WEIGHT HELD FAIR
FOR WARADM
Small Horses Bearing High
lmposts Great Winners,
Frank Bryan Notes.
BY ORLO ROBERTSON.

NEW YORK, Feb. ls CP.-Frank
j. Bryan, for IS years one of the
countrys ranking handicappers, today
took exception to Samuel d. Riddles
statement that horse as small as
War Admiral should not carry 100
pounds. The Admiral has been as
signed that weight for the $50 900
Widener Challenge Cup at Hialeah
Park March S.
why, there"ve been plenty of small
horses that carried high weight and
never suffered" said Bryan. "Just
look at Peanuts, for one. He was al
most a Galloway IA small, hardy
horse from Galloway, Scotland), yet
he carried high weights consistently
and won Then, too, he went on to
prove himself in the stud"
Other Great Little Horses.
Bryan, who admits to being some
where near 10 years of age, also
recalled the important steeplechaser,
Faskadale. He was under Is hands
and weighed only little over 800
pounds. but won races at 2l2 miles
with 100 or more pounds in the
saddle
More recently, there has been
Equipoise. He wasn't big horse, but
often carried more than l30 pounds.
"Ekky'' had 1913 up when he set the
world record Of 1:342s at Arlington
Park in 1882. Grey Lag was an
other on the small side, but he, too,
won with plenty weight in the saddle.
Yes, there've been host of small,
medium sized and big horses that have
won under 130 pounds or more" de-
clared Bryan.
In field like the Widener, think
War Admiral has been we'll treated. If
there were three or four top-notch
horses in the race. then the handicap
per could have rated them all little
below his usual standard and dropped
the remainder far down. But with the
Admiral the standout, there's nothing
Handicapped could do except what
Charley McLennan did if he expects
to bring the horses anywhere near to-
gether at the finish"
Admiral Due More Weight.
While not saying so. Bryan indi-
Gated the Admiral would have to carw
much more in the summer handicaps
if he continues his fine form. Per-
sonally, the veteran Handicapped is in
favor of high weights
It'll do much to Danish rough rid
ing by giving the more experienced
boys chance to keep busy" he said.
I've found that the inexperienced,
lightweight apprentices usually cause
most of the trouble in a race. They're
usually too willing to do anything to
make name for themselves"
