  • Many thanks for posting this. I remember watching this race and being awed by Slew's pure speed and catch-me-if-you-can style. For the Moment was a Leroy Jolley horse and pretty good, already a Grade 1 winner and 4 straight wins, but Slew left him in the dust.

    I immediately bet my friend $20 that Slew would win the Triple Crown. LOL. That was a stupid wager in terms of value but hey, I collected.

    The 1:34 2/5 broke the record for a two-year-old running a mile.

  • AWESOME PERFORMANCE! by the one and only SEATTLE SLEW. Man he was incredible! Immediately after the race, Leroy Jolley offered Jim Hill 1 million dollars for The Slew. That might be about 3.8 million in today's dollars!

  • I was there for that race. My friend who saw Slew in his previous race told me "your going to see a champion today" and he was right! For me he was the greatest horse of my life, both on and off the track.

  • My horse is seattle slews grandson! Its so amazing to see what runs in his blood lines.

  • that was when the general public became aware of the ultimate frontrunner Seattle Slew. Yes he made real good horses look bad, that is what the great ones do.
