Not sure how Red Marauder could fit in with any system since he was a 2 1/2 miler and entirely unproven at 3m. Unless your system at the time revolved around the idea of 2 1/2 milers being ideal National candidates, which would have made it seriously flawed (imho).The race should have been abandoned that year and there was carnage in the first circuit, particularly at the eighth where no fewer than 11 exited the race. It was a once in a generation occurrence and probably won't happen again with the course re-designed to allow loose horses to bypass the fences.
