After just missing the triple crown in 2002, War Emblem captured the Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park... the first Kentucky Derby winner to earn that distinction. This race-worn saddle cloth from that August race shows nice use and reads: "6 HASKELL WAR EMBLEM." This was War Emblem's last race victory as he would go down to defeat in the Pacific and the Breeder's Cup Classic in his next two starts. The Kentucky-bred War Emblem, dark brown with a stark white demarcation between his eyes, lost the Triple Crown bid to Sarava at the Belmont Stakes. Comes with two pictures of the horse wearing the cloth, as well as an LOA.
