Some of the world's fastest horses were
running at Colorado Springs' Pike's Peak
Turf Club on July 8th.The race was the
AMA National ChampionshipYamaha .
Gold Cup,128 furlongs (16 miles).
. The favorite wasYamaha, with Roberts aboard. But some racing experts
pointed out that Mann looked good on
Triumph, and Harley was at least a
dark horse.
When the dust settled,the scoreboard
proved the oddsmakers right.The winner
wasYamaha, by two-and-a-half lengths.
Yamaha rider Kenny Roberts stretched
his AMA National point lead, and set a
new track record in the PFOCesS.
And as if that weren't enOl.~.gh, Yamaha
won all the rest of the races on the sheet:
Novice, Junior, and Trophy.
When you think about it, it wasn't
even a horserace.
