This race is already on YouTube, courtesy of cf1970 and neojappy. I'm posting this version because it includes additional post race comments by Jim McKay, and a very good isolated analysis of Slew bullying his way into contention after he broke slowly. Slew co-owner Mickey Taylor narrates that segment.

  • Yes, that was obviously the key to the race. Cruguet doesn't get enough credit for aggressively clearing a path. I was glad this version showed the isolated replay of the opening quarter.

    I remember being stunned when Slew broke so poorly. The Derby is the one race you can't afford that, as a frontrunner in a logjam race.

    Good tactic, IMO, by For The Moment. He made Slew earn it, after content to trail Slew in the Champagne. Cormorant pushed the front end in the Preakness.

  • @jemarqu yea we have have a thoroughbred at our barn with his bloodline

  • @143ilovestormy Many people own a grandson of Seattle Slew. Seems like just about every card accross the nation has at least one horse with Seattle Slew in their bloodline.

  • @umarmaxmas Slew did one thing if he didn't know anything else,if they didn't move aside just "bull" your way through. You had to admire his guts and nerve.

  • @gotch09 I was stunned when i saw that, he is bumping and pushing them around, "get out of my way bitches". slew had an agressive disposition. he seriously wanted to run away from them all.

  • Wow, I didn't know that people were already comparing Seattle Slew to Secretariat back then.

    Safe to say he lived up to the billing. He sure got away with one here... somehow finding a way through after a slow break!

  • i own seattle slews great grandson and he looks excactly like him!

  • My best friend's grandmother owns Seattle Slew's grandson.
