Like the others in this series, this book tells the story of a famous American Thoroughbred race horse - except this time it's two horses. Affirmed and Alydar had a fantastic two-year rivalry which lasted through their three-year old Classic season. The book also relates the horses' fates after retiring from racing and some successes of their offspring.
