On DVD or VHS: See the best in racing that SANTA ANITA had to offer for the 1998 Season!

 

It began in the cold of winter and ended in the warmth of spring. In between, the 1998 Santa Anita season was defined by the champions who endured the unpredictable elements to find sanctuary in the winner's circle. The historic proportions of the El Nino rains were eclipsed only by the competitors who called Santa Anita home.

If a season is defined by the top athletes - both human and equine - that participated in it, then the 1997-98 Santa Anita season was more than equal to six decades of championship racing that preceded it. The nation's leading horses, jockeys, trainers and owners once again gathered in the shadows of the San Gabriel Mountains to shine brightly in the legendary Santa Anita
winner's circle.

This exclusive feature includes more than just the season's ten great Grade I races; it is an up-close-and-personal look at the stars that made up Santa Anita's races including the secnd year of coverage of the camera-savvy twin colt Thoroughbreds who were born in '96: FREYA STEVE and FREYA BOB, SILVER CHARM, GENTLEMEN, REAL QUIET, INDIAN CHARLIE, EXOTIC WOOD, ARTAX, ORVILLE N WILBUR'S, KEEPER HILL, HEDONIST, STAR OF BROADWAY, FIJI, STORM TROOPER, AMERIQUE, SOUVENIR COPY, I AIN'T BLUFFING, BAGSHOT, DON'T BLAME RIO, SIPHON, HAL'S PAL, MALEK, LORD GRILLO, MUD ROUTE, DESERT STORMER, CLASSIC CAT and a look back at some of the past's champs: AFFIRMED, SEABISCUIT and SPECTACULAR BID.
