Bred Colonial Affair, who won the 1993 Belmont, carrying Julie Krone.

Trained by the 1992 U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, Scotty Schulhofer, Colonial Affair is best known for his win in the 1993 Belmont Stakes, as the 13-1 longshot. Colonial Affair's 1993 Belmont triumph is also in the record books, because it was the first time that any female jockey (Julie Krone) won any of the three races of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing.

Colonial Affair went on to win other major races, including the Peter Pan Stakes (1993), the Whitney Handicap (1994), the Jockey Club Gold Cup (1994), and the Excelsior Breeders' Cup Handicap (1994).

Colonial Affair was also only 3 votes shy (out of a possible 247) of winning the 1994 Eclipse Award for American Male Champion Older Horse.
