That was my first day ever at Saratoga. The infield was open for the record crowd of 50,000. It was prior to the expansion of the grounds behind the main building. They still saddled the horses under trees with no fences where there are now picnic tables and more betting windows. 6 oz burgers were $1.50 and were very good, unlike the garbage they sell now for $6. And Molson drafts were a dollar at the Rafters. Now that was a disco even this old rock and rolling hippie enjoyed
Pincay did nothing wrong on Affirmed. He was set up. Angel, on Shake Shake Shake, was the devil helping out his buddy Georgie V. on Alydar. Very sleazy race.
Trivia question: Who finished third in that four horse race?
