I remember a funny quote from John Veitch, Alydar's trainer, when asked if it was heartbreaking to Alydar to lose to Affirmed throughout the Triple Crown. He answered, "He hasn't said anything to me about it".
Another time Veitch was commenting on how someone had robbed his wife's jewelry from a cottage he rented at the Saratoga meet. He said, "This is the 2nd time I've been robbed up here. The 1st time was when I rented the cottage" Funny guy Veitch.
