Preakness 1999

[@Caroni100]

RIP Charismatic (foaled March 13, 1996, died February 19, 2017) A great 3 year-old champion: 5 wins, 2 seconds and 4 thirds in 17 starts. We will never forget that horse. Greetings from Venezuela.

I recorded both 1999 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes in a VHS tape, and sixteeen years later I still see these races whenever I can, because it brings to me a lot of pleasant memories. I not have been transfer that video to DVD format due to lack of time and money. God bless Hall of Fame Jockey Christopher Wiley Antley! (1966-2000) Greetings from Venezuela.

Magnificent run from Charismatic and Antley... incredible story

[@Caroni100]

Christopher Wiley Antley (1966-2000) set two records which, I think, no other jockey has equaled or surpassed yet. In 1987 he became the first jockey to win nine races in a single day and in 1989 he won at least one race a day for 64 straight days. In 1988, at the age of eigthteen he was United States Champion Jockey by wins with 469. On August 7, 2015, Chris Antley was inducted to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, New York.

Amazing set of races! I just read the book, "Three Strides from the Wire" about Charismatic's 1999 bid for the Triple Crown. I suggest anyone with interest in this should read this story of the rise and fall of both Charismatic and Chris Antley.
