Thoroughbred Legends Seattle Slew: Racing s First Undefeated Triple Crown Winner (Paperback)

One of the most popular Thoroughbreds in recent times Seattle Slew was the first undefeated Triple Crown winner sweeping racing s three jewels while keeping his perfect record intact. Born of humble origins and homely looks the nearly black colt overcame modest credentials to conquer all before him. The bargain-priced Seattle Slew and his youthful attractive owners captured public imagination during racing s golden decade of the 1970s touching a chord that resonated over three seasons. In retirement he shone even brighter with many of his offspring becoming champions on the track. In Seattle Slew author Dan Mearns a longtime racing journalist and editor explores the life of the great horse who was one of only thirteen Triple Crown winners in the history of horse racing.
