Breyer Model Horses Stablemates Size Justify #9302

The number 13 is anything but unlucky for three-year-old chestnut Thoroughbred stallion Justify who, in June 2018, became only the thirteenth horse in racing history to win the American Triple Crown. He is only the second since Seattle Slew to win on an undefeated record, and now joins 2015 Triple Crown champion American Pharoah as one of Breyer®'s greatest commemorative racing collectibles of the century.

Justify decided to retire after the Triple Crown, leaving the gate open for other racehorses at the 2018 Breeders cup.

The number thirteen has a reputation for being unlucky, but not if you’re justify - the 13th Triple crown champion! unraced as a 2-year-old, the journey from his maiden race to Triple crown glory took a mere 122 days. Owned by China horse Club, head of plains partners LLC, Starlight racing, and win Star farm, justify is trained by the legendary Bob Baffert. Piloted by Hall of fame jockey Mike Smith in all three Triple crown races, justify won the Kentucky Derby by 2 ½ lengths on a sloppy track, ending the 136-year-old “curse of Apollo.” in a fog-cloaked Preakness stakes, Smith and justify overcame challengers good magic and bravado to again claim victory. To clinch the Triple crown, justify dominated the Belmont stakes, leading from wire to wire and winning by almost 2 lengths! his feats made Smith the oldest jockey to win the Triple crown, and bafflers the second trainer in history to have two Triple crown winners.
