With one word more he would send them away, down the green lane, around a white-fenced circle for a mile and a quarter. The 75,000 turbulent shadows packed along the stretch would roar for two minutes, and one more Kentucky Derby would be over. Two minutes and a few seconds - two minutes for which the jockeys had trained for months, for which...
