KAYAK CAN RUN
Let no one tell you that Kayak
ii can't run. I saw him win the
100000 handicap at Santa
Anita early in the year. and in
that race and several others he
looked unbeatable. Blessed with
plenty of early foot he stayed
with the sprinters from the start
and at the finish his abundant
stamina found him going away.
Crayat looked good on the
coast, too. especially In winning
the $4,000 San Juan Capistrano
handicap. But that fancily
named stake was at a mile and
n half. and that IL the distance
Crayat likes because he is a slow
starter who really doesn't begin
to run until he has warmed up
for mile. Yet, according to
Alfred Vanderbilt, head of PIN
leo and sponsor Of the special,
Cravat's owner, Townsend Mar
tin. said the mile and 3-16ths
route suited him perfectly.
Isolater will be the outsider in
the race, both in the betting and
breeding. He was foaled in Ire
land on the farm of Boyd
Rochefort, England's best known
trainer and the man who
handles William Woodward's
foreign stable. Isolater was
supposed to have confined his
racing to English tracks, but
when the English placed a tre-
mendous tax on Irish horses,
Owner Woodward brought him
to this country.
