On TV, I have vague recollections of Cannonero II, but definitely remember Riva Ridge and Secretariat. Those were prepping me for my first betting years at Ak-Sar-Ben.
In person, only one time and it was in 1990. I was pretty solid with Summer Squall and then Unbridled came whizzing by. Had fun in the infield, the couple in front of me and a buddy had tank tops and cutoff shorts while smoking pot the whole day and the couple behind us were the quintesential Southern gentleman and his wife, complete with a tux and gown. Quite the contrast. The other interesting thing about that year is that on Oaks day we could roam the entire facility and have no problems. Just wasn't as big a day as it is now. I'll go back for another, but only when I can afford to be in the Grandstand with seats.............electric event for sure!!
