Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 125th Edition Straight Bourbon Whiskey 1999
Description
Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 125th Edition is the one-liter commemorative bottle for the 125th running of the Kentucky Derby in 1999 — the year Charismatic won the Derby and Preakness before breaking down in the Belmont Stakes.
Charismatic's 1999 campaign was one of the more dramatic Triple Crown near-misses of the modern era — winning the Derby and Preakness before breaking his front leg during the Belmont, yet finishing third. Jockey Chris Antley's instinctive act of jumping off and holding Charismatic's leg aloft to prevent further damage became one of racing's iconic images.
