Some of the strongest opposition to the program's activities has come from a Catholic priest in Belmont, the Rev. Robert Boyle. "The student speakers get into areas of morality and philosophy that are beyond their competence," Boyle said last night. He added that the presentation of some topics in the meetings is "not proper" for students of high school...
...action against the program was apparently touched off by a card which Miss Bieberman distributed at registration this fall. The card read: "Some things are banned in Belmont, among them philosophy. Corruptors of the youth urgently needed." It showed "an amazing lack of good judgement," Miss Taylor remarked...
...Kelso, 1960's "horse of the year," entered the $110,600 Woodward Stakes at Belmont Park a heavy favorite, defied a Woodward tradition that favorites rarely win, and whisked to a six-length win (the last five had not) in 2:00 flat to tie a 48-year-old track record, boosted his 1961 earnings...

With a few such exceptions, buying yearlings-which are a year away from any track-is a risky proposition.
