I'm in some of the photos of "the crash". Was sitting in the Top of the Stretch section and it literally happened right in front of us, across the turf course. That race ranks right up there, along with the 2004 rendition, but one that I'd never forget was the 1983 Champagne Stakes, a coronation of America's best 2YO since Spectacular Bid. It created a fan for life.
