Round Table inherited his speed from his dam, an English mare with a fast past named Knight's Daughter, and his endurance from his sire, the rugged. Irish-bred Princequillo. Foaled on the Kentucky farm of A. B. ("Bull'') Hancock, Round Table was running as a three-year-old in 1957 when he caught the fancy of his present owner. A younger brother of Oklahoma's Senator Robert Kerr, with the same family paunch and financial punch (oil, uranium), Travis Kerr, 56, suspected that Round Table might become the great horse he needed for the mildly...

But both clowns kept their minds on their work: Nadir finished an easy two lengths in front...
Critics Don't Buy. Cole lives handsomely with his wife Marie and two daughters in an $85,000, English-style home in Los Angeles' posh Hancock Park. (When a lawyer for nearby property owners told him bluntly in 1948 that "we don't want any undesirable people coming into this neighborhood," he replied: "Neither do I. If I see anybody undesirable coming in here, I'll be the first to complain.") Though polished and well-mannered, he has a flair for the astringent crack.
