Glazer's video for Jamiroquai is less flashy but nonetheless eye catching. The band is mostly unknown in the States; its current album, Traveling Without Moving, is a mere echo of stronger, tighter, better American R. and B. from the '70s.

Because of its shorter distance and tighter turns, the Preakness is the race he thought Silver Charm might not win. Indeed, bettors made him the third choice, behind Captain Bodgit and Free House. In the home stretch, Baffert thought, Free House would hold off Silver Charm. But along came Captain Bodgit, and Silver Charm responded to this new threat, catching Free House at the wire by the bob of his nose. "Free House is a buddy of his from California," Baffert says.
