...Jockey Turcotte remembered. Whipping righthanded, he drove Tom Rolfe straight toward the rail as if he intended to run right into Dapper Dan. At the last second before a collision. Turcotte turned his colt away. The maneuver served its purpose: for the barest instant. Dapper Dan flinched and broke stride-and in that instant Tom Rolfe won the race. Milo Valenzuela, who rode Dapper Dan, claimed foul. The stewards did their duty: they thought about it for 15 min. before they disallowed the claim.

Sales doubled annually from the start, but Investors Overseas really hit its stride in 1962 after Cornfeld launched what he calls the Fund of Funds, which is composed entirely of shares in 16 other mutual funds and management companies. By reinvesting its profits ($1,600,000 last year), Investors Overseas has expanded far beyond mutual funds. It has acquired two life-insurance companies with policies of more than $200 million...
