"You know a better way to teach them the long low belly slide?" Some find it odd when a person who has trotted along with the common herd for years finally makes it big yet remains the same obliging character Those who know Pitt find it quite believable Race-trackers call him "A doll" in welcome contrast to some trainers and owners who are so uncommunicative and arrogant as to deny the truth that racing is one of the most democratic of all sports: Anybody can be champion if he can run fast enough Pitt was just 14 when he lammed out of hometown Nashville Tenn for California Either the gold rush was over or Pitt just couldn't find it For more than a decade he was groom trainer and owner on what the erudite UM Netters Bag No 58 University of Miami's tennis team notched its second victory in two days over Princeton Tuesday taking a

darkness ended match In this blatantly modern time when a balanced Gold Coast diet consists of barbecued ribs Chinese egg rolls and pizza pie and no hotel is complete without a nude statue in front no one need be surprised at the wondrous weirdness taking hold at Gulfstream Park Water-skiers guidons of the sun-worship platoon will be knocking off a damp three furlongs around the riverboat Swanee Queen in an infield lake surrounded by orchid-colored quarter-mile markers Drum majorettes blasphemy in grandpa's day will be shaking their tanned shanks in the hard eyes of bettors more interested in noses than legs And finally as a lumbering salute to the bigness of Blaze O' Glory Week a 35-year-old lady elephant named Clyde will participate in a 100-yard dash Set against such a background there is nothing so strange about the trainer of the favorite for Saturday's Florida Derby spending the week grinding out penny purses at little Sunshine Park upstate Yale's world record ace is Robert Stack who hasn't lost a race in two years and recently covered 600 yards in 1 minute 10:2 seconds the fastest the distance has ever been covered indoors He and Tom Carroll one of the best half milers in the

wire only going to 1 stand in his stall most trainers would be there clucking and tsk-tsk-ing checking every 6tray hair from toenail to topknot caring for their meal-ticket with a passion that by comparison makes mother-love the palest of sentiments A Money-Making Doll UNTIL he snagged Bally Ace last year Pitt "never had much stock just 20 or 30 cheap horses" But Bally Ache has won more than
