were back in sixth.
Shoe Moves on Turn
Ycaza got away with an easy
first quarter-a rather slow
:24h-and then stepped up the
pace a bit to :472S for the half.
Shoemaker let out notch at
the far turn, putting away
Rural Retreat like flicking
away fly. At the quarter pole
Candy Spots surged past Never
Bend and there was nothing
but open space in front Of him.
Chateaugay made a fearful
looking move at the three
eighths pole, first around horses
and then splitting a pair to
save yardage.
1t was just the two horses in
the stretch. BaeZa asked the
son of Swaps for his best, but
he could not deliver today as he
did in Louisville. Shoemaker
cracked the long striding Candy
Spots lefthanded at the eighth
pole and the race was over. At
the end it looked like he was
strong enough to go around
again despite his 126 pounds.
Candy Spots, in reasserting
his claim as 1868 King of the
3-year olds, ran the mile and
ee-sixteenths in l:561s, quite
bit slower than Nashua's
record Of 1:543s. But had the
Californian been pressed, he
would have improved on the
