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. Nobody, including Dancer, gave much thought to the chances of Egyptian Candor, owned by Stanley's wife Rachel, trained by Stanley and driven by Del Cameron, an old family friend. After...
...years. Though desalinization is only a partial answer to the problem of a nation whose water demand is expected to almost double by 1980, it is a challenge that has aroused businessmen, scientists and the Government. Many companies are working on new ideas in the field, including Westinghouse Electric, Colt Industries and Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton. The Interior Department's Office of Saline Water optimistically predicts that, in 35 years, between 7% and 10% of the nation's fresh water will come from...
...great horse, but he still lost a race. Native Dancer was also beaten once, and Kelso now loses almost as often as he wins. A ticket on Bret Hanover, though, is more like a U.S. Treasury bond than a bet.

...Hail to All: the $147,900 Belmont Stakes, last and longest (at H mi.) of the Triple Crown races for three-year-olds; at New York's Aqueduct track. Ridden by Johnny Sellers and third choice of the bettors at 5-2, Mrs. Ben Cohen's plucky colt, born with a slightly deformed rear leg, rallied from fourth place in the stretch to beat Preakness Winner Tom Rolfe by a narrow neck...
...million, Bret owes his name to the fact that he was bred by Pennsylvania's Hanover Shoe Farms, which is owned by the board chairman of Hanover Shoe Co., and has been producing champions for 39 years. A Cleveland coal broker, Richard Downing, paid $50,000 for the colt at a yearling sale in 1963, turned him over to Trainer Ervin, who was on the verge of retiring after more than 5,500 victories on the track. Ervin took the budding pacer for a spin, and changed his plans...
