THE BUTLER DID IT-AND SO DID SEVEN OTHER HORSES

July 10, 1961

For the first time, last Friday, an entire field of eight horses paced the mile in under two minutes on a half-mile track. This is equivalent to a field of eight track men running a mile in under four minutes. The film-patrol photo shows the eight at Roosevelt Raceway as the winner, Adios Butler, crossed the wire, equaling the world record of 1:57.4. Others are: No. 3, Apmat, 1:58.3: No. 8, False Step, 1:58.3: No. 1, Newport Admiral, 1:58.4; No. 7, Tar Boy, 1:59; No. 2, Mr. Budlong, 1:59: No. 5 Stephan Smith, 1:59.1: No. 6, Countess Adios, 1:59.1
