SPLENDID FIELD TO START IN $50,000 PREAKNESS STAKES MONDAY

Speed and Class of Threes Year-Olds to Be Tested. Bu United Pres* PIMLICO RACE TRACK, Md., May 6. —The speed and class of the 3-year-olds of 1927 will be tested Monday when the $50,000 added Preakness Stakes will be run, five days before the Kentucky Derby. A splendid field is certain to •start, it appeared today from a survey of the ellglbles and their recent activities. Between twenty and twenty-five probably will be entered, some eighteen of whom may be expected to start. Public Interest Public Interest centers chiefly around Harry Payne Whitney’s Whiskery and W. M. Jefford’s Man o’ War colt, Scapa Plow, both of them Derby candidates and among the most promising colts of the season. Osmand and War Eagle, vying with them for public favor, are in Louisville for the Derby and will not start in the Preakness. Col. E. R. Bradley’s formidable Kentucky stable will bear tlfe hopes of the West in Buddy Baer, piloted by Albert Johnson. Both colt and jockey will hasten back to Louisville, where Bewithus, 800 and Buddy Baer are the stable’s Derby possibilities. Walter J. Salmon, who has two Preakness victories to his credit, will be represented by the speedy Black Panther, with Maiben as the rider. R The Rancocas stable, for a change, Pyill not be represented. Seagram Represented . The Seagram Stable, having a triumphant season, has Sir Harry and Wandering Minstrel. Both colts are strong contenders and Wandering Minstrel was to match strides with Scapa Flow this afternoon as a conditioner in the Bowling Brook Purse. The Sage stable’s Rip Rap and A. G. Weston’s Jopagon are two more to be considered. The Greentree Stable will have Saxon, another possibility. Justice F., remembered for his performance in tlie Coffroth Handicap, is almost a certain starter. He lias been under cover since Tin Juana, pointing for this fixture. The Foxcatcher Farms’ Fair Star, last year’s big money winner, ran a creditable race behind Fandera in the Pimlico Oaks Thursday to be beaten only a head, and Should give a good account of herself in the | Preakness. That disposes of the most outstand I ing of the probable starters, and with | fair weather and a fast track, a rec- 1 ord crowd should be treated to a , ■■ace that will be a credit to the tradi- j tions of the historic Preakness. j
