I can barely remember the winners in the 70's I was a teenager, I was there for Smarty Jones attempt and I will attest to the fact that when Smarty turned for home it was the loudest of any crowd I have ever heard and mine you I played before 90,000 screaming fans in Nebraska and that didn't compare to the crowd noise that day!!! Also I have never heard a crowd go so silent as when Smarty was passed in the stretch!!! I got so involved in the battle for 3rd yesterday that It lost some luster for me but it was thrilling and by the way I got nosed out of some good money in that photo!!!
