Like many great and would be great race horses Affirmed had to be euthanized due to leg problems. He Was 26 at the time. Horse's can live from anywhere between 25 and 30 years which means he had a good long life unlike Ruffian who had to be euthanized at the age of 3. Affirmed was a Great Horse and has had many offspring since he had retired.
