People's Champ. Breaking from the No. 7 post position, Cañonero surprised the chalk players by taking the lead at the clubhouse turn and holding it for more than a mile. Avila, who rode high in the irons trying to conserve his mount, said later: "I just couldn't hold him back." Then rounding the final turn, the challengers came on. Pass Catcher, a 30-to-l shot, broke through and battled Jim French to the wire to win by three-fourths of a length. A tired Cañonero faded to fourth behind Bold Reason...
