With a whoosh of Royal Canadian Air Force jets streaking across the sky and a blaring salute from the 100-man honor guard below, Toronto this week will begin celebrating its sparkling new city hall. Before the festivities are over, there will be fireworks, folk dancing in the plaza, a symphonic rendition of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, and a Toronto a go-go with no fewer than six rock 'n' roll bands. Such civic fanfare is unusual even in fast-growing Toronto. But after eight years of waiting and the expenditure of more than $30 million, Torontonians...

Owned by Houston Oilman K. D. Owen, trained by Stanley, and beaten only once in 28 starts, the chocolate-colored three-year-old colt had won more money ($280,566) than any other Hambletonian contestant in history. The only real competition was expected to come from a rawboned Canadian filly named Armbro Flight, who was riding an even longer winning streak: 22 straight, but mostly against weaker horses.
