Your post triggered a great memory and that was of one of my favorite horses of all time Alysheba. Almost every race down the backstretch McCarron started moving him no matter how fast the race was going unlike today where how they go into the first turn is almost how they are at the top of the stretch.
I also miss those days when the same horses ran against each other for a couple of years. Alysheba ran numerous times against Ferdinand, Bet twice, Slew City Slew, Waquoit, Forty Niner, Cryptoclearance, Gulch. It is a shame we will never see another horse like Alysheba in our lifetime.
