1999. Edition #125. 1 Liter. Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby Limited Edition — commemorating the 125th running of the Kentucky Derby, from the year Charismatic won the Derby and Preakness before breaking down in the Belmont Stakes, denying a Triple Crown in one of the sport’s more dramatic near-misses.

Charismatic’s 1999 campaign was one of the more dramatic Triple Crown near-misses of the modern era — winning the Derby and Preakness before breaking his front leg during the Belmont Stakes, yet managing to finish third. Jockey Chris Antley’s instinctive act of jumping off and holding Charismatic’s leg aloft to prevent further damage became one of racing’s iconic images.
