The author talks about his visit to Saratoga to honor Alydar's races in the 1978 Whitney (where Alydar finally changes leads for the first time) and the 1978 Travers (which Alydar won by disqualification). Hear the famous call of the Whitney as Alydar "Comes like a shot" to win by a glorious seven lengths. Stanley Broughton, Calumet's maintenance man, discusses Lundy's order to fix the bolts the morning after the accident at 9:00 am, the discarding of the original corroded bolts and the subsequent bracket repair. The controversy over whether Broughton may have accidentally or intentionally disturbed the original bolts is explored. The opinions of the prosecution's expert, Dr. George Pratt, are reviewed in light of Broughton's testimony. Questions about Calumet's security the night of the accident are raised.
