...could offer. Eventually, he lost to Columbia, the 1958 America's Cup champion, and then, by a close 43 sec., to Nefertiti, the highly touted newcomer designed by Marblehead Sailmaker Ted Hood. But before that he had humbled Columbia once, Easterner twice, and soundly trounced Nefertiti by 5 min...
...hooked into an angler's dream: a huge blue marlin with a bill like a baseball bat and a temperament to match. In the first few seconds the leaping, head-shaking fish ripped off 400 yds. of 130-lb. test line; it took another 1 hr. 20 min. to get the giant blue into the boat.

...close to win by a gallant 2½ lengths. A well-beaten sixth: Mrs. Richard C. du Pont's five-year-old gelding Kelso, 1961's Horse of the Year and the 3-to-5 favorite at post time. Carry Back ran the mile in 1 min. 33 3/5 sec.-tying the track record. His $72,735 winner's purse boosted his life time earnings to $1,009,153, made him the fourth million-dollar horse (the others: Round Table, Nashua, Citation) in racing history...
