...Greentree owners have done themselves proud before: they once had a colt named Night Vision, who was the offspring of Eight Thirty and Knothole. But long acknowledged as the most adroit namesman in racing is Millionaire Sportsman Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, 55, whose past coups include Crashing Bore (by Social Climber, out of Stumbling Block), Age of Consent (by My Request-Novice) and Social Outcast (by Shut Out-Pansy). And when Vanderbilt in 1949 bred a stallion named Polynesian to a mare named Geisha, he came up with a name that will be remembered as long as horse races...
...luck o' the Irish must have rubbed off on Raymond Guest, 60, retiring this month after three years as U.S. Ambassador to Ireland. Last September, Guest bet $2,400 at odds of 100 to 1 with London Bookie William Hill that his then unproven two-year-old colt, Sir Ivor, would win or place in this year's English Derby. Sir Ivor then won three consecutive starts, and last week-by now an odds-on favorite -he ran away from a field of twelve other horses to win the English Derby by 1 ½ lengths...
...Youth is fulminating all over the landscape, in walkouts, sit-ins, and other forms of exhibitionism. Seventy-five years ago, I inspired a walkout and was temporarily suspended. There has been no psychological change in youth in these 75 years. I know-I have lived with them. The colt in the pasture sometimes kicks a hole in the fence. He will probably mature into a very fine horse. If he is to be trained it sometimes requires a tight rein and sometimes a flip of the whip on the buttocks. Most of these youngsters of ours will mature into substantial...

...Dancer's Image receive a dose of the painkiller Butazolidin too few hours before the Derby? The colt suffers from chronically sore and swollen ankles, and Cavalaris admitted giving him the anti-inflammatory analgesic on Sunday, 144 hours before the race. The drug was actually administered by a veterinarian, Dr. Alex Harthill, who turns out to be something of a controversial figure. Although he is known as "the Derby Vet" for treating such former winners of the race as Carry Back, Northern Dancer and Lucky Debonair, Harthill has twice been implicated in drugging scandals. In 1954, he was suspended...
