I was lucky enough to call all three breaking their maiden.

All amazing.

Several have already mentioned it, but the most memorable one for me was Artie Schiller: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfcszNzA0HU

I remember I was in AC at the Borgata and was going nuts that he was going to win the Derby, 6 months later on Derby Day I was back in the same place and the old guys who razzed me were like "you're the guy who was going crazy for this horse back at Philly Park".
I can't find the video anywhere but if anybody has it I haven't seen it in a long time.

I remember seeing it on youtube but can't locate it now, If I run across it again I'll post the link.

He is entered Saturday in a stakes race @ Pimlico......

Won @ 1-2. Looked a little green down the stretch. I will continue to watch him as he progresses.
