LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Real Quiet, winner of the 1998 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, has been retired. Real Quiet arrived this week at The Vinery, near Lexington, Ky., where he will stand at stud.

The colt, purchased by Mike Pegram for $17,000, had lifetime earnings of $3,271,802. After winning the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, Real Quiet missed the Triple Crown by losing to Victory Gallop in the Belmont by a nose.
