| Description: | The immortal Kelso finally wins the international - a race that has seen him invariably run second. Considered one of the greatest horses of all times, Kelso is the financial and sentimental favorite with the crowd at Laurel, Md., as he turns on the steam in the backstretch to make his famous run for home. The seven-year-old champion adds $90,000 to his earnings to bring his take-home pay (well, less taxes) to more than $1,800,00. Kelso is due to be retired this year. Wide angle shot of the throngs in attendance at the race track. Trainer walking the horse to the gate, jockey is on the back of the horse. Trainer walking Kelso with jockey on the back. Fans, one man looking through binoculars. The horses take off and Jumbo is in the lead and Kelso is running in second place. A quick shot of an older man looking through binoculars and his friend standing next to him is wearing a beret. The sports fans. Horses are spinning around the bend passing up Gumbo at the rail.
