What an amazing racehorse he was! My best friend in the late 70s was a girl (11 years old like me) who was nuts about horses and racing, and she and I watched all three legs of the Triple Crown together the year Seattle Slew won. Stacy called me today, and we are both a little sad remembering our childhood "crush" on that fast black horse. And strangely enough, his death this morning came exactly 25 years to the very day that he won the Kentucky Derby.
