1955- Swaps (Khaled (GB)): #20 on the 20th Century List of All Time Great Horses. Winner of the KY Derby, Hollywood Gold Cup among other stakes wins. He is also in the Hall of Fame and has a Hall of Fame daughter Affectionaly. He is interred at the Kentucky Derby Museum. The 1st prep race for the SA Derby is named the Swaps.
1958- Silky Sullivan (Sullivan): Sure there where closers before him, but he was horse racing's first true deep closer. In matter of fact, in the Derby that year, CBS had to put a seperate camera on him because of his closing style. He remained popular throughout his career, and while his stud success wasn't much, he did pass along his closing kick. Silky is buried at Golden Gate, and until the great Lost in the Fog's passing was the only horse buried there.
1966- Boldnesian (Bold Ruler): His lone stakes win in his short career after bone chips where found. His sire career was a bit better. He has stakes Wing Out, Bold Rukus and Bold Reasoning (the sire of Seattle Slew).
1973- Sham (Pretense): This would be his final win of his career, of course he finished second in the Wood in his next race before running 2nd in the Derby, Preakness and Belmont to Secretariat. He didn't run again after the Belmont. HIs stud career included Safe Play the dam to Defensive Play, a G1 winner on turf and dirt.
1988- Winning Colors (Caro (IRE))
She had already won the SA Oaks when she faced the males for the first time. Not only did she get the win in here, but this would lead her to become the as of right now last filly to win the Derby. She would finished third and 6th in the Preakness and Belmont respectively before finishing the year with a good runner up in the BC Distaff. As a broodmare she wasn't as successful, but her daughter Golden Colors was G3 placed in Japan.
1990: Mister Frisky (Marasayas):
Superstar from Puerto Rico showed that he was the real deal. With that win he tied Citation for then a record 16 wins in a row (it's been passed three times since). Unfortanlly, a tumor effected his Derby and Preakness efforts (although he finished third in the latter). He was elected to PR Hall of Fame and has sired a HOY in PR.
2007 Tiago (Pleasant Tap): Up to this point, he had been known as Giacomo's little brother. He would follow his KY Derby winning brother footsteps by upseting the field. It would lead to a seventh place finish in the Derby and 3rd in the Belmont. He would go onto win the Swaps, and Goodwood before finishing fifth in the BCC. As a four year old, he won the Oaklawn Handicap and finished third in the BCC. He currently is recovering from a health related issue and will be returning to stud next year.
