Offered here is the winning saddle cloth worn by 1978 Triple Crown winner Affirmed in the 1979 Californian Stakes at Hollywood Park. Carrying an amazing 132 pounds, the 4-year old thoroughbred made it look easy, winning by five lengths in his standard front-running fashion. Obtaining a cloth from pre-1980 is nearly unheard of and to obtain a cloth worn by one of the greatest horses of all time is simply unbelievable. As 1978 marked the first year that horse's names started to appear on race saddle cloths as a matter of practice at some of the top races, they didn't get widespread usage until the following year. The cloth offered here is in race-worn condition and is made of an elegant, silk-like material. Accompanying the cloth is the winner's circle photo showing Affirmed wearing this amazing item.
