Today, we’ll take a special sidetrip concentrating on two series of the late 50’s and early 60’s which, while not nominally starring robots, obtained a reputation for regularly filling the screen with them. These would be Joe Oriolo’s revival of Felix the Cat, and Hanna-Barbera’s first family of the future, The Jetsons. Each series has enough to offer to merit detailed review.

Given an almost three-month layoff by trainer Bob Baffert following a second-place showing in the Awesome Again Stakes at Santa Anita on Oct. 1, Country Grammer beat Stilleto Boy by 4½ lengths while running the mile and a sixteenth in 1:43.45 as the 3-5 favorite.
