BALTIMORE - The sport of horse racing and all its fans and stewards had a little more than five hours Saturday to travel between the poles of tragedy and triumph. Between Havnameltdown's on-track death at Pimlico Race Course in the afternoon haze and National Treasure's dazzling victory in the Preakness Stakes under the long shadows of evening, the music kept blaring from the infield festival stage, six other races went off without a hitch, and Bob Baffert trended on Twitter - and not for any good reasons.

To hear them now is to feel transported anew, part of that world again. Just don't open your eyes. It'll break the spell. Because for as right as this Little Mermaid often sounds , it just as often looks all wrong.
