Belmont Stakes 1990-1999

Lemon Drop Kid 1999. Charismatic injured himself in the race and was retired from racing afterward:



Charismatic's jockey Chris Antley was commended for saving the life of Charismatic when the horse broke his leg crossing the wire. Unfortunately, Antley couldn't save himself.

Victory Gallop denied Real Quiet a Triple Crown in 1998 in this heartbreaker of a race. It was as close to a dead heat as you can get:







Touch Gold denied Silver Charm the Triple Crown in 1997:





Editor's Note 1996:






Thunder Gulch 1995:







Tobasco Cat 1994:




Colonial Affair with jockey Julie Krone, 1993. This is a sad one to watch because favorite Prairie Bayou broke down in the backstretch and had to be euthanized. Just horrible.




A.P. Indy 1992:






Hansel 1991:




Go and Go 1990:

Preakness 1990-1999

Summer Squall 1990:





Hansel 1991:






Pine Bluff 1992:







Prairie Bayou 1993. The 1993 series is especially tragic, for Union City broke down in this race and had to be put down. Even more heartbreaking was the winner's owners talked about how bad they felt for Union City's connections when they were in the winner's circle, but just three weeks later, Prairie Bayou broke down in the Belmont Stakes and had to be euthanized. He was a gelding. It was just tragic that year. I have a hard time watching this race and the 1993 Belmont:






Tobasco Cat 1994:






Timber Country 1995:




Louis Quatorze 1996:




Silver Charm 1997. This was one hell of a race, nearly a three-way tie, and from one of the better foal crops in recent years:






Real Quiet 1998:







Charismatic 1999:
