1972 Provincial Cup - Windsor Raceway [06:56]
All eyes of the record crowd of 12057 are on Horse of the Year and world record holder Albatross, but it's Isle of Wight, a third-place finisher in the 1971 Cup, who gets to the wire first. Herve Filion drives a 1:59 4/5 mile, the first sub-two-minute performance in Cup history.

Besides Williamson and Mott, they were Jacinto Vasquez, the jockey who rode 5231 winners, won the Kentucky Derby twice and won 268 stakes races, and three celebrated horses: Riva Ridge, the stablemate of Secretariat and the juvenile champion of 1971, who went on to win the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes in 1972; Bayakoa, the Argentine filly, who became a double champion in the United States by winning 16 of her 21 starts in 1989 and 1990, and Fort Marcy, three times a champion on grass and Horse of the Year for his exploits in 1970. They brought the Hall of Fame roster to 77 jockeys, 71 trainers and 154 horses. But few have been honored as early as Bill ...
