...playful, 950-lb. colt that cost Trainer-Owner (with his wife) Jack Price only $400 in stud fees, Carry Back already has earned $739,068-more than any other horse his age in racing history. He has won at nearly every distance from three furlongs to a mile and three-sixteenths, on every kind of track, under every conceivable condition except snow. He took the Florida Derby in the mud, the Garden State Stakes in slop, the Kentucky Derby on an offtrack, and the Preakness on a fast, cuppy (i.e., crumbly) surface. Although he holds the five-furlong track record...
...case of Dale ("Cowboy") Morris, 36, serving a twelve-year sentence for manslaughter. In Parchman, Morris had behaved himself and become a trusty; he also displayed considerable interest in furthering Warden Jones's reform program. Back at Fort Smith, Ark., he told Jones, he owned a fine stud horse whose services he would gladly contribute to Parchman's animal farm. With written permission from Governor Barnett, Jones sent Morris, along with two guards, off to fetch the horse. The guards and the horse came back. Morris didn't, and not until last week was he captured...

His sire, Saggy, was an undistinguished racer whose stud fee was only $400 and whose sole claim to fame was that he had once beaten Citation. His dam, Joppy, never won at all, and sold for $300-$150 in cash, the rest an unpaid $150 board bill. Yet, as he paraded to the post for the 87th Kentucky Derby last week, Carry Back already had earned $492,368, was up on the tote board...
Morton won his first National in 1933, came to earn $2,400 for handling a winning dog in a trial, developed champions that made as much as $14,000 in stud fees at $200 a pairing. By 1948 Morton and his wife Sibyl had saved up enough money to buy a 7,500-acre cotton and cattle plantation outside of Selma...
...full failure of our society can be seen in your article on Lerner and Loewe. What standards have we set that men who have made their mark are forced or compelled as peasant boys to boast, to proclaim their sexual prowess? Have we reached a state where stud ability has become the endorsement of a successful career...
