...worst didn't have a chance to happen. The diathermic duo was in fourth place, six lengths behind such high-caliber swifties as Spy Song and Coaltown (a stablemate), when suddenly, as if stung by bees, Citation shot ahead. In one brief explosive burst he catapulted past the leaders. Said Arcaro later: "I never hit him. I never even clucked to him.
