Says Aqueduct Steward Warren Mehrtens, a former jockey who rode Assault to the Triple Crown in 1946, "Angel knows the characteristics of his horse as well as the others in the race.

The pair are living in separate homes-only it happens that Barbara ("Bootsie") Mandel, 53, is occupying the 54-room Governor's mansion in Annapolis while Marvin has taken refuge in a five-room bachelor pad two miles away.
