Seeking the Gold was a terrific horse. He came damn close to beating Alysheba in the Classic. Looked for a second like he was going to go right by him.

I watched that race last night on HRTV. Aly never let a horse go by once he was in front. I actually think he wouldve won the TC if McCarron would have listened to JVB and put him on the lead in the Belmont. He was such a great balanced horse, a true athlete.
