1975 - Ruffian vs. Foolish Pleasure - The Great Match Race (CBS Sports) - Part II

Chic Anderson queries the "Master" Eddie Arcaro about his opinion of the match race, Jack Whitaker goes over the official results of the 7th race, Woody Broun offers pertinent information about the two horses and their connections, and eminent horsemen Frank Wright and Eddie Arcaro examine the entrants in the saddling area.
I apologize for the intermixed audio of the NYRA and CBS feeds, and for the overall quality of the coverage. It was the best I could do.

This is great. It's interesting to hear the NYRA feed as well, even though it interrupts CBS feed it is neat to hear Dave Johnson adressing the crowd between races because you dont hear much of the early announcers aside from the actual racecalls. Terriffic post, thankyou again, and as for Ruffian, may she rest in peace.

I agree; it was neat to hear Dave speaking over the PA, regardless of the interruptions.

You're very welcome. I'm happy you enjoyed the videos.

Wow! It´s really interesting to see how the people who watched the race on TV saw all this :D
