Four Year-old Season
At age four, Capot won major stakes races including the 1950 Pimlico Special Handicap at "Old Hilltop" in Baltimore, Maryland. Capot is one of only four horses in history to win both of Maryland's top races in the Preakness Stakes and the Pimlico Special. The others were three Triple Crown winners in Citation, Assault and Whirlaway. Later that year he also won the Wilson Stakes and finished second in the Fleetwing Handicap.

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“Compare ... the cinema with theatre. Both are dramatic arts. Theatre brings actors before a public and every night during the season they re-enact the same drama. Deep in the nature of theatre is a sense of ritual. The cinema, by contrast, transports its audience individually, singly, out of the theatre towards the unknown.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
