  • thanks for posting, I remember this well. slew o' gold had a lot of heart to hold off a monster like Bates Motel.

    Island Whirl didn't have his A game for this one but he was usu brilliant on the front end. Do you have his Woodward(82) win? or Bates Motel's Santa Anita Hcp win?(also 82)

    Thanks so much!

  • Hey, you're welcome! Yes, Slew O' Gold really showed he was his father's son; the apple sure didn't fall far from the tree.

    I'll look through my videotape library and see if I have the races you've mentioned.

    Have a good weekend.

  • What a great memory, thanks for posting it.

  • Glad to have helped take you down memory lane.

    Thank you for the comments.

  • Wow. What a great race. thanks for posting this

  • I agree; a barn-burner. You're welcome.

  • Slew O' gold is an amazing horse. I have one of his sons and he is amazing like his father and grandfather. He looks JUST like Slew O' Gold. Im so proud to have his son.

  • There were so many great horses that year... Thanks for posting!

  • awesome !!!! I was there and had $200 on Slew O' Gold. an all time great memory. Thanks for posting!

  • A very underrated race.

    BTW, where does this race come from? Is this from Thoroughbred Action and Marshall was subbing?

  • Was at Belmont that day - Angel is still the best jock I've ever seen at getting a horse to the line in front. Those were the days.

  • What a fantastic stretch drive! Cordero on Slew O'Gold and Terry Lipham on Bates Motel was no match as far as race riding. McCarron rode Bates Motel in the Malboro Cup after the Woodward.
