I DON"T OWN ANYTHING Edgar S. Prado (born June 12, 1967 in Lima, Peru) is a US Racing Hall of Fame jockey in thoroughbred horse racing. Now a resident of Hollywood, Florida in 2004 Prado became the 19th jockey in thoroughbred racing history to win 5000 races. On May 6, 2006, Prado rode Barbaro to victory in the 132nd Kentucky Derby, 6½ lengths ahead of the second finisher, Bluegrass Cat. The margin of victory was the largest since Triple Crown winner Assault won by eight lengths in 1946. Barbaro was pulled up following a horrific ankle injury during the Preakness Stakes two weeks later. Prado was visibly shaken, declining comment, but by all accounts his fast action on the track contributed to saving the colt's life. (However, Barbaro was euthanized by veterinarians at the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center on January 29, 2007.) Other racing accomplishments include victories in the 2002 and 2004 Belmont Stakes, in each case aboard a longshot depriving a favorite of the United States Triple Crown. In 2002 Prado won the Belmont aboard Sarava, who is the longest shot to ever win the Belmont Stakes in its history at odds of 70¼/1. In 2004 Prado rode Birdstone to victory in the Belmont, denying heavy favorite Smarty Jones the Triple Crown. Prado and Birdstone then went on to win the prestigious Travers Stakes at the Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York in August 2004. Prado viva el peru had not won a Breeders' Cup race until 2005, when he won two ...
Redemption came from off the pace Saturday afternoon, on a day when speed ruled and youth was served. Hall of Fame jockey Kent Desormeaux, after six failed tries that included the toughest beat in history with Real Quiet in 1998 and last years aborted Triple Crown attempt with Big Brown, capped a four-win day with his first Belmont Stakes victory aboard Drs. Kalarikkal and Vilasini Devi Jayaramans 11-1 longshot Summer Bird before a crowd of 52861 at Belmont Park. Summer Bird paid $25.80 to win. I left the house this morning with a will to win this race, because it means beauty, class and elegance, Desormeaux said after Summer Bird brought him through the middle of the lane for a 2 ¾-length victory over Dunkirk in the 141st running of the 1½-mile Test of the Champion the longest and oldest leg of racings Triple Crown for three-year-olds. Mine That Bird, the 50-1 Kentucky Derby winner, Preakness runner-up and Belmont Stakes post-time favorite, was third, followed by Charitable Man, Luv Gov, Flying Private, Brave Victory, Mr. Hot Stuff, Chocolate Candy and Miners Escape.

Summer Bird captures the 141st Belmont Stakes on June 6, 2009
A year ago jockey Kent Desormeaux lost a bid for a Triple Crown when he had to pull up heavy favorite Big Brown. On June 6 in the Belmont Stakes (gr. I), he got his elusive Belmont win when he guided Summer Bird to an upset win in the third leg of the Triple Crown. All eyes were on the other bird in the field, Mine That Bird, but he came up short, finishing third as Dunkirk got second. Both Summer Bird and Mine That Bird are sons of Birdstone , who won the Belmont in 2004. Some might criticize jockey Calvin Borel for moving too soon in the 12-furlong race, but Borel said following the race that though he might have done so, "we just got outrun today." Borel would have become the first jockey to win the three Triple Crown races on different horses. He won the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) on Mine That Bird and the BlackBerry Preakness Stakes (gr. I) on Rachel Alexandra. Dunkirk went to the lead out of the gate, followed by Charitable Man, Miners Escape and Mr. Hot Stuff. Both Summer Bird and Mine That Bird were in the back of the 10-horse field as they went a quarter in :23.41. John Velazquez still had Dunkirk on the lead while Miners Escape took second as they went the first half-mile in :47.13 and six furlongs in 1:12.43. Mine That Bird was in last, but only about seven lengths from the lead. Meanwhile, Desormeaux had the spot that Borel normally has, sitting on the rail as the field approached the turn for home and the lengthy stretch run at Belmont ...

Stronach Stables' Ghostzapper unleashed a devastating stretch run to romp to a 6 1/2-length victory in Saturday's $500000 Vosburgh (gr. I), missing the track record at Belmont Park by a fifth of a second. The 3-year-old Awesome Again colt, with Javier Castellano aboard, completed the Vosburgh, contested for the first time at 6 1/2 furlongs, in 1:14 3/5, one tick off the track record set in the slop by New Farm's Confide in an Oct. 16, 1997 allowance.

This is Victory Gallop winning the Belmont Stakes by less than an inch over Triple Crown contender, Real Quiet.

Behrens, a late-developing colt who did not make his first stakes start until July, pulled off a stunning upset in tonight's $1 million Buick Pegasus Handicap at the Meadowlands, pulling away to a 5 3/4-length victory over Anet while the odds-on favorite, Touch Gold, finished fourth and last. The mile-and-an-eighth race was expected to be a showcase of sorts for Touch Gold, who with his victory over Silver Charm in the Belmont Stakes and his subsequent heroics in the Haskell at Monmouth had ...
Horse of the Year award. He was the favorite, but the odds were against him: the track was sloppy, he had his usual ankle problems, and to top it all off he was assigned a high impost of 137 pounds, with Honest Pleasure second weight at 119. He looked hopelessly beaten as he came to the final turn, but Forego is, well, Forego, and the rest is history. Enjoy! ...

In a smashing performance that ended his racing year and may have won two championships in less than two minutes, Holy Bull dazzled a field of seven all-star rivals at Belmont Park yesterday as he swept to a five-length victory over Devil His Due in the Woodward Stakes.

www.HorseRaceGame.com - Visit cf1970 for classic racing footage http - A composite of a few different angles of the amazing SECRETARIAT running his way into immortality in the 1973 Belmont Stakes, when he became the 9th Triple Crown Winner in history. I tried to jack up the wonderful audio so that we can drink in the great call by Chic Anderson and hear the roaring approval from the raucous crowd. This is by far the most watched horse race in history; it garnered an all-time record Nielsen rating of 17.5 with a 52 share. Only the great Seattle Slew, at 17.2/53, is anywhere near. As we all know, that record audience was treated to the most incredible performance ever seen in the history of horse racing. Enjoy!
Cigar stalked the pace set by Nick Zito's Star Standard for half a mile, then made his move as they rounded the far turn. With command, with style, he shot past Schossberg, he glided past Star Standard, and by the head of the homestretch he was widening his lead for one more formidable finish. As he crossed the wire for his eighth victory in eight races this year, he had 2 3/4 lengths on Star Standard, who had three lengths on Golden Larch. And then came Schossberg, winner of the Iselin ...

Dare and Go had only one more race before the Pacific Classic, and he finished second, beaten by a head by Cleante, in Hollywood Park's Bel Air Handicap on July 14. That race had a field clearly inferior to that in the Pacific Classic, but Dare and Go had trained strongly in the weeks leading up to the race, giving Mandella cause to run him. And then Dare and Go received a perfect trip. While Siphon and Cigar tore through a torrid pace ...

Twice spurned by buyers at auctions, Sunday Silence races in the colors of Arthur B. Hancock 3d, who raised him at his Stone Farm in Paris, Ky.

Easy Goer finally lived up to his spectacular promise of early spring yesterday when he roared past Sunday Silence on the turn for home and won the 121st Belmont Stakes by eight lengths. In doing so, he prevented Sunday Silence from becoming racing's 12th Triple Crown winner. Earlier this year, Easy Goer looked like the next Secretariat, a colt of limitless potential who might set new standards of excellence.

The Secretariat legacy is an amazing gift to horse lovers of every kind. Here is one of the amazing and legendary races of Secretariat at the last leg of the triple crown, June 9th 1973. This is one amazing horse. I created this video to share with the fans. Enjoy and cry for joy in such a miracle run. :) I want to dedicate this video that I created to 2 wonderful horses that passed away in 2006-2007: Lost in the Fog & Barbaro May they live and run within our hearts forever. They are now with "Big Red" in a kingdom that any horse lover would love to see one day. *The instrumental song is from the movie "Rudy".
