Do you know if anyone has any videos that show Seattle Slew passaging in the post parade?

@sumik8

You might check out the major horse racing uploaders on YouTube, like cf1970. He has some Seattle Slew videos that might show the post parade. I don't have anything like that.

Great version, awesome close up - thanks, Awsi.

[AwsiDooger]

Thanks aaronbees. I noticed cf1970 had posted upgrades to previous videos he had uploaded. I'd basically avoided posting videos of Slew races that already existed on YouTube, but today I looked at my versions and every one was slightly different, which surprised me.

It was a good day to upload, sick and bored.:)

This was the day the entire USA saw what Slew was!

Hope you're feeling better.

It's always great to see these alternate versions, which are often the local or network TV broadcasts and have the advantage of crowd noise, which most track feeds didn't have then (and still don't, at least here on the East Coast.) I am unsure whether or not CBS covered this race; it's likely the Ch. 9 replay.
