It was the 1973 Belmont Stakes all over again, with Big Red so far in front of the field that poor Uncle George was out of the camera shot. Mr. Morris put in a tremendous fight through the human side of the bracket, fending off fights from the likes of Pat Parelli and Beezie Madden, but there was no stopping the great red freight train that is the most beloved American Racing icon of the 20th Century, who won with 75% of the vote.
