When the shiny horn tootled First Call, only three thoroughbreds trotted to the post: that sprinting fool, Bold Ruler, back in shape after a bout with heart trouble; the handsome bay, Round Table, riding high on an eleven-straight winning string; and the controversial colt, Gallant Man, who lost the Derby by a dirty nose. Between them they had already earned nearly $1,500,000; now they were after a piddling $82,350. But the money didn't matter.

On the basis of Playhouse 90's second-season opening, The Death of Manolete, it would be hard for most viewers to understand why all the fuss about one bullfighter.
