Real Quiet Preakness Stakes 1998 + Extended Post-Race Coverage

This is Real Quiet winning the 1998 Preakness Stakes. Real Quiet would then enter the Belmont Stakes as a possible Triple Crown contender. You can watch the Belmont Stakes for this year on my account too.

RIP FISH. I always respected and admired you even though much of the media depicted otherwise. It was but a nose that kept you away from you joining the list of all time greats, I really thought you had it that day at Elmont, NY...I knew the feeling of seeing my 1st triple crown winner for a few moments on the 1st Saturday in June 1998. Never forget you my friend...rest easy and gallop on the devine green pastures in the skies!

You said it all.

[@kevinbrennan-ji1so]

The very 'tip' of the nose, at that. One heckuva race, regardless.

[@pla1945]

Man, did I love this horse!

[@TheFlyingExperience]

Gosh I am sad to hear Real Quiet is no more. God Bless your soul and the joys you brought us.

[@kevinbodman1011]

What a great horse.

He was my inspiration to write a book.

I forgot what a great race that was! RIP Real Quiet

Real Quiet never got the respect for the horse racing establishment, but he showed them. Gutsy horse. A runner. We loved you.

[@kevinbrennan-ji1so]

One of the few times when I was moved to tears watching a sports event - the Fish looking to earn everyone's respect and overcoming the odds as a skinny little horse that could.

Damn Real Quiet was no joke. Kinda forgot about him.

RIP Real Quiet who was Baffert's #2 horse at the beginning of the year to his #1 Indian Charlie. Victory Gallop and Elliot Walden would get final revenge in the Belmont Stakes. Where is Elliot Walden these days anyways? Real Quiet was purchased for a grand total of 17,000 dollars!!

To Real Quiet: Goodbye my old friend - you always looked me in the eye and let me know you were the real thing, but I never thought you were happy. You deserved to be galloped in full tack. We tried my friend. Cast a cold eye On life On death Horseman pass by ... William Butler Yeats’ epitaph
