@americasbestracing: “The greatest horse in the universe.” 🌹✨ In 1997, Silver Charm came within a few strides of Triple Crown immortality. He had already conquered the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, and was leading the Belmont until the very end. Today, he shares retirement at Old Friends Farm with the very rival who denied him history. Adored by tens of thousands of visitors every year, his biggest fan remains Michael Blowen. The bond that these two share is something special to behold. ❤️ #thoroughbred #kentuckyderby #ottb #emotional #horse

His little tongue 😭

Carrie-Leigh Coaching 🇨🇦 :

I love that Silver Charm and Touch Gold are neighbours. ❤

Silver Jones :

This horse is my namesake. 🥹 My parents didn’t have a name for me so they bet on him and decided if he won “Silver” would be my name. So thankful he won so I didn’t have to be named Emily.

AG :

I wouldn’t tell anyone I won the lottery but there would be signs and having a farm of retired race horses would be mine

D :

are you hiring for literally any position at all

Mick b :

Those horses deserve that treatment. Thank you for what you do.

piyowa :

Indianahorsefan52 :

They just lost Little Silver Charm this month. 😭💔🌈🐎 He was the spokeshorse for Old Friends. Run free Little Champ!

Chloe :

There is a special place in Heaven for this man and those horses

@jcb :

“They talk occasionally, about old times I guess” alright so I’m crying now

foxglove :

listening to him talk about silver charm made me tear up. you can tell he loves that horse so much 🥰

Trisha Coonce :

I imagine Touch Gold and Silver Charm are the type of old man friends like Jack Lemmons and Walter Matthau in Grumpy Old Men. Just razzing each other but it’s all love

Cab&Me :

man it's hard to keep weight on those old guys. 🥺 looks like a great retirement. 🥹

bevan :

Umamusume sucked me in so hard that I’m now learning about American racehorses too

Kasey :

In case anyone was wondering: Silver Charm, a former racehorse and the Kentucky Derby's oldest living winner, sticks his tongue out due to his advanced age and the loss of most of his teeth. This habit is a way for him to anticipate and accept visitors' treats and carrots, as his condition makes him unable to chew much else

Your sanctuary is amazing! Absolutely wonderful to visit!

softysoftmew :

omg he's giving them the retirement they deserve 😭
