...jockey through the entire race, horse and people Owner George Steinbrenner saw his Eternal Prince come in twelfth at Churchill Downs. To be precise, Steinbrenner holds the deed on 37 1/2% of the colt, presumably the part that favors him. At one time he owned the whole animal--fetlock, stock and barrel--but auctioned it off for $17,500 to a used-car dealer from Richmond.

For the better part of an hour, worried Norma played nursemaid (ice baths, salve, liniment and heavy wrappings) to Country Boy's bruised left fetlock. Such concern was only common sense to Norma: "After all, the horse is 60% of my success."
