1978 Marlboro Cup - Seattle Slew defeats Affirmed 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.

2001 Epsom Derby -- Galileo Posted by: AwsiDooger
Video duration: 156 seconds 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.

1978 Woodward Stakes - Seattle Slew Posted by: AwsiDooger
Video duration: 191 seconds A somewhat different version than the videos of this race that cf1970 has posted. We might as well get to see them all. :) Related: 1978, angel, belmont, bill, cordero, exceller, horse, park, racing, seattle, shoemaker, slew, stakes, woodward |

1977 Flamingo Stakes - Seattle Slew Posted by: AwsiDooger
Video duration: 128 seconds 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.

1977 Belmont Stakes - Seattle Slew Posted by: AwsiDooger
Video duration: 272 seconds 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.

1977 Kentucky Derby - Seattle Slew Posted by: AwsiDooger
Video duration: 247 seconds 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. Related: 1977, billy, churchill, crown, cruguet, derby, downs, horse, jean, kentucky, racing, seattle, slew, triple, turner |

2004 Haskell Invitational -- Lion Heart Posted by: AwsiDooger
Video duration: 115 seconds 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. Related: 2004, assault, hard, haskell, heart, invitational, lion, monmouth, park, rock, royal, ten |

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. Related: 1978, allowance, cruguet, doug, jean, peterson, saratoga, seattle, slew |

2006 Breeders Cup Juvenile - Street Sense Posted by: AwsiDooger
Video duration: 110 seconds These are the horses pointing to the 2007 Derby. I'm posting it because the other versions on YouTube have problems with the sound, or no sound. Notice that Trevor Denman botches the call, overreacting to phantom moves by Great Hunter and Circular Quay and failing to identify Street Sense until he's about six lengths clear Related: 2006, breeders, circular, cup, daddy, great, hunter, juvenile, quay, scat, sense, stormello, street |

1993 Hopeful Stakes -- Dehere Posted by: AwsiDooger
Video duration: 84 seconds 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. Related: 1993, dehere, hopeful, saratoga, stakes |

1997 Champagne Stakes -- Grand Slam Posted by: AwsiDooger
