Silver Charm - Bob Baffert's first Kentucky Derby winner came in 1997 and he was the first horse to have an opportunity to win the Triple Crown since 1989. Silver Charm developed a huge fan following based on his determined way of winning and eventually retired in 1999 at the age of 5. Silver Charm was voted three-year-old champion of 1997 and was a candidate for Horse of the Year in 1998.
