I always wondered ... ( 1 year ago by Bassman968)
I always wondered about the whole Lasix issue with Alysheba. He couldn't use it in New York at the time, but Bet Twice was ready to run....not sure Alysheba wins even with it.

Bet Twice was bread to win at this distance. Triple cronwn is very tough to win even with a classic horse like Alyesheba.

Alysheba was a great champion, but on this day he needed binoculars to find Bet Twice.
That was a strange ... ( 1 year ago by terjer01)
That was a strange comment by track announcer Marshall Cassidy at the end "Gone West will not win this one." sounding like Gone West was favored over Alysheba who was bidding for the Crown. Maybe it's just me who thinks it was strange.

I do not believe that Alysheba lost the Belmont Stakes because of lasix issue. The following year, 1988, he returned to Belmont to win a superb edition of the Woodward Stakes featuring Forty Niner and Wacquit. In the TVG show Legends, Chris McCarron took the full blame for his defeat as he felt his nerves prior to the races affected how he rode Alysheba that day. In my opinion, it was a day when Alysheba simply had an off day.
Gone West was ... ( 1 year ago by raymurray99)
Gone West was trained by Woody Stevens, who had trained the winners of the previous five Belmonts ('82-'86). I'm sure there was plenty of pre-race discussion about whether or not Gone West would make it six in a row. He was not favored, however.
I don't think ... ( 1 year ago by raymurray99)
I don't think Alysheba would have beaten Bet Twice on this day. However, I must say it was the worst ride I had ever seen by Chris McCarron. Keeping the horse well off of a completely dead pace, letting Bet Twice sprint away from him with no response, and then running Alysheba into the back of a tiring Gone West, requiring him to check Alysheba hard on the far turn. If Alysheba was good enough to beat Bet Twice in the Belmont, we wouldn't have seen it happen because of the trip he received.
Thanks. That makes ... ( 1 year ago by terjer01)
Thanks. That makes sense. (I don't mean Street Sense either) Marshall would throw in a comment in there once in a while. Example: When Easy Goer beat Sunday Silence, he said "It's New York's Easy Goer..." because of the east-west rivalry those two had.

terjer01. Marshall Cassidy said "it's New York's Easy Goer" in the Whitney, Not the Belmont. That was the race he beat Forever Silver and Cryptoclearance.

Marshal Kassidy is the worst announcer ever

Worst Announcing that I have ever heard. Also that was the worst ride by Chris McCarron that I have seen him make

That was pretty bad...a horse is denied the TC and he says Gone West won't win this one....Laughable.

worst announcer ever & chris mccarrons worst ride of his life. If mccarron would of had his head "out"... bet twice would of had some competetion.

The next day in the St. Louis Post Dispatch the headline was, "Triple Crown? Bet Twice Says 'No Dice.'"
I always remember who won the 1987 Belmont because of that headline.
As noted in other ... ( 2 months ago by Wallyhorse)
As noted in other comments, Alysheba would come back a year later and win the Woodward WITHOUT Lasix in what was a then-track record for 1 1/4 miles of 1:59 2/5 (lowered three years later by In Excess to 1:58 1/5, which still stands).
