Mint juleps and "My Old Kentucky Home" would jar strangely with the Late Formica decor of the Wonderland clubhouse, and the line of Thoroughbred greats stretching from Man O' War to Kelso and Buckpasser has no parallel among the almost anonymous canine racers...
...Damascus has any flaws, they are the kind that a shrewd trainer and top jockey can handle. Unlike Kelso, who was practically a pet around the stable, Damascus has a high-strung, rankish personality that sometimes loses races. Favored at 17-10 odds in the Kentucky Derby, he was already sweating before the start, folded in the stretch, and wound up third.

Last year Buckpasser set a world record of 1 min. 32 sec. for the mile, and ran away with the voting for Horse of the Year, a title he should retain in 1967 barring reinjury...
...South during the Reconstruction era?and both were puppet politicians. The first, an itinerant preacher named Hiram Rhodes Revels, was picked in 1870 by the Mississippi legislature, then dominated by carpetbaggers and Negroes, to fill the Senate seat once occupied by Confederate President Jefferson Davis. The other was Blanche Kelso Bruce, an imposing mulatto, who was sent to the Senate in 1875, also from Mississippi...
