...Pure Defense." In 1944 Jackie was sent off to Miss Porter's School in Farmington, Conn.-accompanied by Danseuse, her mare. One summer she made the grand tour of Europe with three other girls, a chaperone from Holton-Arms and a drip-dry wardrobe. ("We would spend all night washing.") She had a keen and retentive mind, effortlessly stayed in the top tier of her classes.

Tompion's bloodlines-by Tom Fool out of Sunlight, a Count Fleet mare-cannot be improved upon. Tom Fool was recently voted the outstanding horse of the 1950s, has already sired one Derby winner, Calumet Farm's Tim Tarn (1958). For C. V. Whitney, a Derby victory would be a long time in the making; in ten Derbys, he has entered 13 horses, never been...
