...been a mean year at Claiborne. The master of the farm, Seth Hancock, was also the main syndicator of Devil's Bag, thought to be a superhorse last year when a $36 million breeding future was arranged. Following lame three-year-old performances, he was actually declared slightly lame and retired to stud at Claiborne. In Trainer Woody Stephens' barn and heart, Swale started the year a second-stringer. What Swale's worth as a stallion might have been and how much insurance covered him are included in the mystery.

Donald Duck is having a devil of a time making his nephews behave. The little brats stick him in the rear end, shoot him with arrows and tie him to a stake. Classic Walt Disney comedy, right?
