The oldest living winner of the Kentucky Derby is living a life of leisure at a retirement farm in Kentucky. Silver Charm won the Derby in 1997. Gary Stevens was his jockey. He stuck his ears back again and flattened his head out and found another gear and it felt like we could have gone around again and nobody was going to get fine. Silver Charm won the Preakness 2 but didn't get the Triple Crown at the Belmont. A three-year-old then is now 30. He's living at Michael Blowen's old friend's farm and is treated like royalty. Silver Charm only has four teeth left and so he can't chew the big cookies. So now Mrs. Pastures provides us 200 pounds of crumbs. Silver Charm poses for pictures.
