...Vichy. Arkansas does have Mountain Valley Water, which we've been delivering to Kelso through his five "horse of the year" campaigns and right to this minute. Other thoroughbred drinkers include Bold Ruler, Sword Dancer, Nashua, Round Table, Gallant Man, and, going back, Gallant Fox, Bimelech, Challedon, Bubbling Over, Black Toney, Johnstown and Omaha. Kelso has consumed more Mountain Valley than any other living being...
...total of only 20 starts, Kelso has earned $707,155-an average of $30,745 for every mile he has raced. He was 1960's Horse of the Year, seems certain to become the third horse to win that honor two years in a row (the others: Whirlaway, Challedon).

...Challedon to Champagne. Before the Gold Cup race last fortnight, Frenchy told his jockey: "If she is going to lose, I want her to lose running my way." The lone filly in a field of 13, Happy Issue was several lengths behind in the early running, but closed fast-Frenchy's way-to break the mile-and-a-quarter Hollywood Park track record set by Challedon in 1940, and boost her earnings for the year...
