Pine Circle was a "closer" and fond of going a distance. Typically, he'd break rather slowly, trail the pack, then finish very strong off-the-pace with little need of encouragement. The colt insisted on being in control, and ran his best race when allowed to do so. Pine Circle was a contender in the 1984 Triple Crown events, finishing 6th in the Kentucky Derby , 5th in the Preakness Stakes , and 2nd to winner Swale in the Belmont Stakes . Other notable race finishes by Pine Circle include his wins in the Widener Handicap and Hawthorne Juvenile Stakes ; 2nd places in the Arkansas Derby and Travers Stakes ; and 3rd showings in the Brooklyn Handicap , Gulfstream Park Handicap , Oaklawn Handicap , and Secretariat Stakes . The colt retired with lifetime earnings of $598,191 and a racing record of 4-4-8 in 29 career starts. At the age of 7, Pine Circle was sent to Australia to stand at stud, producing a number of successful racing progeny “Down Under.” REFERENCES |
