Night Officer Third and Why Not Whiskey Fourth at Belmont Park

Two old racing warriors went to battle on the same day at Belmont and both performed well. Night Officer fought gamely down the stretch to finish third in a $90,000 Allowance race on the turf (run in a lightning fast 1:07.87 for 6 furlongs) and, earlier, Why Not Whiskey had to rally from behind a wall of horses to finish fourth in a mile and a sixteenth affair, also on the grass. Both horses were ridden by Forrest Boyce, a leading Mid-Atlantic rider who made the trip to Belmont to ride them.
