The finals weekend pressure will
be doubly tough for seven members
of Texas A&M’s ultimate Frisbee
club, Ultamu, when they represent
the club at the Collegiate Regionals
Tournament in Austin May 7-8.
Club president Terry Strickland,
a junior petroleum engineering ma
jor from Redding, Calif., said the
conflict with finals made it hard to
find people to go and compete. He
said the 20-member club will be bet
ter represented at a July 4 competi
tion in Boulder, Colorado, where
about 20 teams will play.

Fielding a competitive ultimate
team of students is difficult because
of time conflicts, Strickland said.
The A&M club’s chief rival, the Aus
tin Bunnies, practices all week just to
play on the weekend, he saidf. The
Bunnies also have players from cities
across the state who travel to tourna

Calumet Farm does not have a
Derby starter, and the Affirmed
team of trainer Laz Barrera and
jockey Steve Cauthen, who in 1978
was an 18-year-old riding phenom,
are not here.
“My name is Lazzaro “Affirmed”
Barrera,” the trainer has said. “He’s
the best horse there ever was.”
“It was one of great rivalries in the
sport,” Cauthen told The Associated
Press in England. “I’m proud to
have been a part of it.”
Cauthen has been riding in Brit
ain since 1979 and has been national
champion there three times.
Affirmed and Alydar hooked up
six times as 2-year-olds, with Af
firmed winning four of them and
the 2-year-championship. Their first
meeting of 1978 was in the Derby,
which launched probably the most
exciting three-race duel in the
sport’s history.
In the summer of 1977 when the
rivalry was only two or three races
old, Barrera realized how good Af
firmed could be. He also realized
how dangerous an opponent Af
firmed was going to be, and he told
Wolfson.
Wolfson tried unsuccessfully
through Leslie Combs, then owner
of Spendthrift Farm, to buy Alydar
from the late Admiral and Mrs.
Gene Markey, the owners of Calu
met Farm.
Affirmed won his first four races
as 3-year-old in California, including
the Santa Anita and Hollywood Der
by s.
Alydar won his first three starts,
including the Flamingo and Florida
Derby, then prepped for the Derby
with a monster performance in the
Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland. He
was 11 lengths back with five-eighths
of a mile to go and won by 13.
“Going into the Derby I knew the
horse to beat was Affirmed, and he
