...most satisfied man at the track, though, was undoubtedly Jolley. A look-alike but not act-alike for Comedian Bob Newhart, the taciturn Jolley, 37, was bred for the Derby. Born in Hot Springs, Ark., while his father, Trainer Moody Jolley, was racing there, LeRoy was a stable veteran at 19, when he received a trainer's license in New York and dropped out of the University of Miami to race full time.
