...Woodward horses won their owner-breeder $229,000 ($137,500 on U. S. tracks and $91,500 abroad), world's-record winnings that year, outstripping the winnings of the fabulous stables of Lord Astor, the Earl of Derby and the Aga Khan (in that order). And in the following year, Woodward-owned horses took first place in four of the nine English stakes in which they started and earned more money ($104,365) than any U. S. stable had ever won in England in one year. Last week on the eve of the opening of Saratoga, the Belair Stud, with...

...built on a $140,000 site in West Kensington, the Nizamiah Mosque is so called because the biggest donation for it, $300,000, was wangled by Lord Headley from the Nizam of Hyderabad & Berar, "world's richest man" (TIME, Feb. 22).

Queen Elizabeth, however, bet ?1 on Mid-Day Sun, quoted at 100-to-7. Mid-Day Sun's best previous performance had been...
Epsom Downs is not a flat mile-and-a-half but a tricky course which first runs uphill, drops down around a sharp turn, rises again at the finish. Coming into the stretch, Goya II forged in front as Perifox and the Aga Khan's Le Grand Duc moved up to challenge. Goya II soon faltered and Jockey Michael Beary, who had run Mid-Day Sun to the outside to escape the friction at the turn, pushed his steed fresh down the sun-baked stretch, streaked up to a clean length's lead. Mid-Day Sun held fast...
