...touch the tips of his fingers together, point them at the sky and moan: "I am in the world for 64 years, and only in the last five years have these things happened to me!" Other times he will be more philosophical: "I know it's my fault. It was impossible for me to foresee these things." He has only three ambitions now. One is to move closer to his children in Palo Alto, Calif. The second is to visit once more his birthplace and the graves of his parents in Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily, home of so many...

Such a hearing is "not accusatory," and if no evidence of criminality is found, no further proceeding need follow.

Never better than fifth the entire race, the horse finished sixth, thirteen lengths in arrears. The loss was not the jockey's fault as the comment was--"well placed, tired." Last week the horse won by twelve lengths against a dismal Rockingham Park field. This Saturday Coup Landing faces another lackluster array of local talent with the exception of the Eddie Anspach trained Red's Copy who would show a touch of class in beating...
