Horse racing's main events take the bidding track, with this collection of 1977-1978 Triple Crown event souvenirs. Each Spring the best young thoroughbreds take a run at history in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont Stakes. In the long history of these prestigious events, just thirteen horses have claimed Triple Crown honors, by winning all three races in the same season. Two of these proud champions are represented here, with 1977 Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew; and 1978 Triple Crown winner Affirmed. Also in the running is Alydar, who famously battled Affirmed in all three 1978 races, finishing a close second each time.
