I love it that the criticism of Slew after the Derby sounded so much like the early criticisms of Zenyatta -- the horses in the Derby were just a bunch of "deadbeats". He couldn't beat quality horses. Even after the Triple Crown wins, still, he was "dissed" by Andy Beyer. His best race was to be the 1978 Jockey Club Gold Cup he lost to Exceller. Check it out on YouTube. A thriller, and it was the race where he silenced his critics, even though he lost!
nice tribute.......love the comment at 3:00 mark.......Slew is my personal fave largely because his greatest performance (IMO) came in defeat to the resolute Exceller.......i am actually considering getting a tattoo of him on my shoulder
I have Seattle Slew;s grand daughter. I am not lying. She is beautiful. She looks just like Seattle Slew. She can run up to 40 MPH. Me and my friends race against each other. My friend has the grand daughter of Secretariat. We race a lot and I always win. Lol. Figures, I have the grand baby of Seattle Slew. Haha.
The single most stunning, intelligent, outstanding warrior of a horse I have ever seen or will ever see. What a body. R.I.P. Slew. You are loved and remembered.
Only people who are around horses on a day to day basis can tell you things like how you asked Slew to do something,you do not TELL him,or you'll get into a fight you cannot win. That attitude was what made him what he was,he was a fighter,but he was smart and used his fierce will on the track,by running insane fractions and could still keep dealing them out 1/4 after 1/4. One of the best,he was my favorite type of racehorse,like Fager,Native Diver,etc. The hardest running style to have.
and alot of calls after talking to jockey club i was able to obtain his papers and seen SETTALE SLEW to be his granssire i about fell over! he is blessing in my life! and we were broguht together by faith. he will be w. me till his day he leaves to more on to green pastures in heaven. we had a hard road the 1st year we are complete in trust in 1 another now.
i was able to save a Wonderful setteal slew breed gelding (his grandsire is the slew) and OMG looks just like him and lissing to the above on how te slews dispostion was my big sweet boys is 100% the same, he was sent to a meat auction were even upon bidding no rider ec. just ran therew the ring and i had to outbid a horse meant buyer to after getting him had him 3 yrs. now and a tatto reserach
Hey, you want to know something funny? Here in Oregon we have a paper called "The Nickel", where you can place ads to buy and sell different stuff. I once saw an ad for the Grand Daughter of Seattle Slew. If I had the time, money, and place, I would have bought her.
what made him one of the greatest horse is the will to win then went against all odds against so-called experts to win The Triple Crown and of course as one of the best sire.
Aftershock: thanks for the diplomatic reply, I appreciate it. This footage is from the History Channel "Win, Place, Show" DVD included with the book "The Most Glorious Crown". It's very affordable at 20-30 dollars.
you're right aftershock, take it from a Secretariat girl. Nack said he thought Slew probably wld have given Secretariat his greatest competition, his opinion of course, but has the feel of accuracy.
I agree; Slew providing Secretariat his greatest competition has a lot of validity. That said, one could also offer Doctor Fager up to a mile and quarter, The Bid, Native Dancer, Forego would have been a tough foe, Man o' War, etc.
We are lucky there were so many great horses to choose from. I love 'em all!
Oh yes, all of them. I love part of this video where guy explains his temperament, very kind and generous as long as you ASK him, don't get into a fight with him 'cause you'll LOSE !! wonderful stuff
Yes, he has that same front-running style, and I agree, it's time for TC winner; after all, it's been 30 LONG years now. I hope it's a horse that shows something very special...I'm hoping War Pass is that horse.
Love this horse!!!!!!!!!!!!
