...Whitney's smallish colt Tompion is an 8-to-5 Derby choice. At Keeneland's Blue Grass Stakes last week, Tompion ran away from three other hopefuls, won his fourth straight major-stakes victory to push his earnings to $315,000. Tompion's bloodlines-by Tom Fool out of Sunlight, a Count Fleet mare-cannot be improved upon. Tom Fool was recently voted the outstanding horse of the 1950s, has already sired one Derby winner, Calumet Farm's Tim Tarn (1958). For C. V.

She's kind of a plain Jane. Well, she's waiting for the boy coming down the gravel road. And she's going to get him." Simple? Cloar's scenes-a traveler silhouetted starkly against the sky, three farmers talking hopefully of the spring, two men wandering down a ghostly moonlit road past a giant sign saying, JESUS SAVES-happen...
