Posted by: AwsiDooger

Video duration: 110 seconds

The famous first meeting between Triple Crown winners, on September 16,1978 at Belmont Park. Slew wins decisively in the excellent time of 1:45 4/5, despite taken wide off the final turn by Angel Cordero, in his first mount aboard Slew. Chic Anderson on the call, just six months before his death of a massive heart attack.

Galileo was unbeaten at this point of his career. He fared poorly in the Breeders Cup Classic in his only start on dirt, but terrific performances in Europe on grass, winning the Irish Derby and many other major races en route to being named champion 3-year-old in Europe.

This was Seattle Slew's second race at age 3, and 5th race overall. He obviously loved Hialeah.
Possibly Slew's most dominant stretch of 3 races were the Champagne at Belmont to conclude his 2-year-old campaign, then the two races at Hialeah in early '77.

Lion Heart uses his familiar frontrunning style to win the Grade 1 2004 Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park, handily defeating odds-on favorite Rock Hard Ten and holding off 20/1 longshot My Snookie's Boy. Lion Heart was the Kentucky Derby runnerup to Smarty Jones.

This race is already posted on YouTube, courtesy of cf1970. This version follows Slew a bit further after the wire.
I'm amazed the term Triple Crown never comes up in this call by the great Chic Anderson, even after the finish. Frank Wright finally mentions it.

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.

Saratoga Allowance 1978 - Seattle Slew Saratoga Allowance 1978 - Seattle Slew
Posted by: AwsiDooger

Video duration: 88 seconds

Seattle Slew's second race at 4, another 7 furlong allowance, this time against only four rivals. It came in August, three months after the Aqueduct allowance, with another setback causing change of plans after the Aqueduct race.
This was Slew's only start at Saratoga. He was scheduled to debut at Saratoga as a 2-year-old, but kicked his stall and inflamed a joint.

Dehere wins his third straight major 2-year-old race in a month at Saratoga. "Nothing less than the sensation of the Saratoga season..." He was the champion juvenile but cracked a cannon bone in his right hind leg prior to the Florida Derby at age three.
