Pound- Foolish?

In Chicago, where 132 lbs. is the maximum weight a race horse is required to carry, all-conquering Calumet Farm got ready to hear the cash register ring. It was different there from Belmont Park, N.Y., where last month the handicapper tried to put 138 Ibs. on Coaltown in the rich Sub urban Handicap -- and Calumet refused to run him. At Arlington Park last week, carrying 132, Coaltown got his nose in front momentarily in the $27,800 Equipoise Mile. After that, he looked like just an other horse as he took a three-length trouncing from Star Reward, running and free with only 116 Ibs. up. It Coaltown's first defeat in nine starts year.
