The Brighton Handicap which is the richest Of
the three with guaranteed value of $500, has
attracted the biggest entry TO this time. There
are already fifty horses named. including most OF
those entered in the other two and few others.
The Brighton is not until early in July. so
IL Is more attractive 10 three-year-olds than
the other two. Among the good horses of this
age entered Burgomaster, which was gener-
ally ranked as the best OF his age last year: Per-
verse which earned the same high place among
the two-yeaT-old FLIES Ormondae, winner of the
Futurity; whimsical which long held the place
as the best nlly; Trnbre. second TO Ormondale in
the Futurity: Kurok. Bohemian and Astronomer.
This is likely lot of three year-olds from among
which the champion OF the age will probably be
developed. The fun list Of those named for the
Brighton follows
