If he's behind a horse that he knows tends to drift outside down the stretch, he knows the inside is open to him." Cordero also possesses a fine sense of timing. Steward Nathaniel Hyland admires the way Cordero "paces horses to save their speed for the end." After riding one long shot to victory from...

...wife of 32 years. The pair are living in separate homes-only it happens that Barbara ("Bootsie") Mandel, 53, is occupying the 54-room Governor's mansion in Annapolis while Marvin has taken refuge in a five-room bachelor pad two miles away. Mandel was once considered a shoo-in for re-election in 1974; if his marital standoff continues, he may face stiff competition from politicians who are living-however uneasily-with their wives...
