A bronze statue of 1987 Kentucky Derby winner Alysheba will soon be unveiled at his grave at Kentucky Horse Park.

The 25-year-old stallion was buried at the park's Hall of Champions last year after he was euthanized following an accidental fall.

A news release from the park says the public is invited to the unveiling April 16 at 10:15 a.m. EDT.

The statue was sculpted by Shelley Hunter, who also sculpted the John Henry memorial statue that will be ajacent to it.

A son of Alydar, Alysheba won not only the 1987 Kentucky Derby but also that year's Preakness Stakes and Super Derby.

Alysheba had moved to Kentucky Horse Park as a gift from His Majesty King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia in October 2008.
