...once-fevered ankle was ice cold and sound as a dollar. The trouble was that during his long wait on the shelf, Citation had developed a brood mare's belly, the neck of a bull and a rump like the back of a taxicab. Around the barn, the standing joke is that the "big horse" must have been eating from the same trough with Jake Hizar, the fat (264-lb.) foreman.

Critics found his new five-movement work both a little flat and a little obvious-Jacob dancing unimaginatively with Rachel, wrestling too literally with the dark angel. The verdict: back to the woodshed...
