3 Au Bon Marche
4 Danzig Connection
5 Mogambo
6 Scat Dancer
7 Tasso
8 Mr. Classic
9 Real Courage
10 Groovy
11 Regal Dreamer
12 Storm Cat

(On the last page of the program - Robert Brennan of 1st Jersey Securities exclaims that "horse racing is entering into an exciting new era of growth and opportunity")

Of course, Tasso won the Breeders Cup Juvenile that year for Neil Drysdale and Laffit Pincay, Jr. (and things didn't turn out too well for Mr. Brennan).

I remember sitting in the grandstand 2nd level and mid-stretch on a blustery, cold day. Gotta love it !!!
Ketoh! Another Lukas'd runner. I thought he had a bright future. I believe he was another one out of Courtly Dee.

Louisiana Slew was another Lukas in that race. The hype on that horse was just tremendous. Cost almost 3 mil and was basically an allowance horse, at best.

Louisiana Slew was owned by Louisiana oilman J.E. Jumonville, Jr. The Jumonvilles were known for blowing big money on horses with little talent - see Real Dare.
