Can’t Wait Shakes Off Place Jinx to Take Rich Butler Handicap at Empire/
- A.. .. .— - - - _.
Favored Eight Thirty
Finishes Third to
Selznick Horse
War Dog Takes Second
Money; Winner Close
To Track Record
By the Associated Press.
YONKERS. N. Y., July 6.—Myron
Selznick’s hard luck horse Can’t
r Wait, a 5-year-old that has been
" second in numerous big stakes this
year, broke loose the jinx and won
the sixth Butler Handicap before a
crowd of 21,460 here this ideal
afternoon.
With the talented Basil James in
the saddle, the son of Victorian took
the $21,000 major share of the
purse by a length and a half, run
ning the 11-16 miles in 1:57 3-5. only
one-fifth of a second slower than
Lovely Night’s track record.
The victor paid $11.90.
No Excuse for Eight Thirty.
H. F. Guggenheim’s War Dog sur
prised by heading G. D. Widener’s
Eight Thirty, top-weighted favorite
of the field and chief claimant to the
championship of the handicap divi
■ sion, for the place. Eight Thirty
had no apparent excuse.
Isolator, which beat Can’t Wait
and Eight Thirty in the Brooklyn
, Handicap, could only rally enough
- to finish fourth in the field of nine.
Eight Thirty, carrying 128 pounds
to the winner’s 111, was beaten, but
not disgraced. He closed at 6 to 5.
It was Can’t Wait’s second 1940
triumph in 10 attempts.
Although the attendance was
nearly 10.000 below that of July 4. it
was likely that the mutuels handle
would approximate the $1,024,661
wagered on the holiday card.
Can't Wait Is Pressed.
The Chief and War Dog raced like
a team while dueling for the leader
ship until the field rounded out of
the backstretch. James, who had
kept Can’t Wait about two lengths
behind the pacemakers, made his
move on that final bend. Can’t Wait
spurted and shot to the front as they
swung for home.
The Selznick veteran opened up
several lengths’ advantage after
straightening in the stretch, but he
had to be hard ridden when War
Dog gamely came again and Eight
Thirty rallied. The latter, sixth
in the early running, bounded into
third place nearing the final turn.
He made up at least four lengths in
the last furlong, but could not con
cede the weight and win. Isolator,
after racing wide all the way, trailed
' Eight Thirty by two lengths.

Rossvan's Comment
Selections for a Fast Track at Suffolk Downs
BEST BET—DEVIL’S BANNER.
r j n o i nr.,
SPITEFUL, SKATING MAD.
TOTACHE has raced fairly well
and tomorrow's opposition doesn't
call for much. SPITEFUL has
been working in approved fash
ion and may be in the thick of it.
SKATING MAD should complete
the money picture.
SECOND RACE—L A C T O S E,
CODALL, LOW ROAD.
LACTOSE improved in his last
and may go to the front with the
break and hold sway through
out, CODALL runs well on oc
casion and should capture some
portion of the purse. LOW ROAD
is apt to improve on his last and
may account for the rest of it,
THIRD RACE —BETROTHED,
MERRY ONIG, TORNADO.
BETROTHED closed well in
last race and appears ready for
winning effort. MERRY ONIG
has some good form to recom
mend him and may dispute the
issue. TORNADO is a money pos
sibility in this class.
FOURTH RACE—DEVIL’S BAN
NER, MISTER MAJOR,
ADOLPH.
DEVIL'S BANNER is w-ell
placed and should land in win
ners’ circle. MISTER MAJOR is
due for improvement and should
press. ADOLPH for what is left.
rxrin liLUW,
BELMAR ARRA, AUREOLE.
NIGHT GLOW won his last
easily and has shown consistent
class. BELMAR ARRA has good
form, won his last, and is work
ing well. AUREOLE has won both
starts at Suffolk and isn’t out
of it.
SIXTH RAC E—P ATROL
SCOUT, UPSTREAM, SLIENT
WITNESS, y
PATROL SCOUT should ac
count for this easily on recent
efforts. UPSTREAM, on his last
race, is one to beat. SILENT
WITNESS for the consolation
money.
SEVENTH RACE—PAUSE, OLI)
MAID, YOUR BUDDY.
PAUSE is preferred and. on
best effort, should earn brackets.
OLD MAID can be counted on
for an honest effort. YOUR
BUDDY would have to improve
to take better than show money.
EIGHTH RACE—RED ROGUE,
EASTPORT, KEVS RE
VENGE.
RED ROGUE stands out in this
race and is likely to repeat.
EASTPORT should furnish most
of the contention. KEN'S RE
VENGE improved in last and is„
not out of it.
Loveday Tears Home
In Suffolk Downs’
Hannah Dustin
By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, July 6.—Mrs. William
R. Flemming's Loveday, a 7-1 shot
in the mutuels, registered a smash
ing three-quarter length triumph
today in the $5,000 added Hannah
Dustin Handicap at Suffolk Downs
Race Track before 25.000.
Mrs. V. Wyse's Orcades ran sec
ond, a half length in front of Con
stance Morabito's Monida, in the
field of 11 starters.
Loveday, a 4-year-old chestnut
daughter of Petee Wrack and Friar's
Love, was purchased at Mrs. C. O.
Iselin's dispersal sale at Saratoga
two years ago for $1500. She ran the
1 l-16th in 1.44^5 for her third
straight victory and also for her
first stake triumph, and paid $16.00,
$7.60, $5.60. Orcades paid $11.60 and
$9.20, and Monida paid $11.80.
Loveday was last around the first
turn, but Jockey Wilie Duffy saved
ground on the inside, went to the
outside at the three-eighth pole and
let her run. With the pack jamming
at the 16th pole, Loveday surged up
on the outside and took it all.
