Van­ derbilt's horse, after being downed six times by Cavalcade as a three year old, came on last season to rank the undisputed handicap champion of 1935, and apparently one of the great­ est nags since Man O' War. Outside of two warmup sprints in early Jime, his only defeats came in late August » and October, when a very tired horse was forced to carry 138 or 139 pounds. Who can beat him? Cavalcade might, if laying out a year, and still ailing hoofs, were not too much of a handicap. Top Row beat the great horse twice, with the kind 'aid of the weight handicappers who gave him a huge advantage. In the Santa Anita, Top Row will carry 116 pounds.
