Description
A look at the duel between Affirmed, the last horse to win the Triple Crown, and his archrival, Alydar. Alydar was horseracing royalty while Affirmed grew up on a backwoods Florida farm. But scrappy Affirmed held off Alydar by an ever-narrowing margin to win the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes in 1978.
