Marlboro Cup G1 Vintage Saddle Cloth

Price: $395.00

Sold

Big things were happening in sports in the early 1970’s, and Secretariat was an important part of the story. It was the dawning of the age of corporate sponsorship of sports, and the sponsors were especially interested in television. One of the first big heroes they backed was Secretariat. Philip Morris executive Jack Landry was a horse racing fan. He saw in the amazing popularity of Secretariat the chance to expand corporate sponsorship into new territories, reaching millions of Americans through television. Landry dreamed up the $250,000 Marlboro Cup Invitational. Run on Sept. 15, 1973, at Belmont Park, Secretariat defeated stable mate Riva Ridge in world record time.

The vintage Marlboro Cup Invitational saddle cloth offered for sale above is original to the decade of the 1970s. It is original to this great race and a piece of American Thoroughbred History. The saddle cloth is in perfect condition and was not used as the field did not fill to 14 in the year it was made. Dimensions are 32 in. x 44 in. Stitched lettering and the large number 14 appear on both the left and right side of the saddle cloth.
