...mile Donn Handicap, by three widening lengths; at Florida's Gulfstream Park. Conceding anywhere from 2 to 19 Ibs. to his five rivals, including Rex Ellsworth's Candy Spots and Ernest Woods's Lt. Stevens, Gun Bow ran just as a 7-10 favorite should-leading from wire to wire, romping to an easy victory worth...
...Hutcheson Stakes at Florida's Gulfstream Park is a race for three-year-olds-a fact that qualifies it, technically, as a stepping stone for the Kentucky Derby. But the $10,900 winner's purse attracts few really promising horses. "If you enter a lot of little races, you're just spinning your wheels," says Calumet Farm's Trainer Jimmy Jones. "You can't run a racing stable on nickel-and-dime pots." And yet, there in the winner's circle, his pudgy face twisted into a gleeful grin, stood Jimmy Jones with...
...Apollo simulators, Link has won $39 million in new orders in the past twelve months, including a $1,300,000 award to build the computer for the Gemini simulator and $3,500,000 for a general-purpose space-flight simulator. Link also builds flight simulators for the Grumman Gulfstream, the Lockheed Electra, the Convair 880, the DC-8 and Boeing's 707, 720 and 727 jets. This week Link is working out the final details of a contract to build two simulators for a new NATO antisubmarine patrol plane, the turboprop Atlantique...
Other jockeys call Steve Brooks, 41, "the psychiatrist," and swear that he talks to his horses. If he does-and Brooks does not deny it-he speaks the right language. Last week, at Florida's Gulfstream Park, he rode Johnsal, a three-year-old colt, to victory in a $3,000, six-furlong sprint. For Johnsal, it was win No. 1 in a year of trying. For Brooks, it was win No. 4,000, in 25 years of succeeding. Only Johnny Longden, Eddie Arcaro, Willie Shoemaker and Britain's Sir Gordon Richards have won more races...
...track, under every conceivable condition except snow. He took the Florida Derby in the mud, the Garden State Stakes in slop, the Kentucky Derby on an offtrack, and the Preakness on a fast, cuppy (i.e., crumbly) surface. Although he holds the five-furlong track record at Florida's Gulfstream Park, Carry Back still has not shown how fast he can really run. Says Owner Price: "He has a tremendous amount of speed if he wants to use it. But he runs his own race-and I don't care how he wins, as long as he wins...
