New York State's passage of the Hart–Agnew anti-betting law in 1908 resulted in racetracks statewide struggling to stay in business.

In all, Taral won the Brooklyn Handicap on three occasions and the Metropolitan Handicap twice. He was also a two-time winner of the Travers , Champagne and Withers Stakes .
In the pre-Triple Crown era, Fred Taral had back-to-back wins in the Preakness Stakes . He first won it in 1894 aboard Assignee and in 1895 he won his second Preakness plus the Belmont Stakes with the colt Belmar . In 1899 he won the Kentucky Derby aboard Manuel .[8]
Training career
[ edit ]
Following his retirement from riding in 1908, Fred Taral pursued a career as a trainer. Among his clients was the Riviera Stable owned by Victor Vivaudou [9] [10] [11]
