#Alysheba

It's been 35 years since Midland-owned horse Alysheba captured the hearts of many racing fans when the 3-year-old thoroughbred won two legs of the Triple Crown with victories at the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes.

The 2021 Kentucky Derby was full of drama. While it was back in its traditional spot as the first jewel of the Triple Crown, a surprise winner and familiar trainer initially found their way to the winners' circle as Medina Spirit -- at 12-to-1 -- took home the garland of roses at Churchill Downs. Legendary trainer Bob Baffert was the horse's trainer and won a record seventh Kentucky Derby with the victory.
