1999 Kentucky Derby - Charismatic : Full ABC Broadcast

Charismatic, a 30-1 shot, captured the 125th Run for the Roses in a time of 2:03 1/5. The win gave trainer D. Wayne Lukas his third victory of the '90s and fourth overall.
Charismatic, ridden by Chris Antley, held off Menifee, with Lukas' other starter, Cat Thief, third. Lukas, who was voted into the Hall of Fame on Tuesday, won the Derby in 1996 with Grindstone, in 1995 with Thunder Gulch and in 1988 with the filly Winning Colors.
The win before the second-largest crowd in the race's history was merely unbelievable to owners Bob and Beverly Lewis.
Shocking is what it was to many in the crowd of 151,051 as Charismatic paid a winning mutuel $64.60, third-largest in Derby history behind $184.90 by Donerail in 1913 and $72.40 for Gallahadion in 1940.
Trainer Bob Baffert failed to become the first person to win three straight Derbys. His three horses ran out of the money -- Prime Timber was fourth, the filly Excellent Meeting fifth and the gelding General Challenge 11th in a field of 19 3-year-olds.
It was a case of lucky 16 for Lukas. Charismatic was only the second Derby winner since 1990 to break from the No. 16 post; the first was the Lukas-trained Thunder Gulch in 1995.
The entry of Excellent Meeting and General Meeting was the 9-2 favorite, meaning no betting choice has won since Spectacular Bid in 1979.
Charismatic was eighth in the run down the backstretch and moved to fifth entering the final turn. By the time he was exiting the turn, he was third and driving.

RIP Charismatic (foaled March 13, 1996, died February 19, 2017) a very great 3 year-old champion. 5 wins, 4 second and 2 thirds in 17 starts and US$ 2,038,064 earned. We will never forget you. Give us our greetings to Chris. Best regards from Venezuela.

Caroni100 From claimer to a Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner, a hard loss for the sport and fans who connected with this hard trying underdog and his troubled but loving jockey, Chris Antley, who passed away 17 years ago.

CAUSE OF DEATH

[@Caroni100]

@@zachalderton2057 "Charismatic died on the morning of February 19, 2017 at Old Friends (an equine retirement facility in Georgetown, Kentucky) due to severe bleeding caused by a pelvic fracture. He was thought to have sustained the injury during the night without sounding alarm, and did not appear to have been in distress when he was found. The cause of the fracture was unknown" Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia´s quotation.

Christopher Wiley Antley (1966-2000) set two records which, I think, no other jockey has equaled or exceeded 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. At the age of 18, Antley was United States Champion jockey by wins with 469. He was inducted to National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame on August 7, 2015. God bless him! Greetings from Venezuela.

I've always liked Al Michaels, but that introductory remark was not correct. The 20th Century did not end until the following year.

This is the 2nd video of yours I have seen with a clicking sound in it. What is wrong with it, or what did you do to it? It just ruins the whole thing. So irritating.

Stupidest bet I ever made in this one.. keyed Charismatic over third, fourth, fifth and sixth place horses. Left out Menifee and played no other bets.
