...favorite (at 3-5) was Ogden Phipps's four-year-old Buckpasser, Horse of the Year in 1966, winner of eleven straight stakes, and fourth biggest money winner ($1,271,224) in thoroughbred history. Buckpasser was scratched when he was found to have a quarter crack in one hoof similar to a split toenail in a human. The same kind of injury kept Buckpasser out of last year's Kentucky Derby; this time, he is expected to be out of action for at least two months...

...seven furlongs. So his Darby Dan Farm owners and Trainer Loyd Gentry decided to give him his final prep over the nine furlongs (1½ miles) of the Blue Grass Stakes, just one furlong short of the Derby distance. Though he had a slight infection in his left front hoof, the mere mention of his name was enough to reduce the field to two other horses: Rehabilitate, an also-runner, and Abe's Hope, a hard-luck colt who won the Florida Derby last month only to have the victory wiped out by a foul...
