Joe,
Thanks for the link.
Remember that day well.
I had a front row clubhouse seat for that Jersey Derby compliments of my late great friend Albert Hurren. Al was a Brit who, along with Mrs. McAnally ran many trips to the classic Euro races such as the ARC etc.
The next time I would be at Garden State was for the dispersal sale!
Spend a Buck certainly looked like a beaten horse during the race but he prevailed.
If I recall, the Buck might have been First Time Latex in the both the Kentucky and Jersey Derby that year.
Other than Woody's CF, the rest of that field was still eligible for non winners of a ham sandwich.
Brennan....totally crooked. Should have been a lifer....him, his helicopter and the appropriately named Due Process Stable.
That's another story.
