Help Belmont St 1978 Chart

[OTM Al]

Does anyone out there have a copy of the chart or program of the 1978 Belmont Stakes? Trying to find the full field AND jockeys in that race. Everyone knows the top two, but we're trying to get the names of the rest. Thanks

FRUSTRATION!!!!
looked at the bookcase and found 1977 and 1980 American Racing Manual's.....sorry, but I tried.

Pretty Sure it was:
1st-Affirmed- S.Cauthen
2nd-Alydar- J. Velasquez
3rd-Darby Creek Road
4th-Judge Advocate
5th-Noon Time Spender

The last three were far back(but in a pack) from the first two at the wire obviously.

Great race

Interesting
fractions :25----1:14 no speed fools here
Alydar soon taken off rail and moved outside of eventual winner Affirmed.
I wonder if the result would have changed had he remained on the rail for his trip?

Anyway they sure were competitive for those TC races
