Pat Crowe died...

The best horse definitely did not win that race.. One of the most exciting races I've watched in person. Fake Left before the LBJ that year had raced in the jug preview at Scioto a week and a half earlier and if memory serves he got dead last in that race.

Also, can't help but wonder.....why did Bill Fahy let Ron Waples go? LOL.

[Brown jug]

agreed, a top driver would never have let waples go at that point
having said that i still think western hanover should have gone by fake left

[MIKE CAMPBELL]

Fake Left/Western Hanover almost a dead heat like Waples/Fahy in Hambo with Probe and Park Avenue Joe.

Really nice tidbit Mike The one I like since we talked about BJ Scoot is:He hung Albert Albert
in the Jug. BJ Scoot was sired by Falcon Almahurst, Albert Albert by Abercrombie
In a prior Jug those very same sires did the same thing with Falcon Almahurst hanging Abercrombie.
Always thought that was a strange kinda cool coincidence.

You're spot on.

Agreed, letting him go, and should have gone by him in the stretch, are two very different things. However, if Fahy doesn't let Waples go, he wins. Fake Left didn't just not let WH go by...Ron Waples got Fake Left to not let WH go by. Look at how Ronnie knew just when to get that horse brave and right up on the bit. Very, very smart drive by Ron.
