I can remember the excitement surrounding 1978's Triple Crown races, after everyone had become blasé after Secretariat in 1973 and Seattle Slew in 1977 -- we all figured that Thoroughbreds had finally been bred up so that winning the Triple Crown would be pretty much regular.Then we got the duel between Affirmed and Alydar! Once again the races were exciting, and that tension was there -- would Affirmed win again, or would Alydar manage to nose him out? Who are you backing? Really? You're kidding, right? Don't you know that... and off we'd be, around the water cooler, at the lunch table, in the schoolyards, in line at the movies, wherever 2 or more horse lovers were, you heard those two names.This book took me back to that time, and even though I knew what was going to happen, I was still on the edge of my seat with every race; Ms Carroll has a gift for describing the races so that you feel you're there. The back stories on the people and the horses themselves were fascinating, and let me feel I knew them better than I ever had before. I still chuckle over the image of Affirmed sacked out on the ground, his head sticking out in the walkway!!It doesn't matter if you've waited 37 years for the next Triple Crown winner, or if American Pharoah is the only one you've ever seen, or if you have no idea what the Triple Crown is -- this book is well worth your time and will introduce you to the rarefied world of the Truly Great Horses. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by P***M on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2022* Great writing and wonderful true story. Outstanding rivalry between 2 equines and the people behind the scenes of their journey. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A story of two great champions dueling it out to become one of the ... *by F***K on Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2015* A story of two great champions dueling it out to become one of the elite in horse racing, The Triple Crown Champion, there are only a few. The challenge to get there and what it takes. Pure team work and cooperation not just of the horse and rider, trainer, groom, owner and all in a horses entourage to make it happen. The book is so well written that it put me on the horses back going the distance of the 1 1/2 mile spin around the race track. The personality of the horse that say's to his opponent, I'm waiting for you to come up on me, I dare you. Affirmed waits, listens for his contender, he hears him coming about his right hip, cocks his ear back and says to himself no you can't. He musters every ounce of determination to stay in the lead to the finish line and wins by a neck length. A wonderful story for any horse enthusiast. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/6967267-duel-for-the-crown-affirmed-alydar-and-racings-greatest-rivalry](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/6967267-duel-for-the-crown-affirmed-alydar-and-racings-greatest-rivalry) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
