1997 Triple Crown races were one of the most exciting in thouroughbred horse racing history. I had the joy of recording all that three races in a VHS tape and twenty one years later, I still have it 😃 Regards from a venezuelan citizen who emigrated to Chile searching a better way of life.

@Xzavier Bridger i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
The heart in these three was undeniable and tells the story of the tenacity and determination of the thoroughbred horse. Born to run and run they do into hearts and history leaving legacy's to be remembered. I salute you.
Silver Charm, was a Beautiful, and Amazing Horse!! I was really disappointed, when he lost the Triple Crown race, at Belmont, in 1997!!😣 It broke my heart!!!! Silver Charm, is now 25 Years Old, and he is still Alive and Beautiful!!!😍
According to The Bloodhorse Magazine "Top U.S Racehorses of the XX Century List" Silver Charm, foaled on February 22, 1994, is ranked in 63th. place: 12 victories, 7 seconds, 2 thirds in 24 starts and U.S. $ 6,944,369. 1997 U.S. Champion 3 Year-old colt and inducted to The National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 2007 ☺ 😊
Such a smart ride on Touch Gold by McCarron in the Belmont. He inherits a lead on the first turn im not sure he wants, but has the presence of mind to allow Wild Again and Silver Charm to go by in rather deep backstretch. Most jockeys in that situation are keeping their horse on the lead, rather than risk being bottled up on the rail if they allow others by, and Im not sure that had Chris pulled the trigger to stay in front with clean positioning, that he has much left in the stretch. Great rider.
Remember this Triple Crown so Vividly....Was 24 Years old...Thought for Sure Real Quiet was going to Win the Crown...Just 1 Year later Baffert had another Horse who Won first 2 Legs of the Crown and lost in the Belmont...Absolutely Amazing...Had $100 Win on Victory Gallop...
It’s hard to watch Solis whipping poor Captain Bodgit like that. Horse was clearly getting tired and giving his all. Solis should have been set down for that.
Silver Charm ran a straight line, look at the tire marks (when the harrowed the track prior to the race) and Silver Charm is running right on one down the stretch. It was Captain Bodgit who veered inward into Silver Charm, even though Captain Bodgit was getting a beating of a life time on that side that he veers in by Alex Solis.

Thanks so much you saved my ass :D

Silver Charm one of my favorite horses ! To me in my top 3

Well to be fair he got lucky in the Preakness, without the bad trip Touch Gold wins by 2+ lengths
I wonder if Baffert was doping horses back then !
What a great ride by Chris McCarron
Ah how I love Silver Charm!!!
I can't wait to travel to Kentucky to visit Silver Charm at Old Friends Farm in Georgetown, KY. Home of more champions than any other farm. :-)
Three of the top jockies of the 80's.

Great rider.
I can believe that no body mention paco Gonzalez
Jorge Dominguez all of the connections of Free House were amazing people. Loved Paco, Trudy and John.

My favorite horse was LEO! I ran 46.2 over half mile and he died in my arms after a truck accident. I trained him for the race.

tubeyhamster, I agree!!! I DO NOT like it, when horses are whipped!!! The Jockey, should have been put down!!!
Touch Gold has never been given the credit he deserves.
Wonder if Baffert hadn’t continual raced The great horse Arrogate if he would still be here.
Nobody ever talks about Cavonnier getting hit by Craig Perrett in the face twice with his whip turning for home !!
For what it's worth, most horses don't have a mile in them.
In this case silver is first before gold
Except after the Belmont.
Free House in the end was better. But what a rivalry those 2 had.
Stevens is a great tactical jockey but his strength in a finish is poor
Maybe Gary’s buzzer wasn’t working the day of the Belmont.
RIP hank
Heck of a horse and a great jockey.
Silver Charm cost Free House the Belmont on the first turn. Should have been DQed
Touch Gold got very unlucky in the Preakness, without the mishaps he wins easily
foul riding in churchill downs!
Blue movie
Gary Stevens played spoiler a year later with Victory Gallop in the best Belmont Stakes ever
...ok, 2nd best
Yea second best Belmont stakes for sure because we all know which Belmont stakes was the best ever. I mean BEST ever.
Sorry but Silver Charm should have been taken down and placed behind the 2nd place horse at the Derby.

I agreed but then you see how they finished and they could run around again and he was never going to get past him.
Silver Charm moved out half a lane at most, you don't get taken down for that
How could any put these two pups out to defend and feed themselves at this age
