The writer was very pleased to receive in the mail yesterday, a letter from J. Alfred Valentine, executive vice-president and gen- eral manager of Roosevelt Race- way, Westbury, Long Island, en- closing an official pass for Roose- velt Raceway, season of 1958. We are grateful to our friend, Mr.

Valentine, for his kind thought-‘

fullness:

Roosevelt Ra-ceway had its first. race program of the season on Tuesday night, A-pril 1. The $20,000,000 track showed its pop- ularity by drawing over 32,000 fans to its confines despite the none-too-pleasant weather 't h a t prevailed. The pari-mutuels set a new opening night record, with almost $2,000.000 passing through the iron men.

while they -are racing in New York, they have concluded at Santa Anita, and despite the bad weather in California, they set a new season’s record. Tomorrow afternoon. racing starts at Blue Bonnets, Montreal, and will con- tinue there, and at Richelieu, for 200 nights.

What is not well known is that his handsome young wife, Dorothy Haughton, loves horses and has been around them all her life.

Her father was a judge at har- ness horse race tracks. and that is why Dorothy early learned a lot about horses. At the night racing contests, she is always present,,_if possible, and other wives of drivers get together with her and wa-tch the contests

Whe 11 her hubby gets shorthanded. she helps train the horses, and Bill says: “She can, too.”

At: 34, Bill has been driving hor- ses for 17 years. His first start was at a county fair when he was in High School. From the time he was eight years old. he picked up sipare money working around on farms,’ often for as
