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.
