They raced each other 10 times, from June 15, 1977, in the Youthful at Belmont, to August 19, 1978, in the Travers at Saratoga. Affirmed won seven of these matches including thrilling duels in all three Triple Crown races. • Road to the Triple Crown: Affirmed At the start of 1978, there had never been back-to-back Triple Crown winners and no horse had ever had to beat the same rival in all three races to earn the Triple Crown title. All that changed during the course of 1978, when Affirmed and Alydar provided the racing world with equal amounts of thrills and pathos. • World Professional Chuckwagon Association The WPCA is an association of professional cowboys and business people with an interest in preserving our western heritage and providing exciting family entertainment.

Location: Belgium • Affirmed/Alydar was Racing's Greatest Rivalry From the time the two chestnuts raced neck-and-neck down the stretch in the 1978 Belmont Stakes, their names have been inexorably linked. Affirmed and Alydar. Anytime something is written about one, the other is inevitably woven into the story. Never in the annals of racing have two horses battled as frequently with so much at stake and so little separating them. • Thoroughbred Champions: Affirmed Affirmed will always be remembered by the people for his great winning resolve and his victories in the 1978 Triple Crown series. Surely he was one of the greats. But he was to meet his match later on in that year. In an extraordinary matchup, he met the great Seattle Slew, winner of the previous year's Triple Crown, in the 1978 Marlboro Cup. • Alberta Professional Chuckwagon and Chariot Association Our Association was formed in 1964 by a handful of cowboys who were interested in racing ponies that were 48 inches and under. There was so much interest and involvement that two main categories evolved, chariots and chuckwagons. A team of ponies pulls the chariots and two teams in tandem pull the chuckwagon. With a few rule changes, the size allowed now to race is 54 inches, which is 13.2hands high. Location: Canada, Alberta First Prev [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 ] Next Last |
