Beyond ability, which Proud Clarion proved he has, a horse needs a lot of plain racing luck to weave his way around a field and come from behind. Luck was with him in Kentucky, as it may or may not be tomorrow at Pimlico. But a horse out in front is a horse out of trouble, if he can manage to stay there. I think Barbs Delight...
...every step of the way. But Jockey Don Brumfield kept insisting that wasn't Kauai King's natural way of running. In winning seven of twelve previous races, the dark bay, three-year-old colt had come from behind every time. In the Preakness last week at Pimlico, under Brumfield's sure rein, Kauai King reverted to his old ways. The result was even more impressive than at Churchill Downs...
...action this Saturday. For once, it isn't due to the networks' penchant for counterprogramming. Both events are being held simultaneously: the heavyweight championship bout, live from London via Early Bird satellite (ABC, 5-6:30 p.m.);* the 91st running of the Triple Crown classic, live from Pimlico...
...operate on the gradual-warm-up principle. The fun is controlled for a while by force of habit, but before long the sisters are gaily falling into swimming pools, wheeling school buses around as though they were Maseratis, or treating a math class like the starting line-up at Pimlico.

Lucky Debonair naturally was the favorite at 8-5-despite a bruised ankle that almost caused Trainer Frank Catrone to scratch him from the race. Tom Rolfe, the smallest horse in the field (at 15.2 hands and less than 1,000 lbs.), was the sentimental second choice, mostly because three of his four 1965 victories had come on Maryland's deep, sandy tracks. His breeding probably had something to do with it too. Sired...
