There, in recent seasons, he had developed Nashua and, most recently, Bold Ruler, 1957's horse of the year. Nashua's first get, frisky two-year-olds, are training now at Hialeah side by side with those of Swaps, the great California horse that beat Nashua in the 1955 Kentucky Derby. But Mr. Fitz last week had eyes only for the Wheatley Stable's three-year-old Progressing, a capricious colt getting ready...
