Strike the Gold’s win in 1991 gave Racing Hall of Famer Chris Antley his first and only Blue Grass Stakes win. Strike the Gold’s victory was also a first for Hall of Fame trainer Nick Zito, who would claim two additional Blue Grass wins in 1998 (Halory Hunter) and 2004 (The Cliff’s Edge). The Alydar colt out of Majestic Gold won his next start in the Kentucky Derby three weeks later.
