This year Super Saver was a bit of a longshot winner in the Kentucky Derby. He never won again and was retired in October to stand at stud at WinStar Farm. Lookin At Lucky finally had good luck and won the Preakness. He went on to win the Haskell Invitational and the Indiana Derby then finished 4th in the Breeders' Cup Classic. He was also retired and will stand at Ashford Stud. The Belmont was won by Drosselmeyer and neither the Derby or Preakness winner ran. He hasn't raced since, but has been working out so maybe we will see him again in 2011.
Here are all the pages of info and photos I put up for the three Triple Crown races. The results page has the order of finish and pay-offs as well as photos of the running. The rest are self explanatory and all include several photos. Take your time and look at them all to relive the experience of this year's spectacle.

Lookin At Lucky wins the Preakness - The new jockey must have changed his luck as he had no problems this time and wore down First Dude to win the Preakness with Jackson Bend third. Favorite Super Saver faded to finish 8th. Get the results, charts, and photos here.
