...First there was Mary Hecht's Sadair, which won more money ($498,217) last year than any two-year-old in history; two months ago in Florida, Sadair cracked a bone in his foot. Then there was Bold Lad, brightest star in Mrs. Henry Carnegie Phipps's Wheatley Stable, the top money-winning stable in the U.S. ($1,073,572 in 1964). A son of Bold Ruler, "the fastest horse in the world up to nine furlongs," Bold Lad seemed like a chip off the old block when he won six stakes last year. He was, in more...
