...gleaming trophy. But last week in New South Wales, the Bathurst Turf Club announced something new: payment in kind. To the lucky horse that wins the club's big February race for fillies and mares will go one free stud service (worth $1,180) from Tulloch, a famed stallion that won $247,776 before he was retired. "We are convinced," said Club Secretary Gordon Bourke, "that the prize will cause great interest...
...Crucible, built on the Salem witch trials, deals with the conscience of a community stirred to a storm of hatred and terror by the sexual fantasies of Abigail Williams, a wanton teen-age Pilgrim ("Come to me now," she sings, "as you came before, like some great stallion wildly pantin' ").

His lineage was the best: his sire was the prolific Adios, whose offspring have earned $6,868,930 during the last five seasons; his dam was Debby Hanover, sired by Billy Direct. But Adios Butler was small and unimpressive-looking, and his owner, Horse Breeder Russel Carpenter, mayor of Chester, N.Y., figured he was a loser. Carpenter persuaded Paige West, a lean horse breeder and sulky driver from Snow Hill, Md., to try to bid the price...
