Kentucky Derby [1999] Charismatic

[@garyring1157]

My favourite Derby. Don't know why but goosebumps. Its timeless

[@Caroni100]

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

that groan you hear at the finish line included my voice. Nobody had a ticket with Charismatic anywhere in the grandstands near where I was sitting. An elderly woman I did not know, grabbed my arm when they turned for home, she was pumping, and jumping and screaming her head off, until they passed us just before the wire. Realizing the winner was a long shot she didn't bet, she released my arm and just slunk back down onto her seat. What a great two minutes that was. Funny thing is, right after the race, I looked him up in the Racing Form, and thought, oh that was an easy horse to pick--if memory serves me, he was a grandson of Secretariat--which I completely missed when handicapping the race. Easy, isn't it? HAHA

RIP Charismatic. He died suddenly this morning, February 19, 2017.

[@Caroni100]

Grabé el Derby de Kentucky y el Preakess Stakes 1999 en una cinta VHS y dieciseis años después, aún veo esas carreras cada vez que puedo porque me traen muchos gratos recuerdos. No he podido transferir esos videos al formato DVD debido a falta de tiempo y de dinero ¡Dios bendiga a Christopher Wiley Antley! (1966-2000) Fue exaltado al Salón de la Fama ¡Saludos desde Venezuela!

[@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. At the age of 18, Antley was United States Champion Jockey by wins with 469. Greetings from Venezuela.

R I P CHRIS ANTLEY

[@paulveneziano4082]

Always thought chic Anderson and Tom Durkin were two of the best thoroughbred 🐎race track announcers , but i give the " edge " to Dave Johnson ! Now , maybe 😏🤔 im a little biased given the fact that we lived near each other in the 1980s and 1990s on the east ➡️ side of Manhattan and would run into each other many times in the famous 🍺🍻 bar restaurant " PJ Clarke's " ! Dave was just a great tremendous super nice 👍😁🎯 guy and i hope 🤞 he's doing well ☺️😊👍😁🎯 !

[@PatriciaMcKeeUSA]

I actually got to see Charismatic in person for a second, I picked him for the Derby and also his jockey Mike Smith, I believe won this year's Belmont.

[@Emilpuma8]

Mike Smith never rode charismatic.

December-2016 Charismatic has returned from Japan and is now safe at OLD FRIENDS.
