1978 Travers Stakes - Affirmed -vs- Alydar [05:41]
With the infield open to the public, a record crowd of 50122 jammed its way into the Spa, shattering the previous record by more than 15000. There was no way anyone in attendance or the millions watching on TV could foresee the bizarre events that would ensue. What began as a glorious celebration of the sport would end in bitterness and controversy. For the first three-quarters of a mile, everything was going as predicted.

Rolex - - - River Downs Race Track... [03:20]
*I'm not eligible to give out any of these horses registered names so don't ask. So the first chestnut horse is the sweetest horse I think I've ever met. He bowed his tendon about 5 months ago, and when he was better they raced him again, then he bowed it again):.. When I came back to visit him he was resting in the back of stall and I was like hi sweetyyy and he came walking up wth this ears uppp but he was limping and almost fell/: it was soooo sadd. I wanted to cry the hole time watching him. I'd be the saddest girl in the world if we couldn't have him... Then later when it was time for me to leave to our next destination I was walking away , he stuck his head out the stall with his ears up and whinnied...and just kep watching till I dissapeared.. ahhhhh it was so sad. But yeah the second horse is Oakley , we might get him, but yeah he's clean and no vicess he's 17.1hh. the third horse, we weren't all that interested in .
