I love this, Affirmed is the grand dad to my 23 year old Affirmative Shadow.

Alydar, like Sham 5 years earlier, was one of those great horses who picked the wrong year to be born.

Another 1/8, and it would've been Alydar. Two great horses, never forgotten.

I also have an Affirmed horse. He is 32 years old. He was not a good race horse, but an amazing jumper.

I bet Alydar would have won one of the triple crown races if he hadn't have injured his eye. But who knows? Affirmed was a great horse too! Just to see they battle and be great rivals with one another truly shows this sport. These two were a great example of racing's best performances. They are legendary champions.

Good ride by Cauthen, laying off the blistering early pace.

Maybe only a born Kentucky girl would remember this race so vividly, mainly because I had a HUGE crush on Steve Cauthen! I was 13 and I thought he was the most charismatic boy ever! And he won the derby!

Haha. Same here! I wonder how many horses Affirmed sired. That would be one big family tree.

Alydar had no problem changing leads in the mornings. For some reason he rarely changed leads during the races.

Actually, Affirmed beat Alydar seven times out of the ten that they raced each other. I just think Cauthen was the better jockey.

Wow. The jockey was young. Exactly how old was he?
