I never saw film of the Baruch---he did give the winner 12lbs that day.
He certainly really showed up when the chips were down---Manilla won all 5 of his career attempts in Grade 1 races. Including shipping to Southern California and beating the deepest BC Turf field of all time.
Well, Dancing Brave apparently lost over 100 pounds and was pretty freaked out and clearly didn't show up.
But, Manila was a tiger that day. I was actually there.
