While Secretariat's Belmont is the one most remembered, this has to be one of the best head to head races ever run between champion-level horses.

Awesome- thanks for posting---- My Dad & Mom were Saratoga regulars- I wish I still had all the "I'm an Affirmed Believer" paraphonalia from those days- hats and shirts, etc.....

Hey Alydar- the Affirmed/Alydar races were epic! I didn't realize Alydar was running hurt throughout his career with foot or hoof problems. But it is my understanding that he became the greatest stud of his generation!

Between Alydar and Seattle Slew as far as I am concerned.
