No. He was not nominated. He still could be at a high cost, but he was not a normal triple crown nominee.

1999 Charismatic, ch. c.  Robert and Beverly Lewis  Parish Hill Farm and W. S. Farish  D. Wayne Lukas  1:55.3/5.\n\n\n\nCharismatic, who came within two lengths of becoming the 12th Triple Crown winner, has become the latest North American stallion or stallion prospect to be sold to Japanese interests.\n \nThe six-year-old son of Summer Squall will relocate to Japan after being sold to the Japan Racing Association for an undisclosed price in a deal brokered by bloodstock agent Rollin Baugh. Charismatic had stood his first three seasons at William S. Farish's Lane's End near Versailles, Kentucky. \nWinner of the 1999 Kentucky Derby (G1) and Preakness Stakes (G1), Charismatic retired to Lane's End after suffering career-ending fractures in his left front leg in the Belmont Stakes (G1), in which he finished third, only 1 ½ lengths behind Lemon Drop Kid. Charismatic stood his first three seasons for $35,000.\n\nCharismatic's first crop of yearlings was well received at the summer and fall yearling sales, and 38 have been sold this year for an average of $70,295 and median of $42,000. The group includes a half sister to Point Given, out of the Turkoman mare Turko's Turn, purchased by Eugene Melnyk for $450,000 at the Keeneland September sale. Melnyk also purchased a colt out of the Strike the Gold mare Elusive Gold for $260,000 at the September sale. \n\nBred in Kentucky by Farish and Parrish Hill Farm, Charismatic is out of the Drone mare Bali Babe, who is also the dam of Grade 1 winner Millennium Wind, Grade 2 winner Tossofthecoin, and stakes-placed winners Bahatur and Constant Demand. \n\nCharismatic, who won five of 17 career starts and earned $2,038,064, rose to the top of his generation in one of the more unique scenarios in recent racing history. \n\nAfter winning just one of seven starts as a two-year-old and losing his first two starts at three for owners Bob and Beverly Lewis, Charismatic was entered in a $62,500 claiming race at Santa Anita Park by trainer D. Wayne Lukas. The colt responded with a victory via disqualification. \n\nHe then finished second in an allowance race at Santa Anita, second by a head in the El Camino Real Derby (G3) at Bay Meadows Race Course, and fourth in the Santa Anita Derby (G1) won by General Challenge. \n\nCharismatic jumped unexpectedly into the Triple Crown picture with a sharp victory in Keeneland's Coolmore Lexington Stakes (G2) just 15 days after the Santa Anita Derby, then scored his upset Kentucky Derby win under jockey Chris Antley another 14 days later. \n\nCharismatic proved his Derby was no fluke two weeks later at Pimlico Race Course with a 1 1/2-length win over Derby runner-up Menifee in the Preakness. Although apparently suffering fractures in the latter stages of the Belmont, he crossed the wire in third before Antley pulled him up and cradled his injured leg—a move that many credited with saving the horse's life—until veterinarians could assist him.\n\nCharismatic underwent subsequent successful surgery to repair the injury and bred a full book of 106 mares in 2000. \n\nCharismatic joins dual classic winner War Emblem, champion sprinter Squirtle Squirt, and Grade 1 winner Swept Overboard, who were sold earlier this year, in moving to stand in Japan.—Tom Law.\n\nHowever, in 1993, the Belmont Stakes was won by Julie Krone on board Colonial Affair, on a dark and rainy day in New York. During the race, Prairie Bayou, winner of the Preakness, who went off as one of the top choices, broke his leg and had to be destroyed.

Here is the profile for your grandfather as posted here\nhttp://www.kentuckyderby.com/2006/derby_history/african_americans_in_the_derby/jockeys.html#olewis\n\n Let me say it is an honor to be the first to answer your question. Oliver Lewis helped to develop the system used to collect the past performance information for documenting the record for all races a horse has run in his lifetime. He founded my hobby and many owe him partial credit for our success and enjoyment of thoroughbred horses and racing. Fantastic question and I wish you the best of luck in your search.\n\n I suggest that you use the information from the Kentucky Derby website to research for any living relatives of the trainer, owner or breeder of Aristides. They may be able to provide you with historical information you can use to learn more about your truly great grandfather. \n\nIf you would like I can post your question to my personal network of horseracing associates and see if someone smarter than I am can provide you with some better suggestions. I have in mind one gentleman in particular who is now 84 years old and been handicapping since the 1920's. It' entirely possible he may have a story relevant to your gr. grandfather. I expect he would revell in the telling of it if indeed he did.\n\nI wish you much the best in your search.\n\nOliver Lewis:\n\nOliver Lewis rode Aristides to a two-length upset victory in the inaugural running of the Derby in 1875. The time, 2:37 3/4, established an American record for the 1 1/2 miles. Lewis was instructed to send Aristides to the lead to ensure a fast pace and set up the race for stablemate Chesapeake. He sent Aristides to the front and as the field rounded the far turn and headed for home, Chesapeake was far behind. The owner of the two horses, H. Price McGrath, told Lewis "Go on!" when he looked over at McGrath for a sign. Later that year he guided Aristides to a second in the Belmont. He won three races during Churchill's inaugural meet to take the honor as leading rider. Lewis never rode in another Kentucky Derby but was on hand for the 33rd running in 1907. Detailed information is not available, but it was reported that he later worked for a bookmaker (legal at the time) an provided detailed information on how the horses ran. This method of race result notes was later developed into charts which served as a forerunner to the Daily Racing Form and Equibase systems.

Kentucky Derby - Roses\nThe floral arrangement for the Kentucky Derby winner has been called a wreath, a blanket, and a garland since the first presentation in the 1890s. It uses 500 of the darkest red roses and greenery stitched on a cloth-backed blanket. \n\nPreakness - Blackeyed Susans\nThe black-eyed Susan is the Maryland state flower. It has yellow leaves and it is black in the middle. The arrangement for the Preakness winner consists of about 2000 blooms sewn on to a mesh of black rubber and decorated with a variety of greens.\n\nBelmont - White Carnations\nThe blanket of carnations worn by the Belmont Stakes winner takes 10 man hours to put together, as between 300-400 carnations are glued onto a green velveteen spread. The flowers are shipped in from either CA or Bogota, Colombia.

Posted: 6/10/2006 9:14:18 PM\n\nBelmont aftermath: How the runners-up fared\n\n\nFollowing are comments from the trainers and jockeys of the 11 horses who finished behind Jazil in the 138th Belmont Stakes (G1) on Saturday at Belmont Race Course.\n\nBluegrass Cat, second; Sunriver, third\n\nTodd Pletcher, trainer: "We had a rough trip with Bluegrass Cat. He lost a lot of ground on the first turn. He never stopped trying. Sunriver had a good trip. He dug in and tried hard. He ran a big race. Fractions were about where I thought they would be. I know sometimes, the strategy on the first turn is to stay out in the middle of the track, but basically, every race has been won on the rail all day. So, it was kind of a strange tactic. If it were anyone besides me, I was rooting for Kiaran [like Pletcher, a former assistant to Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas]. He is one of my best friends, a great person, and I am very, very happy for him. I'm disappointed. There is no consolation in second for me."\n\nJohn Velazquez, jockey of Bluegrass Cat: "This race just goes to show you that it doesn't matter how old you are, if you have the horse and the patience, you can win. It cost me so much going so wide around the first turn. I was right on the other horse's heels, where I couldn't get him inside. I had two horses to think about – Jazil and Steppenwolfer. On the second turn, I dropped in and thought that when the other horses started coming to me, I would go. Jazil came to me much quicker than I thought he would. I was at the three-eighths pole and he was head and head with me. I got after him little by little. He fought the whole way and ran a huge race. "\n\nRafael Bejarano, jockey of Sunriver: "My horse broke good. I put him in good position early and he was comfortable. When I asked my horse, he ran really well, but Jazil had a lot of horse. The pace was okay. I was right behind the leaders. My horse fought hard. I was happy with his effort."\n\n \n\nSteppenwolfer, fourth\n\nDan Peitz, trainer Steppenwolfer: "I'm disappointed and that's all I can tell you. He didn't run the race I expected. When we turned down the backside, we were right where I thought we would be. By the time we got to the half-mile pole, I didn't think we had a horse beat. I didn't understand that at all. He (jockey Robby Albarado) said he had horses in front of him." \n\nRobby Albarado, jockey: "I really liked my horse coming in, especially the way he had been training. He put in his patented run in there, it just wasn't good enough today. Jazil got there a little earlier than expected, since everyone thought he would be flying late. That was the only surprise – how quickly he got up there. I was about where I figured I would be, but they just sprinted out away from me."       \n\n \n\nOh So Awesome, fifth\n\nJimmy Jerkens, trainer: "I don't know what happened to him. He never showed any sign before of breaking through the gate like that."\n\n \n\nHemingway's Key, sixth\n\nNick Zito, trainer Hemingway's Key: "He was following the winner. He had just a little bit of difficulty there. He was moving with the winner. That would have been sweet. He ran sixth. He's a cool horse."\n\nJeremy Rose, jockey: "I was having a good trip. I got stopped a little on the turn. Before that, he was right there with the winner." \n\n \n\nPlatinum Couple, seventh\n\nJose Espinoza, jockey: "He broke really good. We had beautiful position. He made a huge move from the three-eighths pole to the eighth pole, and then he got tired. The winner was much the best and he obviously liked the distance."\n\n \n\nBob and John, eighth\n\nBob Baffert, trainer: "I thought my best chance was to steal the race. I didn't think anyone would want the lead. But that didn't work out. No one was going to let me do that. I told Garrett (Gomez) to le

Any horse can run in any of the three Triple Crown races as long as he (or she) is 3 years old, his owner is willing to pay entry and starting fees ($50,000 for the Kentucky Derby), and the field-size limit has not been reached. If that limit has been exceeded, then there are qualifying requirements for each of the three races based on purse earnings. For example, the field-size limit for the Derby is 20. If more than 20 are entered, eligibility is based on earnings in graded stakes (the highest-level races in the country).

Good question!!! Thus must be the most unpredictable KY Derby in recent years. Even though last year a couple of Long shots finished in the money, this year there are at least 10 horses that could actually win! I myself like Lawyer Ron possibly boxed in a tri-fecta with Barbaro and Brother Derrick, I might key with Jazil or Point Determined. If the track is favoring speed horses like Sinister Minster, Sharp Humor and SweetNorthernSaint they will also have a chance in finishing in the money. Let's not forget the closers like Jazil, Stepenwolfer, Point Determined and Cause to Believe. Also remember last years Derby where the long shots finished in 3 of the top 4 spots. There's a couple of "sleeper" horses like that in this years derby Showing UP and Keyed Entry. And don't forget the early favorites like A.P. Warrior and Bluegrass Cat who haven't done to much this year but still are great horses. Anyway good luck with what ever you choose and have a great Derby Day!!!

A current horse like the one you describe is Strong Contender.  His is a big strong horse.  He took a while to mature this year as a 3 year old.  He won the Super Derby over Lawyer Ron and Point Determined.  \n\nRumors had him pointed to the Breeders Cup Classic before his connections decided not to race him again this year.\n\nAnyway he's a big horse with a huge stride.\nHis Dosage and CDs are both very low.\n\nHe was bred by Haras Santa Maria de Araras, but I do not know if that is characteristic of their breeding in general.\n\nIn the video, you can see how much bigger he is than Lawyer Ron.  I would have loved to have seen him run in the Classic.

Can't you call a racetrack and ask them about the jockey club. I know the letter tells you which year the horse is born. My friend did this before. We have a racetrack close by.

It was a black Arabian Stallion.\nThe had a couple of doubles, but I knew this horse quite well.  It was a beautiful film.\nI enjoyed all of the Walter Farley books.  They were quite wonderful and they are what got me started in breeding Arabians.....smile\nThe Black that was used, his name for real was:  Cass-Ole

I'm liking a horse named Lawyer Ron. I don't think the mile and a quarter will be a problem for him.
