Book Synopsis Affirmed and Alydar by : Timothy T. Capps
Book excerpt: "During the Triple Crown season of 1978, two chestnut colts captured the public's imagination like no rivals before or since. Affirmed and Alydar battled head to head in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont Stakes. Affirmed claimed the Triple Crown, but Alydar tested him to the limits each time. To tell one's story is to tell the other's, so closely intertwined are the lives of Affirmed and Alydar. Author Timothy T. Capps, who witnessed many of the Affirmed-Alydar races, chronicles the early years, first encounters, and epic clashes of these two titans of horse racing."--Page 4 of cover
