...sense, it is a family fight; both horses are grandsons of Bold Ruler, a famous front runner whose offspring have carried that trait. Both have canny jockeys: Baeza, who sits in the saddle like an emperor, and Angel Cordero, New York's top rider in 1975. Of the two, Baeza is considered better at saying whoa to a speed horse. Jolley and Bold Forbes' trainer, Laz Barrera, will each have to guess the tactics of the other before the Derby begins and decide upon his own. Both jockeys will then have to make split-second decisions...
Well, I can see you are an angel...
Virgil Thomson: Music for the Films (Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Neville Marriner, conductor; Angel; $6.98). Virgil Thomson is best known for his operas Four Saints in Three Acts and The Mother of Us All. Among America's serious composers, however, he pioneered the art of writing music for films with his scores for a pair of Department of Agriculture documentaries.

These two scores were Aaron Copland...

...Angel Romero: Classical Virtuoso Masterworks for Guitar (Angel; $6.98); Spanish Virtuoso Romantic Music for Guitar (Angel; $6.98). At 29, Romero belongs to the new generation of guitar virtuosos. But the Spanish-born musician is no stranger to the concert hall; along with Brothers Celin and Pepe, Angel has been appearing with Papa Celedonio Romero's family quartet since he was six. Angel's Spanish guitar music vibrates with the heroic digital work and high coloration associated with the repertory. He peels off Tarrega's Chopinesque Estudio Brillante in a fiery burst of romanticism. He can be soft...
