My greatest moment...mid Sept 1973, Belmont Park. It was my first time to attend live races. The featured race on the card was the inaugural running of the Marlboro Cup. It was a field of champions. The only 3yo in the race just galloped with absolute ease around that field which included the best older handicap horses in North America, running 9fl on dirt in 1:45:2 which stands to this day as the track record at Belmont Park. Unfortunately, I was a horse racing neophyte at the time and did not fully appreciate the magnitude of the horse I saw perform that day.
