His time was poor (1:49 2/5% for the 1⅛% mile) and his margin a mere 1½ lengths over a 148-to-l shot named Certain Roman, primarily because he fought furiously against Jockey Braulio Baeza's efforts to slow him in the backstretch.

Choreographer Black added other motifs one by one--slow-motion rolling, runner's ready position, broad glissades--and bumped one into the next in various combinations.
