GREY LAG FAVORITE
FOR THE BROOKLYN
In Receipt of Nine Pounds
From Exterminator in
Aqueduct Classic.

That the spring meeting of the Queens
County Jockey Club. which opens to-day,
will be memorable one is evidenced by
its early promise With two such events
as the Brooklyn Handicap and the Carl
ton Stakes on it's roster the first two
days may be accented as an indication
of what is to be expected later on.
The presence of Exterminator and
Grey Lag is guarantee of the quality
of the Brooklyn, while the fact that
Norwich will make his first start this
year In the East in the Carlton will
interest racegoers.
That the Brooklyn will be a mighty
turf battle Is assured. Exterminator's
phenomenal form this spring has caused
the public to place him on a pedestal.
and he is appropriately ranked among
the greatest horses the American turf
has known. If he can shoulder 135
pounds and give a four-year-old OF tina
admitted class of Grey Lag nine pounds
and his gelding allowance he will be en-
titled to the acclaim Of followers of the
thoroughbred the world over. Grey Lag
probably will 60 to the post the favoritc.
Grey Lag won this race last year when
a three-year-old. He carried Ito pounds
and covered the mile and furlong in
40 As, only two-flfths of second be-
hind the record for the race, made by
Borrow in 1917. That Grey Lag is back
to form which made him the best three
year-old in 1921 was shown by the way
he galloped mile over Belmont Park 2
few days ago in :36 with the same I'M
post on his back as he will carry to-day.
II this pair alone started for the
Brooklyn the race would be great one.
but there is lot of other good material
engaged for the fine old fixture, whict
was inaugurated in 1887, when 1t was
won by Dry Monopole after a heart
breaking struggle with Blue Wing and
Hidalgo.
Norwich will find stiff opposition in the
Carlton, as Whiskaway, Snob III. and
other eligibes are able to carry their
unquestioned speed over the mile route
the stake calls for.
