The American SetA Name Shared With the Basketball World, Entered in the Breeders' Futurity
A horse named Coach Pope has been entered in the Breeders' Futurity, which puts a basketball name in the entry box of one of the fall's important tests. The race runs on dirt, not hardwood, but the name will make readers who follow both sports look twice. Before the field goes into the gate, the program may make it look as though there is more than one Coach Pope in the race. Once it starts, only the one with four legs counts.
