As a three-year-old in 1948, Vulcan's Forge ran in two of the U.S. Triple Crown races. He did not compete in the Kentucky Derby but finished second in the Preakness Stakes and fourth in the Belmont Stakes. On September 30, 1948, owner C. V. Whitney sold the colt for $80,000 through a Belmont Park auction to Isaac Collins.[1]
On April 14, 1951, while at the Frances Keller Stables at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California, Vulcan's Forge fell ill with colic and died.[2]
