...record in the 100-yd. butterfly (0:54.6), boosted the Wolverines to 72 points and the championship. ¶ Winter-book bettors got some new form to fret over when Kentucky Derby hopefuls went to the post in both Florida and New York. Artfully steered by Champion Jockey Willie Hartack, Calumet Farm's Tim Tarn worked his way between horses to catch lightly favored Lincoln Road and win Gulfstream's Florida Derby by half a length. At Jamaica, Elkcam Stable's Hubcap just stole the Swift Stakes from Warner Stable's Levelation by a dirty nose...

As the 1957 racing season galloped on, Hartack went on to ride almost every champion horse of the year. When Hialeah opened its current meeting with a parade of eight of last year's top horses, the only compromise that would satisfy the owners was to have exercise boys in the saddles...
Willie Hartack has been No. 1 long enough now so that he is sure to have his choice of horses for the big races ahead. Some book will not be made until Hartack's choices are made. Come Derby Day, will he ride Calumet's unbeaten Kentucky Pride, on which he has already won some Florida sprints ? Will he stick with Trainer Moody Jolley's favorite Nadir? Will he risk riding Mrs. Charles U. Bay's fast little filly Idun...
