...This week, announcing weights for next spring's Experimental Free Handicap, Jockey Club Handicapper John B. Campbell gave his weighty opinion. At the top of Campbell's list (with 126 Ibs.) stood Pennsylvania-bred Uncle Miltie,† winner of the Champagne and Wakefield Stakes. Other top weights: Belmont Futurity Winner Battlefield and Pimlico Futurity Winner Big Stretch (each 124 Ibs.), To Market (121 Ibs.), Battle Morn...
...Next Move, and Calumet's handicap star, Ponder (total winnings: $541,275). Others which had to be given a chance at the weights: New York's Palestinian, California's On Trust and the 1946 Triple Crown winner, Assault. Noor, beaten three times in three starts at Belmont in the fall, was back in form; in a tune-up race, he broke the Hollywood track record for a mile and an eighth. Hill Prince had matched this with a smashing mile-and-a-quarter trial. Next Move had won two stakes races in two weeks...

...Long Island to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the United Nations. He made no triumphant entry into Manhattan, thus avoiding an official greeting by Acting Mayor Vincent Impellitteri, the backslid Democrat. Instead, his private car, the Ferdinand Magellan, crossed Manhattan Island underground during the night and was sidetracked at Belmont Race Track. At 6:45 the President went out for a fast walk through the neighborhood. He looked rested and relaxed when in mid-morning a 113-motorcycle police escort led him to Flushing Meadow...
