...became the subject of nary a wry comment. Perceptive listeners also noted that she sang bass during the harmony while the males took over the higher octaves in falsetto. Rhythm guitar was played by a giant of a man with an Apostle's beard, hollow eyes, and a swollen voice. His guitar, slung low and hanging horizontal at fly level gave soul to his songs...
...Dancer's Image receive a dose of the painkiller Butazolidin too few hours before the Derby? The colt suffers from chronically sore and swollen ankles, and Cavalaris admitted giving him the anti-inflammatory analgesic on Sunday, 144 hours before the race. The drug was actually administered by a veterinarian, Dr. Alex Harthill, who turns out to be something of a controversial figure.

In 1954, he was suspended...

"And it never occurs to her," says Portnoy, "if I'm her lover, who is he, the shmegeggy she lives with...
...grey colt was a son of the great Native Dancer, but he had chronically "mushy" (swollen) ankles, and it seemed he might never get to the races. So Owner Peter Fuller decided to get rid of him. He changed the horse's name from A.T.'s Image (after Fuller's father, former Massachusetts Governor A. T. Fuller) to Dancer's Image, and put him up for auction. The bidding reached $25,000, stopped-and, just as the gavel was about to fall, Fuller had a change of heart. After bidding $26,000 himself, he paid...
