REAL QUIET
MARCH 7th, 1995 - SEPTEMBER 27th, 2010
 The Kentucky Derby hero Real Quiet was stricken and passed away in his paddock on Monday afternoon at Penn Ridge Farms. After a necropsy report was established, we learned that Real Quiet had suffered a severe fracture to his vertebrae near the base of his neck. “Either on the racetrack or a s a stallion, Real Quiet, always performed at the highest level, he will be greatly missed” said Michael Jester, Syndicate Manager of Real Quiet. During his span as a racehorse Real Quiet amassed over three million dollars in earnings and won Five Grade 1 races, (The Kentucky Derby, The Preakness, Hollywood Futurity, Pimlico Special and the Hollywod Gold Cup). Upon breaking his maiden at Hollywood Park, Real Quiet’s susequent wins were all Grade 1’s. Racing in the familiar red and yellow silks of owner Michael Pegram and trained by Bob Baffert, Real Quiet aka “The Fish” is most remembered for his valiant run at the Triple Crown in 1998. His narrow defeat in the Belmont was of the closest of margins, being nosed out by Victory Gallop, and to this day no other horse has been as close to winning the Triple Crown.
