So I guess it's a matter of athleticism vs. talent, particularly in this point. One could easily argue that athleticism is more important...and certainly got the job done more often when the two matched up.

So who was the more accomplished son of Alydar; Alysheba or Easy Goer? Alysheba does have more championships, Classic win, KY Derby win, TR holder etc

Two neat sites with replays of both for those who do not own a library of videotape :
