Step into the winner's circle! This dazzling group of saddle cloths that graced some of the most notable racehorses is too good to be true. The five cloths belong to: Charismatic, winner of the Kentucky Derby; War Emblem, winner of the Preakness Stakes; Funny Cide, which also won the Preakness Stakes; Empire Maker, winner of the Belmont Stakes; and Thunder Gulch, another Belmont Stakes champion. A winning triple crown cloth (Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, Belmont Stakes) has never been offered at a public sale, so this is a unique opportunity to say the least. These are the rarest of the rare as the owners almost always retain the cloths from such historic wins. Most of the five come with pictures, dirt, stains, etc., while the War Emblem and Empire Marker cloths come with LOAs. All five horses offered are horses that won two of the three triple crown races and were, therefore, nearly Triple Crown winners. There is no real, true "guide" to use in valuing such a lot as nothing like this has ever gone up for auction.
