Ron Volkman, another of the owners, was delegated to count and distribute the on-track winnings. He went into a stall in one of the men's rooms to sort out the swag. "I was shaking so bad, I was lucky the whole thing didn't fall into the toilet," Volkman said. Wild Again's dramatic win was not without a 10-minute stewards' inquiry. When they decided to leave Wild Again's number up, but disqualify Gate Dancer from second to third place, the owners of both Gate Dancer and Slew o' Gold soured. They planned to appeal the outcome to the state racing board, and the civil courts if necessary. The morning after the race, the stewards called a hearing and invited all parties. A reporter asked Marje Everett if the press would be able to sit in. "Hollywood Park has no secrets," she said. The hearing lasted 45 minutes. The stewards were Pete Pedersen and the retired jockeys Alfred Shelhamer and Hubert Jones. They had already earned their pay the day before, disqualifying a filly owned by Earl Scheib in the second Breeders' Cup race ever run. Coincidentally, Scheib, who painted cars to pay for his racing stable, had bought time on NBC for a 30-second spot that ran shortly after the disqualification was announced. Scheib was the pitchman in his own commercials ("No ups and no extras"). "You can't imagine," he said later, "how many people called to say how composed I was on the commercial, considering I had just had a million-dollar race taken away from me. Hell, did they think I did those damn things live?" Wisely, the stewards tapped Bill Hartack, the Hall of Fame jockey, to run the protest hearing. Hartack, a minor official at the track, was adept at breaking down race film. It was the smartest thing the stewards ever did. The late Farrah Fawcett with (l to r) jockeys Hartack took the Bill Shoemaker, Sandy Hawley and Laffit principals through Pincay Hollywood Park photo the stretch run of the race, in real time and slow motion, analyzing what the three jockeys--Day, Laffit Pincay on Gate Dancer and Angel Cordero on Slew o' Gold--were doing and thinking. When it was over, the appeals were dropped. "I still don't like it," one of the owners said as the room cleared, "but the way [Hartack] laid it out, I'll go along with it." Hartack was the unsung hero. Without his expertise, the result of the first Breeders' Cup's richest race might have meandered through the courts for years.
