Colonial
Affair (1990)
and Sur
La Tete (1998) are two of the
Classic Winners that Rutledge Farm
has bred.
Interesting
to note is that these two champions
set records in Classic races, but
at the same track -- Belmont
Park.
Colonial Affair's Belmont history
making victory established his jockey
as the first female jockey to win
a Classic stakes race. Sur La Tete's
triumph established a blistering
new track record time.
Classic
Winners - Multiple Legs of two
different Triple Crowns
Colonial
Affair's 1993 winning of the
Belmont
Stakes was the third leg
of thoroughbred flat racing's
Triple
Crown (Kentucky Derby,
Preakness Stakes, Belmont
Stakes).
Sur
La Tete's 2004 winning of
the Georgia Cup and the Meadow
Brook Stakes were the first
and third legs of Steeplechasing's
2004 Triple Crown. (Georgia
Cup, National Hunt Cup, Meadow
Brook Stakes).
NOTE:
Prior to 2004, the
Steeplechasing Triple
Crown consisted of different
races than it does
now.
