What were the best horse races of the 1970's?
This era had some of the greatest horses of all time!! It also had some of the greatest races of all time. Races that are now the stuff of legends...

Including....

1978 Belmont Stakes (Affirmed and Alydar at their heated best!)

1978 Marlbo Cup (First Meeting Between 2 Triple Crown Winners)

1978 Jockey Club Gold Cup (Seattle Slews best performance IMO)

1973 Triple Crown Series (Just 3 solid performances)

1977 Kentucky Derby (Slew stumbles and wins - perhaps his greatest 3-yold race)

1976 Marlboro Cup (Forego's Greatest Race IMO)

1973 Marlboro CUp (Secretariat vs. Stable mate Riva ridge in world record time)

1979 JCGC (Race between the bid and affirmed for HOY)

1978 Travers Stakes (Affirmed and Alydars final meeting and Alydars imfamous win by DQ)

1973 Whitney Handicap (Secretariat's biggest upset defeat - Secretariat loses to Onion)

1975 Ruffian Foolish Pleasure Match Race (The race that ended match races in America... though not a great race you can't say this wasn't a major race in our sports history...)

What else...
