PLEASE, Everyone, we need to nominate Jean Cruguet into the Horseracing Hall of Fame. He is the only Triple Crown Jockey, who is NOT in the Hall of Fame. He deserves to be recognized for his accomplishment for winning the 1977 Triple Crown aboard Seattle Slew. It has been 35 years & this is the perfect year for him to become the 2012 Racing Hall of Fame Jockey :)

Only people who are around horses on a day to day basis can tell you things like how you asked Slew to do something,you do not TELL him,or you'll get into a fight you cannot win. That attitude was what made him what he was,he was a fighter,but he was smart and used his fierce will on the track,by running insane fractions and could still keep dealing them out 1/4 after 1/4. One of the best,he was my favorite type of racehorse,like Fager,Native Diver,etc. The hardest running style to have.

I love it that the criticism of Slew after the Derby sounded so much like the early criticisms of Zenyatta -- the horses in the Derby were just a bunch of "deadbeats". He couldn't beat quality horses. Even after the Triple Crown wins, still, he was "dissed" by Andy Beyer. His best race was to be the 1978 Jockey Club Gold Cup he lost to Exceller. Check it out on KZitem. A thriller, and it was the race where he silenced his critics, even though he lost!

Discovered that my thoroughbred A'day in Paradis is the grandson of this magnificent horse...his temperment is just like Slews! Very kind and gentle TB but once we are out on the trails with a group he thinks its a race once we start galloping and will fight his way to the lead!

Hey, you want to know something funny? Here in Oregon we have a paper called "The Nickel", where you can place ads to buy and sell different stuff. I once saw an ad for the Grand Daughter of Seattle Slew. If I had the time, money, and place, I would have bought her.

you're right aftershock, take it from a Secretariat girl. Nack said he thought Slew probably wld have given Secretariat his greatest competition, his opinion of course, but has the feel of accuracy.
