Alydar

‰ÛÏNever has a horse been so beloved for not winning a race. Or three races, in the case of Alydar. The gallant chestnut‰Ûªs runner-up finishes in all three Triple Crown events ‰ÛÓ the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont Stakes ‰ÛÓ of 1978 made him as popular as the winner, Affirmed, and forever linked his name with his rival‰Ûªs. ‰ÛÓ Judy L.
