Description:
This four-time Eclipse Awards winner won
the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness in1979, but missed the Triple Crown when he
ran 3rd in the Belmont. He won 26 races out of 30 starts, finished second twice
and third once to amass lifetime winnings of more than $2.7 million. He also
broke or equaled eight track records including the fasted horse at 10 furlongs —
a record which still stands.
