Leading Sire in North America in 1990. The only horse to finish second in all three Triple Crown races (1978). Tragically, Alydar was euthanized in 1990 due to a broken leg suffered under suspicious circumstances - allegedly at the hand of J. T. Lundy, who later went to jail on other charges. Buried at Calumet Farm. Alydar was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1989.
