Alysheba also one of my favorite horses After Slew 'o Gold.
Unbelievable how Alysheba got back up at the 1/4 pole.
Absolutely unbelievable and Amazing.
I was 13 when I saw this race, my gosh I loved this horse so much. To this day, I have a scrapbook of newspaper clippings of him. Beautiful and courageous. ❤❤
Chris McCarron Definitely one of my favorite Riders .
Truly Amazing horse.
Amazing Ride by MacCarron
Loved Chris MacCarron.
Loved Alysheba that year
He was a better horse at 4 .
I remember taping the race on my vcr.
I was 11 yes old.
Great memories..
Okay, that confirms it, Alysheba was my favorite horse of all time! And I think McCarron is my favorite jockey! Along with Eddie D.! Won the BC Classic what, 4 times, plus lost by a nose in 87? Take that Jerry Bailey..♥️🙏👉🇺🇸
I remember taping the 87 Derby on my VCR
Alysheba was one of smoothest, prettiest movers when he galloped. He was all class. I remember one morning before the Preakness, Chris was aboard at the gap in Pimlico chatting with one of the outriders . Alysheba was quietly standing next to the pony watching other horses gallop and breeze by. He had his final prep for the Preakness a 3/8 breeze that went in :37 and a piece. Everyone commented on how slow that was. Van Berg knew what he was doing. Al was one of my favorites.
I remember he was prepping for the String stakes, his 1st race as a 4 yr. Old. Van Berg made the unusual move of working him 1 mi. 1/4 off the layoff. He worked faster than his derby time 2:03 yes , the former leading trainer of all time sure knew what he was doing!♥️🙏👉🇺🇸
Love the horse and chris mc carron place money on him every time they ran and I was only 12 year old . I was there at the Breeders cup when he ran second to Ferdinand.
