i remember it. there was a lot of positive press about it. and of course still some big time horses around for the first, with john henry and slew o' gold getting a lot of attention.
now, i wonder if it wasn't a bad idea after all....because back in those days, you have the fall handicap triple. when was the last marlboro cup? and why is everything a prep for either the derby or the bc now? christ, always prepping...it's like always a bridesmaid.
