Almost Triple Crown: 1987/1989 - Alysheba/ Sunday Silence

[kedez2012]

Easy Goer's upset win was Alydar's revenge, haha. If only Alydar had been given more time to sire a Triple Crown winner! Those are just two of the fantastic progeny he sired before his life was taken by greed.

Well, Alysheba and Sunday Silence DID win the first two legs, but they needed binoculars to see the winner in the Belmont.

A testament to just how difficult it is to win the Triple Crown.

Dear i was so up set when without LASIX Alysheba stopped later in New York circuit they allowed Lasix so it mean Alysheba & Macarron was triple crown winners so they shold have had to give triple crown to Alysheba .I think Alysheba now technically is a triple crown winner .Why After that NEW York allowed LASIX ????????

Alydar 4 sure was going to produce a triple crown winner, so sad his was taken away at the peak of his stud career,...Alydar, thank you 4 passing your genetic wonders, they run just like you but run out of luck....

When i went to kentucky last year i spent an hour trying to find alysheba drive, just so i could say i went down that road. He really was incredable horse....
