...Paso had its driest spring in 63 years, while Southern California never had a colder or a wetter April. Snow fell in Reno on the last day of May, and the Indianapolis auto race was delayed by rain for the first time in 52 years. Across the mainland, temperatures ran as much as 9° below normal and, on many days, Fairbanks, Alaska, boasted warmer temperatures than Manhattan. In the nation's rain-soaked capital, the Washington Post complained editorially: "We are growing a little moldy...
Yardlings were weaker in the sprints. But Ray Hornblower, Bob Lyng, and Jon Polansky were able to score enough seconds and thirds to keep the opposition honest. The sprint relay team of Metzger, Lyng, Avault, and Hornblower ran only one really good race, but it was when it counted: against Yale...

...hard, as always, and will wind up fourth, as always. If he were a person he would go on strike. Nehoc's Bullet's only claim to fame is that he is Damascus's half-brother. Proviso's record is intriguingly mediocre. Blasting Charge and Gaylord's Feather ran one, two in a nice route on the grass against older horses last week, but that hardly qualifies them to win the country's toughest three-year-old race...
