...other hand, he feels obliged to describe what a stud he is: "In the weekday summer afternoons they would often make love in his parents' bed. Fiona would actually weep in frustration when he fell asleep after reaching his own climax." Is he as sensitive and profound an artist as his songs would suggest, or is he really just out for some action...
...These and other images begin as clues, holes in the social fabric, and are then worked up, gradually, into emblems. The elliptical lenses of the nursemaid's spectacles, for example, turn into bigger ellipses, without a face behind them; like punctuation marks commanding one to focus and look, they stud the painting of the '70s. Muybridge's wrestlers become Bacon's signs for sexual battle. But they shed their documentary purpose, and in doing so open the way to another discourse of figures. When impelled by strong emotion -- as in the Triptych May-June 1973, which commemorates the suicide...

The really big money lies in breeding; the Derby's approximately $300,000 winning payoff is peanuts compared to the potential return for the winner in stud fees and offspring sales. Syndications (partnerships behind a horse's stud results) for top stallions can run for $40 million and more. The Derby winner, no matter how fast, is almost invariably retired immediately after the other Triple Crown races, the Belmont and the Preakness. He then spends the rest...
