Nicknamed "the Ham" because he likes to pose for pictures, the copper-toned colt impresses everybody with his appearance as well as his record. His breeder, Leslie Combs II of Spendrift Farm in Lexington, Ky., raves: "He has looks. He has speed. He has courage. And, most important, he has done everything right from the very start."

As Mosher flexed his arms, the monster climbed a stack of heavy timbers to pose like a circus elephant with one foreleg held in the air. A flick of Mosher's wrist swung a 6½-ft. metal leg in an arc and sent the timbers flying. Another flick and the foreleg playfully kicked sand at watching newsmen...
