Fueling demand for the natural resource is water's continuing transformation from a necessity to a commercialized, globalized product. India's largest brand, Bisleri, ships water from a spring in Chateaugay, N.Y., to markets as far away as Houston. In the growing luxury market, water can cost as much as wine. Some critics of the industry see an unfortunate irony in the fact that a billion people in the world don't have access to safe drinking water. "We are not against bottled water for humanitarian reasons," says Terry Swier, president of Michigan Citizens for Water Conservation...
Carry Back won in 1961 while Cauthen snoozed on a blanket. The kid was hoisted into the saddle at the age of two, a tiny figure dwarfed but by no means cowed by his mount. When Chateaugay ran away from Never Bend and Candy Spots in the 1963 Derby, the Cauthens' three-year-old was already a familiar figure at Churchill Downs...
...what the big bay did have -and what the handicappers overlooked-were good blood lines and a trainer with roses in his past. Sired by Hail to Reason, a onetime two-year-old champion, Proud Clarion was trained by Loyd Gentry for John W. Galbreath, whose Chateaugay won the 1963 Derby, and whose Graustark was rated one of the top thoroughbreds of 1966 until he broke down before last year's Derby...
Cash for the Contract. In 1961 Baeza nursed a long shot (odds: 65-1) named Sherluck to victory in the l½-mile Belmont Stakes. In 1963, aboard a 9-1 shot, Chateaugay, he made up ten lengths to win the Kentucky Derby and realize his boyhood dream. In 1964 Baeza had a falling-out with Hooper, settled it by buying back his contract for $100,000 in cash. He soon got half of that back from one horse alone: Ogden Phipps's Buckpasser, who last year won $568,096, more money than any other two-year...
Even a multimillionaire needs a little luck. Ohio Sportsman John W. Galbreath has had his share: his Pittsburgh Pirates won a World Series in 1960 when Bill Mazeroski hit a home run in the last inning of the last game, and his Chateaugay won the 1963 Kentucky Derby at long-shot odds of 9-1. Galbreath's luck seemed to sour after he paid $1,350,000 to lease the undefeated Italian stallion Ribot for stud duty, improving the stock at his farm in Lexington, Ky. When his original lease ran out last year, about all Galbreath...
