I don't know if it's my computer or if it's the video-but the video keeps freezing every few seconds and it's driving me batty.

Try hitting "pause" until the video bar is loaded completely or enough for the play cursor to not catch up. Yes, it could be your connection, but then again, I have high speed and it's also loading really slowly for me right now. The video was quite big in size (over 500MB) and is HQ, so that could be it as well. YouTube can also be quite slow at times due to high traffic on their servers, etc., so it could depend on when one tries to watch videos, too.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for your help. I'll make sure I try this when I get home from work. I just enjoy watching Secretariat, Affirmed and Slew.

You're welcome.

Terrific music when Slew's in the paddock for the Belmont!

[cf1970]

Yes, indeed. Wonderful to listen to.

Take care.

Seattle Slew is a hero.

Against all the odds from the critics and won the Triple Crown is priceless for a horse with a price tag of 17500, he silenced them all.

RIP Seattle Slew.

Thanks for the video !

@FORESTDONS Seattle Slew is intriguing. Secretariat was a physical wonder, who could race PERFECTLY - almost seemed effortless for Sec: he was just a PHENOMENON. Slew seems to have been a Warrior. Barbaro seemed like Secretariat in the KD. It's TRAGIC that Barbaro was injured - what a terrible loss;Barbaro was an amazing & Beautiful racehorse.

if i were a horse, and if i were a good horse, i would have for sure run the way slew ran and danced the way slew danced.

This is when a horse was truly trained, they blew him out the day before the Belmont :) ..yup this is why we don't have 3x winners anymore, they are not trained for it. I remenber hearing Barbaro went for 5 mile "jogs" frequently...it showed :)

I loved Slew. He was one of my all time favorites.
