OLD FAVORITES IN RACE BRING FRENCH AND GERMAN TEAMS INTO PLAY
The field includes familiar riders from past Garden contests and several new threats. Notable newcomers are French pairs Faber and Laforcecade and Italian Marco Brocco teamed with Roger Labrousse. Favorites Matt Downey and Pokey Logan inspire crowd support, while German Dutch duo Walter Rutt and John Stol are tipped as likely winners. Intercity pair Joe Fogler and Ivor Lawson and Dixie Yankee duo Bobby Walthour and Eddie Root are strong rivals if unscathed. Lawson ranks high in sprinting, with Rutt the fastest on his team and Root faster than Walthour. Menus Bedell with Eddie Rupprecht draw spectator sympathy amid prior luck woes.
