Here is a photo of the fabulous Bold Forbes at the Kentucky Horse Park relaxing. He won the 1976 Kentucky Derby. He was born in the United States, but owned by a Puerto Rican gentleman, Enrique Rodriguez Tizol. He was ridden brilliantly by Angel Cordero, Jr. to a victory over Honest Pleasure with Braulio Braeza. He won the Belmont Stakes, but came in third in the Preakness.He was the Champion 2 year-old in Puerto Rico and then Champion 3 year-old in the United States. He was inducted into the Puerto Rican Racing Hall of Fame in 1985, and Cordero nicknamed him "the Puerto Rican Rolls Royce!" His final record was 18: 13, 1, 4 and he produced some very famous babies. He was euthanized on August 9, 2000 because of renal failure and gastroenteritis at the Kentucky Horse Park and is now buried at the Hall of Champions. Wonderful blessed creature.
