in the
East. Mr.. Schnrr has made no objection
to the weights given his horses. He de-
clares that if their Memphis form war
rants it, part Of his stable will be raced
entirely in the East, with young John
+. Schorr as trainer. This Young man.
eighteen years old, is probably the !
youngest successful trainer in America
lie began as an exercise boy in his
fathers stable, was a successful jockey, |
foreman, is now capable trainer and /
full partner with his father who is rated
a millionaire.
