Give An A-plus To Bee Bee Bee

Last winter, when Chicagoan William Miller, a former Illinois racing commissioner, was involved in a racetrack scandal, he packaged his 20 horses in training and sold the lot to Farish. Included in the group was Bee Bee Bee, a full brother to Abe's Hope, who had won five of nine races and $45,602 as a 2-year-old. Carroll soon noticed that the son of Better Bee was not a good shipper and decided not to rush him to the Kentucky Derby. "I'm not even sure," he said after the Preakness, "if we'll get to the Belmont. It's a long season, and we are in no great hurry."

As the rains came on again Preakness night, Mrs. Tweedy and her lawyer husband Jack were asked the obvious question, "Are you sorry now you didn't start an entry?" Mrs. Tweedy smiled. "You know," she said quietly, "I'm running the race over and over in my mind, and all I can see this time, as they turn for home is...Upper Case...Upper Case...Upper Case."
