Overlooked in the emotional duel between Genuine Risk and Codex was a typical Belmont field: a collection of dangerous colts that had been lightly raced through the spring, lying in wait for the favorites to falter. Among them was Temperence Hill. The Kentucky-bred bay colt had won the Arkansas Derby, then faltered in his final Triple Crown prep races and been returned to his home stable on the Belmont backstretch to recoup. Trainer Joe Cantey decided to test his horse in the Withers Stakes, one week after the Kentucky Derby, but the colt finished second and Temperence Hill...
...contest predictably turned into a duel of advancemen. Carter's aides drafted volunteers to drive free shuttle buses to the rally site from around the city, and they blanketed Columbus with flyers reading: COME, SEE, HEAR THE PRESIDENT.

As Secretary of State, Cyrus Vance had lost his duel with National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, 52, over who was to be the chief architect of the Administration's foreign policy. Perhaps even more important, the resignation reflected the power that had accrued to the office of National Security Adviser, a post that was not even a part of the U.S. Government until...
...Black and White oarswomen face a crucial duel with Yale next weekend and the Eastern Sprints championship May 10. If they prevail they will rest atop the national rankings...
