Rosemont Won't Perform Again Until Midsummer LOS ANGELES, March 1 (UP) Rosemont, winner of the $100,000 Santa Anita handicap Saturday, will be back next year to defend the title, Trainer Dick Handlen of the Foxcatcher Farms said today. Tha big bay came out of the grueling handicap a trifle sore, and will not be entered In the$10,000 San Juan Capistrano handicap which closes the Santa Anita meeting meet-ing next Saturday, He will get a long rest but probably will start in the $20,000 Brooklyn handicap at Belmont park In midsummer, Handlen Hand-len aid. Tha $90,700 winnings of last Saturday Sat-urday boosted Roeemont's earnings to $168,790 and put him well on the road toward joining that select circle of six steeds that have won more than $300,000. The trainer aald he had nearly given up hope for Rosemont several times. Ths horse haa shelly front feet and two weeks ago he had to be kept standing alternately in tubs of Iced and hot water, to soften the hooves. Jockey Johnny Pollard, who rode Seebiscult in the handicap, blamed himself for losing the race. "I didn't realise Rosemont was so close," ha said. The finish was so close that the result had to be determined by the photograph. Rosemont came from behind to win by a nose and Pollard believed If he had applied the whip to Seebiscult sooner, his mount could have won. But Roeemont's jockey, Harry Richards, said he "wasn't sure until ths last 100 yards that we could catch Seabiscuit Then I knew It"
