Cool Rare Footage!,
From Sir Barton in 1919 to Affirmed in 1979, Jewels of the Triple Crown is a video for every horse racing fan to own!
This video does include some of the non-Triple Crown winners who still played a role in the lives of other Triple Crown winners in some way. These include Man O’War’s match race with Sir Barton (yes, there is footage of this on the video) and the all too sadly lost Alydar’s long lived rivalry with Affirmed. At the time this video was made, I believe Secretariat, Seattle Slew and Affirmed were all alive.
JotTC made Whirlaway my favorite footage wise, showing the freaked out colt running off the TV screen in the Preakness because he was so far back, to turning the pressure up and coming up to win it! You do need this VHS! It’s one of the best I own.

|Please Release on DVD!,
The best horse racing documentary I’ve ever seen! It’s written and narrated by the late great sports journalist, Jim McKay.
VHS description:
“The Kentucky Derby, The Preakness and the Belmont Stakes…these make up the ‘Jewels of the Triple Crown.’ In over 100 years, only 11 horses have conquered thoroughbred racing’s greatest challenge.
Many of these legendary horses are hosehold names. All have stories sure to fascinate everyone who’s ever been thrilled by a horse race. This exclusive video tells those stories and features rare film footage not seen by the public in decades.”
Indeed, each horse has a fascinating tale, (which is infused by McKay’s captivating narration and natural storytelling), but my favorite is definitely Secretariat. Of course, I think his segment is the most exciting and action-pumping to watch. Yet I also have a deep affection for Whirlaway. Can’t help but love that crazy and brilliant animal! And most especially, the unforgettable rivalry between Alydar and Affirmed. That classic Belmont footage still leaves me breathless.
The music that represents each era is another detail that I appreciate. It brings you back to the 1919′s Sir Barton all the way to 1978′s Affirmed. Excellent! No other way to describe it. A must-see and must-have!!! It’s both highly entertaining and educational.
