Room 1415, the Presidential Suite, is occupied by Michael Rennie and Merle Oberon, the Duke and Duchess of Croydon, who have a bloody mess on their hands. The duke, a bit of a dipso, kills a small boy while driving drunk.

Sure enough, Blazing Sky came breezing across to take it by four lengths. "Ah!" cried the Duchess of Norfolk, 50, wife of the realm's premier duke. "How I like Newbury!" Indeed, Newbury had been very kind to her. On a wager of 70?, her ladyship collected $7,804.34, the tote jackpot, by backing the winners in all six races...
