...higher brackets. Among Boston's Brahmins, what counts most is family history, civic activities and cultural connections. In Kansas City's gilded Mission Hills section, it is country clubs and friends: the closer one can get to "the local and regional-legend rich" - Royals Owner Ewing Kauffman, Hallmark Cards Founder Joyce Hall and the bank-owning Kempers - the higher one's esteem...

The shorter course (1/16 of a mile less than the Derby and 5/16 of a mile less than the Belmont Stakes) demands the hot speed that is the first hallmark of the breed. A topflight field hurtling around Pimlico's tight turns leaves no margin for error by a jockey: fail to find position by a few feet, miscalculate the pace by a tick of the clock, and the winner streaks to the wire before ground can be made...
