Devil Diver Boosts Bankroll Past $100000 at Aqueduct
New York June 14 When Mrs Payne Whitney’s Gee Gee returns to form Devil Diver roars back to the winner’s circle at Aqueduct in the Carter handicap lifting his career earnings over the $101000 mark in two and a half years of racing. Georgie Wolf rode the winner to add to a spring record of seven starts with the top handicap campaigners. The Diver’s comeback is credited largely to Wolf’s riding and to his team with Eddie Arcaro once again in the saddle for key moments. A card featuring 29 320 bettors produced a $2 240 865 Aqueduct record and a $27 150 payday for the Diver to push his total beyond six figures.
