...April 20 an unbeaten three-year-old named No Robbery was scheduled to meet a field of older horses. No Robbery had raced three times before and won them all, but against worthless horses. His opposition at Aqueduct was not spectacular, but his performance was: No robbery led from wire to wire; although he was eased up at the end, he won by ten lengths, ran the fastest mile ever clocked for a three-year-old in the history of New York racing, and missed the track record by two-fifths of a second...
...real longshot sleeper in the Derby is an unheralded three-year-old named Chateaugay: after a mediocre season as a two-year-old, he has won three straight this year over extremely lacklustre competition. A glance at his times makes Chateaugay look very good on paper. Candy spots has raced a mile-and-one-eight in 1:51.6; Never Bend's best at the route was 1:49.4; No Robbery took the Wood in 1:49.2. Chateaugay won his last race, the Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland, in a phenomenal...
Other jockeys call Steve Brooks, 41, "the psychiatrist," and swear that he talks to his horses. If he does-and Brooks does not deny it-he speaks the right language. Last week, at Florida's Gulfstream Park, he rode Johnsal, a three-year-old colt, to victory in a $3,000, six-furlong sprint. For Johnsal, it was win No. 1 in a year of trying. For Brooks, it was win No. 4,000, in 25 years of succeeding. Only Johnny Longden, Eddie Arcaro, Willie Shoemaker and Britain's Sir Gordon Richards have won more races...
...revolt in Crystal City was managed by a three-year-old Texas organization called Viva Kennedy during the presidential campaign, now named PASO (short for Political Association of Spanish-Speaking Organizations). Dedicated to the advancement of Mexican-Americans. PASO chose Crystal City as a test site for a get-out-the-Mexican-vote drive. At first the Anglos paid little attention to the PASO rallies, but as election day neared, they discovered that more than twice as many Mexicans as Anglos (1,139 to 532) had paid poll taxes to vote. In a flurry of appeasement, the city council voted...
Larry Mueller, a research engineer at the Burroughs business machines company in Detroit, has a puppet at home named Mickey. His friend John Mayer, general manager of a small Detroit electronics firm, has a three-year-old son named David. Their homes are some miles apart, but on certain completely unpredictable emergency evenings, only Mickey can make David agree to go to bed. On those evenings, John Mayer takes his son down to the basement, turns on his ham TV equipment and tunes in Mickey. Before long the puppet has persuaded the kid to hit the sack...
