With the leaders so tightly bunched, a break could win the race, any mistake would surely lose it. On the 93rd lap, Gurney pulled into the Lotus pit for a routine tire change-and lost all chance of victory. A nervous mechanic misplaced his hammer; Colin Chapman finally found it and kicked it over to him. The delay cost Gurney an insurmountable 42.2 sec. Clark fared only slightly better: his one pit stop, on the 95th lap, took 32.3 sec.-and Jones shot back into the lead. Blocked by heavy traffic, Clark was unable to capitalize on Jones...

But this year the still spiny "Cactus Jack" gaveled down the traditional...

But last week, Horse Fancier Eisenhower (he has quarter horses at his Gettysburg, Pa., farm) stood in the rain at New York's Belmont Park with 51,585 other breed improvers to watch the 93rd running of the Belmont Stakes. For Ike, as for everyone else, the star attraction was Carry Back-a little, long-tailed colt who had won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness. and needed only the Belmont to become the first horse in 13 years to capture the fabled Triple Crown...
