I had $100.00 to win on Vision & Verse. I was on the fence about Lemon Drop Kid and Charismatic. I almost bet the Trifecta box. I had narrowed my field down to the three finishers. ..I was blown away. The only person shouting in the OTB, thanks to the Daily Racing Form. ...I tried to play the Jockeys who were fresh enough for 1 1/2 mile, with the right horses, but I was relatively new to horse racing at the time.

a $1.00 trifecta wheel box with 4 horses (2,4,6,8) total of $24.00 - it was -a fluke bet - I meant to bet (3,4,6,8) but I guess with my accent the teller thought I said 'two' instead of 'three' hehehehehe

Yes, but Ferdinand was at a farm in Japan and ended up in a slaughterhouse. So hopefully not the smae fate.

Why is his name "Lemon Drop Kid"? What is the story behind that?

@Vulcan750L Good question. It's an interesting name.
cf1970 1 year ago
i think he's really a great horse and a true champion, imagine running with broken leg in a mile and half, i think that's courage and heart.. i really miss this he could be the triple crown winner...to chris he's one of the best...

Well said. Take care.

Wow, I'd forgotten what a big field that was, unusual for a Belmont particularly when the Triple Crown is at stake. I guess they didn't respect Charismatic at a mile and a half.
Still, a good effort by Charismatic. This was the third straight Belmont with a Triple Crown denied, following Silver Charm and Real Quiet.
Sad ending for Chris Antley about 18 months later, dead at age 34 and dispute whether it was homicide or drug related.

Good point, that field was large. Charismatic was a good horse, but might have been a little out of his element at a mile and a half. Chris Antley's story was tragic, very sad indeed. Touching to remember him holding Charismatic's leg to help save him after his injury. Take care.
