Forward Pass is a throwback to the good old days. A rangy bay with tremendous early speed, he won last March's $134,000 Florida Derby, followed that up with a smashing five-length victory in last week...

Mrs. Markey could also auction off some land. Calumet's 846 acres of rolling Kentucky bluegrass are worth some $3,500,000-and that's not even counting the 18-room manor house, 36 outbuildings and 23 miles of white oak fences. The estate was inherited from his family...
