Rain drenched the final 1978 Triple Crown event but failed to dampen mood at Aiken. Spectators sported umbrellas and rain gear while jockeys and horses endured a soggy track. Notable outfits included Ken Hardin’s colorful horse pants and Mrs. Ashley Milner’s Irish green ensemble.
In a rain soaked day at Aiken, Steelfree won the Bosley Plate with Guilford Dudley Jr. owning and Mark McMillan riding. Barretor topped the Byers Plate with James H Stone’s entry trained by L.P. Tate. Other winners included Fed Funds in the first race ridden by Y Downs and trained by V W Raines, Lustrous Data in the third, and Hurry On in the notable male race. Between 1,500 and 2,000 spectators watched events across multiple stakes led by the Imperial Cup and Bayard Warren Purse.
