Just the week before, at Long Island's Roosevelt Raceway, the same pair were odds-on favorites when they won the $15,000 Old Country Trot.

Catherine's valet de chambre, Balthasar de Beaujoyeulx, cooked up for the occasion a lavish combination of painting, music and dancing that is now rated as the first true ballet ever performed. The show began about 10:00 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 15, 1581 in the Grand Salle of the Hôtel du Petit Bourbon in Paris, and lasted until 3:30 in the morning...
