 With much fanfare, the Philip Morris company (manufacturer of Marlboro cigarettes) sponsored what was to be a match race with stablemate Secretariat.After both horses were beaten in preparatory races for the match, it was changed to an invitational race which brought together top horses three years old and up.In record time, Secretariat (ridden by Turcotte) finished first and Riva Ridge (ridden by Eddie Maple) finished second.
