Obeying the occult rules of what's "in," decorous little teen-aged girls from fashionable Manhattan schools must this spring climb, white-sneakered, to the top spiral of the Guggenheim Museum. Low-voiced and appreciative, they stand there taking notes for essays on an enormous painting that has an all-over pattern of gooey brown and a row of real, 3-in. buttons running down the middle.

It was a bad day all around for Guggenheim. Candy Spots won by a half-length, and Never Bend's Jockey Ycaza was grounded for 60 days for a "completely unwarranted" claim of foul.
