...post time, the odds against Quadrangle were 13 to 2. Jockey Manuel Ycaza thought that was pretty funny. "This is a free-running colt," he said. "He can beat any horse in the country." As if to prove it, he urged Quadrangle into the lead at the start, then eased up. Other horses pounded past: California's Hill Rise (2 to 1) and long-shot Orientalist (42 to 1) dueled for the lead; Quadrangle slipped back to fourth, and Northern Dancer was running fifth. Suddenly, Orientalist began to bear out from the rail. "I saw that big hole," said...
...some doubt about his ability to go the 1¼-mile Derby distance-but he has still won ten out of 13 races, and his new rider, Bill Hartack, is an old hand at winning the Kentucky Derby (three times in the last seven years). Panamanian Jockey Manuel Ycaza, who won the mount on The Scoundrel when Shoe maker begged off, was not about to concede either. And before the week was out, Eastern horsemen were singing the praises of Paul Mellon's Quadrangle, who ran off with the $75,000 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct...
Born. To Carlos Manuel de Ycaza, 25, terrible-tempered Panama-born jockey who, despite 458 days spent on the ground in rough-riding suspensions since 1957, has won more than $8,000,000 worth of purses, and Linda Bement Ycaza, 21, Miss Universe of 1960, a native of Salt Lake City: their first child, a son; in Manhattan...
...next Eddie Arcaro will probably speak Spanish better than English. His name will be something like Baeza or Ycaza or Valenzuela, and he will grimace when gringo railbirds make it "Bazza," or "Yacca Zacca," or "Vaylinzella." But that will not matter much, because his saddlebags will be stuffed with Yanqui dollars and back home in Panama or Mexico he will be as popular as the classiest matador de toros. The Presidente will invite him to parties, generals will shake his hand, and when he wins the Kentucky Derby, the biggest race of all, his countrymen will drape sweet-smelling flowers...
...their prize colts once before. Never Bend and Candy Spots met as two-year-olds at last summer's $357,250 Arlington-Washington Futurity in Chicago. It was a bad day all around for Guggenheim. Candy Spots won by a half-length, and Never Bend's Jockey Ycaza was grounded for 60 days for a "completely unwarranted" claim of foul. Yet both horses were operating under handicaps. Never Bend had sprained a back muscle at Saratoga, and Candy Spots, still green, was running in only his third race. "Candy Spots won magnificently," Guggenheim says graciously-but he does...
