COUNT FLEET </p><p>saves ground in third, a length-and-a-half back, while SWAPS </p><p>ranges up to his outside in fourth. MAN O'WAR hugs the rail in </p><p>fifth, with CITATION to his outside and AFFIRMED three wide in </p><p>seventh. The rest of the field remains tightly bunched, with </p><p>NATIVE DANCER and FOREGO saving ground, and DAMASCUS is racing </p><p>widest of all. </p> </p><p> </p><p><p>In the run down the backstretch, SEATTLE SLEW and DR. FAGER </p><p>continue to eyeball one another, and as they pass six furlongs in </p><p>1:09 3/5, both appear relaxed and well within themselves. COUNT </p><p>FLEET drafts behind the lead pair, and it's a length-and-a-half </p><p>back to MAN O'WAR and SWAPS. NATIVE DANCER, CITATION and AFFIRMED </p><p>form a wall from the rail out, behind which sits SECRETARIAT, who </p><p>is boxed in by SPECTACULAR BID to his outside. BUCKPASSER trails, </p><p>but by less than ten lengths. </p> </p><p> </p><p><p>Cordero and Baeza have yet to ask their mounts as they round </p><p>the far turn, but after a mile in 1:34 1/5, the drive for home </p><p>begins in earnest. Longden guides COUNT FLEET to the outside for </p><p>his run, and MAN O'WAR follows closely in fourth. Coming off the </p><p>turn, SWAPS drifts out slightly, leaving room for CITATION to </p><p>launch his bid between horses. SPECTACULAR BID tracks CITATION </p><p>around the turn and into the stretch, then Shoemaker steers the </p><p>big gray to the inside of that rival, and takes dead aim on the </p><p>leaders. Turcotte waits patiently on the turn until SPECTACULAR </p><p>BID moves forward, then angles SECRETARIAT to the extreme outside </p><p>for his rally. </p> </p><p> </p><p><p>Nearing the eighth pole, COUNT FLEET wrests a short lead from </p><p>DR. FAGER, with SEATTLE SLEW a neck back in third and the </p><p>legendary MAN O'WAR ranging up on the outside in fourth. CITATION </p><p>looms boldly in fifth, and SPECTACULAR BID follows closely on the </p><p>heels of MAN O'WAR in sixth. Meanwhile, SECRETARIAT has clear </p><p>sailing in the middle of the track, and is closing the gap on the </p><p>leaders with each prodigious stride. With a sixteenth of a mile </p><p>to go, MAN O'WAR surges to the lead past COUNT FLEET but </p><p>SECRETARIAT is now just a length back in third and moving fastest </p><p>of all. As they near the wire, SECRETARIAT draws even with MAN </p><p>O'WAR, and in the final jump, puts a head in front to stop the </p><p>timer in 1:59, bettering his own track record by two-fifths of a </p><p>second. It's a length back to the great COUNT FLEET in third, </p><p>with a fast-closing SPECTACULAR BID nosing out CITATION for the </p><p>fourth spot. </p> </p><p> </p><p><p>Following is the complete order of finish: </p> </p><p><div align="center"><center> </p><p> </p><p><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial"><strong>FINISH </p><p> </strong></font></td> </p><p> <td valign="top"> </td> </p><p> <td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial"><strong>HORSE </p><p> </strong></font></td> </p><p> <td valign="top"> </td> </p><p> <td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial"><strong>MARGINS </p><p> </strong></font></td> </p><p> <td valign="top"> </td> </p><p> <td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial"><strong>COMMENT</strong></font></td> </p><p> </tr><tr><td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">1 </font></td> </p><p> <td valign="top"> </td> </p><p> <td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">SECRETARIAT</font></td> </p><p> <td valign="top"> </td> </p><p> <td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">hd</font></td> </p><p> <td valign="top"> </td> </p><p> <td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">Closed with </p><p> a furious rush</font></td> </p><p> </tr><tr><td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">2 </font></td> </p><p> <td valign="top"> </td> </p><p> <td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">MAN O'WAR</font></td> </p><p> <td valign="top"> </td> </p><p> <td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">1</font></td> </p><p> <td valign="top"> </td> </p><p> <td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">Stalked, led </p><p> late, nipped at wire</font></td> </p><p> </tr><tr><td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">3 </font></td> </p><p> <td valign="top"> </td> </p><p> <td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">COUNT FLEET</font></td> </p><p> <td valign="top"> </td> </p><p> <td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">3/4</font></td> </p><p> <td valign="top"> </td> </p><p> <td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">Saved </p><p> ground, led mid-stretch, held gamely</font></td> </p><p> </tr><tr><td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">4 </font></td> </p><p> <td valign="top"> </td> </p><p> <td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">SPECTACULAR </p><p> BID</font></td> </p><p> <td valign="top"> </td> </p><p> <td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">no</font></td> </p><p> <td valign="top"> </td> </p><p> <td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">Finished </p><p> with good energy</font></td> </p><p> </tr><tr><td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">5 </font></td> </p><p> <td valign="top"> </td> </p><p> <td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">CITATION</font></td> </p><p> <td valign="top"> </td> </p><p> <td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">nk</font></td> </p><p> <td valign="top"> </td> </p><p> <td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">Loomed </p><p> boldly, battled to wire</font></td> </p><p> </tr><tr><td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">6 </font></td> </p><p> <td valign="top"> </td> </p><p> <td valign="top"><font size="2" face="Arial">DR.
