Elitlopp invites possible

Don Boss Vita held off the late rally of Mr. Muscleman to win the $154,200 Suc Mac Lad final at the Meadowlands Sunday afternoon in a stakes record 1:52.1. Hurri Kane Billy G finished 4 ¾ lengths behind in third.



Don Boss Vita, who won his season's debut last week in the second leg of the Su Mac Lad, had not previously raced since last June when he was sidelined with a suspensory injury. Overall, the 6-year-old son of Donerail now has a six-race winning streak, increasing his career earnings to $319,337.



"He's got the biggest heart," said Virginia Louthan, who trains Don Boss Vita for her fiancé, owner Alvin Beiler. "As soon as I saw them leave easy and there was no crazy speed duel, I was happy. Once he gets a good opening quarter and clears like that, he will fight them off the distance and he won't give up. God made a truly magnificent animal when He made him. He has old injuries; he's an old warhorse. We want to keep him together and preserve him. If we do, it could be a really good summer."



Hans G. Lindskog, the racing secretary of Solvalla, was on hand to present the Su Mac Lad trophy and to possibly issue invitations to the Elitlopp in May.



"What I saw today was a very impressive performance by Mr. Muscleman and by Don Boss Vita," said Lindskog. "Mr. Muscleman was the best in the race. He was very fast in his last quarter. He had a very unlucky race. But the time is superior.



"I know (trainer) Noel Daley and (owner) Adam Victor are interested in racing at Solvalla, but they also know they can't race with Lasix," Lindskog added of Mr. Muscleman's connections. "He showed today that he can race without it. He raced excellent. I'm going to meet with Adam Victor tonight and discuss what will happen. We long to see an American horse race in the Elitlopp in Sweden."
