Three of mine carry his genes.
I hope they carry his courage.

I rooted for Affirmed, but really loved them both at the time, and looked forward to their races as much as any in my entire life. I was even at Aqueduct for the Remsen when Believe It beat Alydar.

I guess as I got older, and became very friendly with John Veitch, I became more of an Alydar fan. However, I just love a good horse, an actually good one.
