Following victories in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, he lost the Belmont Stakes due to a safety pin that got embedded in his hoof. Purchased for $37,000, he won 26 of 30 career starts and earned over $2.7 million and three Eclipse Awards. He died of a heart attack at Milfer Farm in upstate New York where he still stood at stud.
