"The Triple Crown Challenge" Produced in May of 2003.. a look back at some of the Triple Crown winners and those that failed in their attempt at immortality..
In my opinion, these horses who missed the Triple Crown should have won it:
Alysheba, Sunday Silence, Silver Charm, Real Quiet, Smarty Jones, and Big
Brown. In the case of the latter two horses, the Belmont marked their only
career losses. Real Quiet was only four inches away. Silver Charm had
everything he needed. Alysheba and Sunday Silence were the victim of poor
trips/jockey error.
Alysheba should be Triple Crown Winner #12. McCarron admits today he was
scared to death on Alysheba during his Belmont. At least he has the guts to
admit he blew it for the horse. Van Berg told McCarron before the Race the
horse would be in front the entire Race. McCarron was white as a ghost, Van
Berg knew it was over then. Owners of Alysheba should've put Pat Day on
Alysheba for the Belmont!!
Alydar jockey always places the horse on the outside obviously hes going to
run more, at a higher speed to cover the same distance. Alydar is actually
faster so swap jockeys and Alydar wins ..
