Ugly Colt. The horse that is expected to be hot on those well-turned hoofs is Top Knight, a 2-to-l contender who is shorter on looks but longer on earnings. Last season's top two-year-old, he has won seven times in 13 starts for total winnings of $511,921.

George C. Scott, never my favorite actor, turns in a magnificent performance, as does Shirley Knight as his estranged wife...
...Pursue. One of the greatest sportsmen of all time was a medieval French knight named Gaston Phebus, Comte de Foix, who cut a dashing figure in the 14th century with his white armor and white charger. Renowned not only as a huntsman but as a lover, a poet and a diplomat, Gaston kept a stable of 600 riding horses, hundreds of stag, buck and boar hounds, and the fastest fleet of greyhounds in medieval Europe. The chase in the Middle Ages was an immensely sophisticated pursuit. Knowing better than any man of his day how it should be pursued, Gaston...
