There were two "winner's circle" presentations after Brass Hat won the Sycamore at Keeneland, the traditional one for stakes held on the turf course and an impromptu one in Keeneland's regular race grandstand winner's circle, where Calvin was aboard bareback because Brass Hat had been unsaddled. The 2nd photo included friends, family and fans who have followed Brass Hat for such a long time.

FLASHBACK: February 4, 2006 - "The rain did not concern me at all," the trainer said. "This horse will run over anything. He could run up I-95 or go run in the snow. I was glad to see the strong pace, and when he got to third,
I felt pretty confident. I told my dad, 'We got it now.' I can't describe this. It's a dream ... just a dream for my Dad, for me, and for everyone who has been involved with this horse."
