Affirmed
This photo takes us on a trip back in time--a snapshot of a Triple Crown in the making. Affirmed stands quietly as his trainer Laz Barrera and jockey Steve Cauthen discuss pre-race strategy.
Minutes later, Alydar and Affirmed would race down the track in tandem with Affirmed prevailing by a neck, placing their names in the history books for all time.
Affirmed still looks marvelous as he stands at Jonabell Farm in Kentucky.
