...earnings to $14,060. But what the big bay did have -and what the handicappers overlooked-were good blood lines and a trainer with roses in his past. Sired by Hail to Reason, a onetime two-year-old champion, Proud Clarion was trained by Loyd Gentry for John W. Galbreath, whose Chateaugay won the 1963 Derby, and whose Graustark was rated one of the top thoroughbreds of 1966 until he broke down before last year's Derby...
Settling into Stride. For a jockey, Gentry and Galbreath eventually signed Bobby Ussery, 32, winner of more than 3,000 races in a 16-year career and veteran of four previous Derby tries.

Baeza is practicing for the Derby, Preakness and Belmont by winning just about everything else in sight. Last month he became the first jockey ever to win five races in one day at Hialeah. Twice, he has won four in a day; six times, he has won three. Last week, with ten days still left of Hialeah's 40-day meeting, Baeza had already...
Guided by Jockey Braulio Baeza, Graustark breezed to a five-length victory. Owner Galbreath could undoubtedly recoup his $1,350,000 investment by selling Graustark right...
