		In other racetrack ramblings, Margo Argot was seen with Canonero's rider, sexy little Juan Avila, and the tete-a-tete got very close when she found that he was an Aries, just like herself.

		Yet Canonero delivered a stunning performance; he came from 18th place, swooped powerfully around the 20-horse field and won in a runaway.
		When the colt came to Pimlico, reports circulated that he was lame, and the rumors were hardly quieted when Canonero worked five furlongs in a laughable 1 minute 5 1/5 seconds to prepare for the Preakness.
		Canonero inched away in the stretch and won in track-record time.

		Canonero the Second, the so-called Caracas Cannonball, born in Kentucky and sold for only twelve-hundred dollars to be raised and trained in Venezuela because of a crooked foreleg.
		Heedless of flying hooves and flailing riding crops, Canonero lowered his head and wedged his muzzle in the little gap between the two front-runners.
		You have to believe a Venezuelan raised and trained horse with a crooked leg, named Canonero II came from second-to-last to first to win the Kentucky Derby in nineteen seventy-one, because he did.

		Proving that horsemen don't necessarily learn from history, Edgar Caibett made the same mistake with Canonero II in 1971 that McMahon did with Majestic Prince two years earlier.
		After coming from nowhere (Venezuela, actually) to win the Derby and Preakness (in record time), Canonero II was stricken by a rash before the Belmont.
		Alas, Canonero II wasn't himself and finished a dull third behind the victorious Pass Catcher and runner-up Jim French.
