...life mold of Gerald Murphy hardly seemed likely to form an artist. Andover-prepped, Yale-educated, Skull and Bones-tapped, Murphy was elected the best-dressed man in the class of 1911.

Like every other jockey, Shoemaker has heard that story at least a dozen times, and to test his own judgment, he flew into Lexington last week to ride Hill Rise for the first time in the Forerunner Purse, a Derby tune-up. It was not much of a race...
...other Crimson entrant will be junior diver Dan Mahoney. Mahoney finished fourth in the Eastern tournament when he fell off the board on his next-to-last attempt and scored no points for the effort. He had held an almost insurmountable 40-point lead going into the fateful dive...
