Go for Gin Goes Out a Winner
Nice racehorse and a half brother to the versatile champion Pleasant Tap. He was the oldest Kentucky Derby winner at the time of his passing.
A reassessment of his career apparently revealed he won much more frequently than was first realized. I guess that's why the Stewards throughout the land are often described as "the 3 Blind Mice"? Go for Gin was bred in Kentucky by Pamela Darmstadt duPont, owned by William J. Condren and Joseph Cornacchia, and trained by Nick Zito. As a 2-year-old, Go for Gin, the son of Cormorant and Never Knock, won the Remsen Stakes (G2). At three, he was one of the few racehorses to beat the mighty Holy Bull, which he did in winning the 120th Kentucky Derby with Hall of Fame jockey Chris McCarron. He followed that win with a second in the Preakness Stakes (G1) and the Belmont Stakes (G1) losing both of those races to Tabasco Cat. From age 2 to 4, Go for Gin won 14 out of his 19 races, earning $1,380,866.

One of the few to capture the elusive Remson / Kentucky Derby double.
Others who won both were Johnstown, Carry Back, Northern Dancer, Pleasant Colony and Thunder Gulch.
