Seeing all the cars in the parking lot and fans in the infield, reminds how exciting it was to be on-track back then!! Also check out the Great Charlie Whitingham and Bill Shoemaker talking about Ferdinand before the 1987 SAH.

A Grey Dawn exacta in the 78 Big Cap. Vigors sure was a neat horse.
I wish someone would post the 85 Strub with Precisionist, Greinton and Gate Dancer.
