2003 Empire Maker Wins Florida Derby Saddle Cloth
Thoroughbred racehorse Empire Maker captured the 2003 Belmont Stakes. Just prior to that, the colt came through with a nine and three-quarter length win in the Grade I Florida Derby, then followed that up with another important win in the Grade I Wood Memorial Stakes. With that momentum behind him, he was a trendy pick to capture the Kentucky Derby but wound up coming in second to Funny Cide. During the Florida Derby triumph, Empire maker wore this smart, black-and-gold saddle cloth, which reads: "FLORIDA DERBY 6 EMPIRE MAKER." Five photos accompany the cloth showing it in action during the race.
