...after liberating North Moldavia, his troops crossed Poland and became the first Russians to reach the Elbe, where his 58th Guards Division linked up with the U.S. 69th Division. Here Konev met General Bradley, presented him with a Cossack charger (the name Konev is derived from kon, a stallion...
...called The Last of the Old-Time Shooting Sheriffs, was a witty debunking of the classic western with its quick-drawing, deadshot badmen and goodmen. The veteran sheriff of the title, played with creaking excellence by Russ Simpson, was a gun slinger who preferred a donkey to a spirited stallion, avoided trouble when he could, and in a gun battle, always got his man by holding onto his revolver with both hands while lie fired. Last week's show, Trouble on the Double, was a forced and unfunny farce about an expectant father, and Sponsor Studebaker-Packard would have...
...Paris, Ky., on the day the Gallant Fox Memorial Handicap was being run at Jamaica, Belair Stud's great bay stallion Gallant Fox died at the age of 27.

In some racing circles, there is talk that greys are unlucky and poor stayers, but that has no foundation in the records. For a time, however, the grey line almost died out of racing. The line was resuscitated by a French grey named Le Sancy foaled in 1884. Le Sancy's blood passed down to a powerful procreator named Roi Herode...
