Venezuelan horses showed their heels to brilliant seven-nation field in $65,000 International at Laurel, Md. as Dr. Carlos Vogeler Rincones' spirited 4-year-old bay colt El Chama waged desperate stretch duel with Prendase, came out on top by head. Excited Jockey Raul Bustamante thrilled (in Spanish): "I won a lucky race. I just stayed on the rail...and the caballo did the rest." (see page 60.)

Misty Morn, Wheatley Stable's fine-striding miss, started slowly, moved up from last to first under firm urging of Jockey Sidney Cole, romped to easy victory in record-breaking 2:42 2/5 for mile and five furlongs while winning $85,550 Gallant Fox Handicap at Jamaica, N.Y., made firm bid for 3-year-old filly honors.

Beaten Lopes' reaction: "Saddler will kill him."

Commissioner Julius Helfand moved nearer showdown in drawn-out investigation of New York Boxing Managers' Guild. Charley Johnston, president of International Boxing Guild, ordered New York muscle-trusters to turn over books as requested, but Helfand, still miffed at brazen flouting of authority by BMG brass, subpoenaed Johnston to appear before New York State Commission, Nov. 18, sardonically commented: "Evidently, he [Johnston] believes he has more power than the commission and perhaps with his aid we can progress with the investigation."
