2016 Preakness Stakes

Exaggerator spoils the 2016 Triple Crown bid for Nyquist with a win on a sloppy track at Pimlico.

The first half of the race was so fast it seemed to take everything out of Nyquist and Exaggerator held on as he seems to race better on a muddy track.

This was the first career defeat for Nyquist.

2015 Triple Crown Winner

1994 Kentucky Derby

The 1994 Kentucky Derby saw heavy favorite Holy Bull meet a sloopy muddy track and this gave 9-1 favorite Go For Gin a chance and he took it and secured the only victory of his 3 year old season.

Go For Gin then finished 2nd in the Preakness and Belmont Stakes to Tabasco Cat in a frustrating Triple Crown for "Gin".

Holy Bull (his owners bypassed the 1994 Preakness and Belmont) came back to dominate the racing world in 1994 and be named U.S. Horse of the Year for and Champion 3 Year old colt of 1994.
He was inducted into the US Racing Hall of Fame in 2001.

THE TRIPLE CROWN - Documentary

1985 Kentucky Derby

The 1985 Kentucky Derby was won by surprise horse
 Spend A Buck, who ran,at the time, the 3rd fastest derby race in history (2 mins 1/5 sec).  
Spend A Buck would go wire to wire to clinch the 1985 derby, however his owner decided not to run the Preakness and Belmont Stakes.  This ruled out any Triple Crown winner for 1985 and thus all Triple Crown races added a bonus' to owners to enter their horse.

1985 Winner - Spend A Buck

2nd - Stephan's Odyssey

3rd - Chief's Crown (race favorite)
