His pace on the off-track was 5 3/5 seconds slower than Secretariat's stakes record, but the win was electric in its ease: Slew loped over the 1½-mile course as if he were putting in a leisurely workout. He broke cleanly from the gate, and was headed only for a few seconds as the field sorted itself out for the grueling Belmont distance.

The speed of the sport produces maximum exercise in minimum time; tennis players report a more vigorous workout in 45 minutes of racquetball than in several hours of tennis. So when commercial developers built the first racquetball clubs in suburban Chicago and Minneapolis four years ago, tennis players came streaming in from the cold. Today there are 510 court clubs-as distinguished from the old handball haunts-and more are under construction, mostly in the Midwest and the West; high real estate costs have limited development in the East...
