Was this a local fundraiser?? If so,the 3rd season premiere of Emergency and The NBC Saturday Night Movie wasn't seen.

Marlboro Cup (was Greensboro 9/15/73)

You are thinking of Ruffian, who had to be put down a couple years later after a match race.


Actually this was the first Marlboro Cup. A made for TV event that featured Secretariat and Riva Ridge. According to Secretariat.com, where I looked this up, Match races between two horses owned by the same owner was banned, so they came up with this event, featuring the two strong horses and some other champions to race on CBS.

After Ruffian had to be put down, match racing ended in this country, but in this particular race in '73, the Triple Crown winner won by a good size margin.

Channel 8 usually ran Bandstand and
Soul Train back to back; in 1973 that would have meant Bandstand
at 1, Soul Train at 2. Remember, though, that Bandstand was
a network show; Soul Train is syndicated, and the local station
gets more commercial time to sell in a syndicated show. So
Channel 8 went with the show that generated more revenue, since
Wide World Of Sports was on at 2 that Saturday.

> It was on NBC. Other nearby stations carrying it were
WSOC/9 Charlotte (now ABC), WSLS/10 Roanoke, VA, and
WRDU/28 Durham (now WRDC and UPN).
