Racing! Seattle Slew is No. 3 in Triple Crown countdown; Jon White’s final Belmont rankings

Share via

Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we get to Belmont Stakes Eve.

Once again, before we get to Jon White’s Belmont rankings, let’s see if you remember the run of our No. 3 horse in the Triple Crown countdown.

3. Seattle Slew (1977) 103 points

Seattle Slew, the 10th horse to sweep the three races, is the only undefeated winner of the Triple Crown, something Justify can equal if he wins on Saturday. But some say that Seattle Slew never got enough credit for his accomplishment. Panelist Tim Layden gave this analysis: “It's often said that he beat a weak crop, but the Triple Crown defines itself.”

Another panelist, Jon White, put it this way: “Seattle Slew for a long time did not seem to get the respect he deserved. Because Secretariat had become so popular when he had become a Triple Crown winner in 1973, Seattle Slew rubbed a lot of people the wrong way when he achieved the feat just four years later. Trainer Billy Turner told me in 2014 that he actually received hate mail after the Belmont for winning the Triple Crown with Seattle Slew. It also did not help Seattle Slew that only a year after his Triple Crown, Affirmed won the three races. But as the years have gone by, Seattle Slew became less and less an equine Rodney Dangerfield. Probably one of the reasons for that is that Seattle Slew would become one of the premier sires of all time.”

The panel, by consensus, put him at third best. One voter had him seventh, one put him in fifth, three had him in fourth, but five said he belonged third. One voter said he was second.

Last year the Times ran a very long story on the 40th anniversary of his Triple Crown win. In it, we talked to the owners, trainers and even Slew’s exercise rider. You can read it here.

Seattle Slew was the favorite in every one of his 17 races, except as a 4-year-old when he ran against Affirmed. As a 2-year-old he won all three of his starts including a 10-length win in the Champagne Stakes at Belmont. This established him as the early favorite for the Kentucky Derby.

He started his 3-year-old season in Florida, winning an allowance and the Flamingo Stakes. Then in his final prep, he easily won the Wood Memorial in New York by 3 ¾ lengths. Co-owner Mickey Taylor was concerned about security, especially when he found a night watchman asleep at Hialeah. He moved his parents, and their camper, to outside his barn as added security.

When it was time to go to Louisville, Churchill Downs officials said they were not going to allow the camper on the backstretch. Taylor threatened to pull his horse. Churchill capitulated. The start of the Derby was rough in that the assistant starter didn’t have Slew’s head straight when the gate opened. It didn’t matter he still won by 1 ¾ lengths. Watch race here.

The Preakness went smoothly and jockey Jean Cruguet saved him knowing the Belmont was three weeks away. He won by 1 ½ lengths but it could have been much more. Watch race here.

The Belmont Stakes brought with it many challenges, the biggest was a pari-mutuel clerk strike, which was important because his exercise rider, Mike Kennedy, was a member of that union. Legend has it that Turner sneaked Kennedy on the grounds in the trunk of his car. In fact, Kennedy just slumped down low and was in with no problem. The strike ended and Slew was able to train with his regular exercise rider. Slew won the Belmont by four lengths. Watch race here.

The colt needed some time off but the ownership group was persuaded by Marje Everett to run him in the Swaps Stakes at Hollywood Park in less than a month. He finished fourth, his first loss. Watch race here.

He ran seven times as 4-year-old, including two races against Triple Crown winner Affirmed. Slew won the first and both were beaten in the second.

Seattle Slew had a remarkable career as a stallion. His most notable being A.P. Indy and Slew O’ Gold.

He eventually retired and moved to Hill ‘n’ Dale Farm to live out his last days.

The Times story recounted this poignant moment on his final day:

Slew had a companion his last couple years, a black Labrador called Chet, named after Mickey Taylor's father.

“Slew didn't like dogs,” Mickey Taylor said. “If there was a dog in his stall he wasn't there long. But he was different with Chet.”

On May 7, Slew was slipping away. Mickey went to find Chet to bring him to the stall to see Slew, where Karen Taylor and his longtime groom Tom Wade were waiting.

“Slew is laying down in Karen's arms,” Mickey said. “Chet walks in and he looks up and they make contact, eye to eye. Slew raised up on his sternum. I turned Chet loose and he just stood there.”

Chet then went over and licked Slew, who reciprocated. They went nose to nose and licked each other again.

“Something passed between Slew and Chet,” Karen Taylor said. “It was like they were talking.”

Slew put his head down in Karen's lap, closed his eyes and passed away.

It was exactly 25 years to the day that Seattle Slew won the Kentucky Derby.

Jon White’s Belmont rankings

In case you forgot, Jon is a historian of the sport of horse racing and also does the morning line at Santa Anita. This is his breakdown of Saturday’s Belmont Stakes.

1. Justify (4-5 morning line). “I not only believe Justify is going to win the 150th running of the Belmont Stakes and become this country's 13th Triple Crown winner, I think there is a good chance he will do so by a comfortable margin.

“Many are of the opinion that the greatest performance in the history of American racing was Secretariat's phenomenal 31-length victory in the 1973 Belmont Stakes to complete a Triple Crown sweep. Secretariat was a big colt who thrived on Belmont Park's vast 1 1/2-mile oval. Justify is an even bigger colt who likewise should relish running on such a large oval with its sweeping turns.

“Justify's Hall of Fame trainer, Bob Baffert, said earlier this week that Justify stands 16 hands, 3 inches tall and ‘weighs like 1,270 pounds.’ When Secretariat was a 3-year-old, he was meticulously measured on Oct. 22 by Dr. Manuel Gilman, the official veterinarian at that time for the New York Racing Assn. tracks. Secretariat's height was 16 hands, 1/2-inch. He weighed 1,131 pounds.

“If Justify succeeds in the Belmont, he will be the first Triple Crown winner who did not race as a 2-year-old. If he is victorious in the Belmont, he and Seattle Slew would be the only two to win the Triple Crown with an unblemished record. Justify also would become only the second Triple Crown winner sold previously at public auction. Seattle Slew was a $17,500 yearling. Justify was a $500,000 yearling.

“The Belmont Stakes pace should be much better for Justify than it had been in the first two legs of the Triple Crown. NBC's Randy Moss has pointed out that no horse in the 144-year history of the Kentucky Derby won it after going the opening quarter-mile as fast as Justify did. Justify was slightly off the lead in a first quarter that was run in 22.24 seconds on a sloppy track. Justify splashed home a 2 1/2-length winner, with Good Magic finishing second. Good Magic was last year's Eclipse Award-winning 2-year-old male.

“The early pace was not as torrid in the Preakness. Justify ran the initial quarter in 23.11 seconds, again on a sloppy track. But while the Preakness tempo was not as rapid as it had been in the Derby, Justify nevertheless found himself embroiled in a prolonged tussle for the lead with Good Magic that continued all the way until deep stretch. After Justify finally put away Good Magic, he then had to hold off late challenges from Bravazo and Tenfold. While Justify won by only a half-length, it was to his credit that he got the job done without ever getting a breather at any point during the entire 1 3/16 miles.

“If, as expected, the early pace in the Belmont is not as fast as it was in the Derby or Preakness, Justify's opponents could be in big trouble.

“Of course, in the 1 1/2-mile Belmont, Justify is being asked to go farther than he ever has before. But so is everyone else in the race. While I would not say Justify's breeding is the greatest for a 1 1/2-mile race, the blood of numerous past Belmont Stakes winners is coursing through his veins, including Triple Crown winners Count Fleet (1943), Secretariat (1973) and Seattle Slew (1977). These Belmont Stakes winners also are in Justify's pedigree: American Flag (1925), Johnstown (1939), Bimelech (1940), Native Dancer (1953), Nashua (1955), Gallant Man (1957), Sword Dancer (1959), Damascus (1967) and A.P. Indy (1992).

“One concern I have is Justify was not the 2-year-old male champion. Six of the last seven Triple Crown winners — Count Fleet, Citation, Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Affirmed and American Pharoah —were the 2-year-old male champ.

“Justify also is being asked to defeat more opponents in the Belmont Stakes than any of the 12 Triple Crown winners. Justify is facing nine horses. Sir Barton defeated only two opponents in the 1919 Belmont, Gallant Fox three in 1930, Omaha four in 1935, War Admiral six in 1937, Whirlaway three in 1941, Count Fleet two in 1943, Assault six in 1946, Citation seven in 1948, Secretariat four in 1973, Seattle Slew seven in 1977, Affirmed four in 1978 and American Pharoah seven in 2015.

“Is Justify a cinch to win the Belmont Stakes? Certainly not. Spectacular Bid, one of the greatest thoroughbreds of all time, was thwarted in his bid for a Triple Crown sweep when he finished third as an overwhelming favorite in the 1979 Belmont. Smarty Jones’ only defeat in nine career starts came in the 2004 Belmont. Big Brown's lone loss in eight lifetime starts came in the 2008 Belmont.

“But while anything can happen in a horse race, I look for Justify to continue his winning ways in the Belmont Stakes and complete a sweep of the coveted Triple Crown. If it happens, Baffert will join the legendary Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons as the only trainers to win the Triple Crown twice. Fitzsimmons won the Triple Crown with Gallant Fox in 1930, then with Gallant Fox's son Omaha in 1935. Baffert won the 2015 Triple Crown with American Pharoah, who prevailed in the Belmont Stakes by an emphatic 5 1/2 lengths. Justify would be Baffert’s third Belmont Stakes winner. Point Given won the 2001 Belmont for Baffert in isolated splendor by 12 3/4 lengths.”

2. Hofburg (9-2). “He is by Tapit, who remarkably has sired Belmont Stakes winners Tonalist (2014), Creator (2016) and Tapwrit (2017). Hofburg encountered traffic trouble in the 20-horse Kentucky Derby, but was full of run in the stretch to finish seventh, then galloped out strongly after the finish. He has a Hall of Fame trainer in Bill Mott, who won the 2010 Belmont with Drosselmeyer.”

3. Vino Rosso (8-1). “In an epic renewal of the Belmont, Vino Rosso's sire, Curlin, lost by a head in 2007 to the filly Rags to Riches (who should be in the Hall of Fame). Vino Rosso finished ninth in the Kentucky Derby, but his three-length victory in the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct gives him a license to do well in the Belmont. Todd Pletcher trains Vino Rosso. Pletcher has won the Belmont three times (the aforementioned Rags to Riches, Palace Malice in 2013 and Tapwrit in 2017).”

4. Bravazo (8-1). “He rallied late with gusto to finish second in the Preakness. When Bravazo ran sixth in the May 5 Kentucky Derby, it actually was a pretty good effort due to a wide trip and the fact he had not raced since the March 24 Louisiana Derby. D. Wayne Lukas trains Bravazo. Lukas and Baffert are tied for most Triple Crown race victories by a trainer. They each have 14. Lukas has won the Belmont four times (Tabasco Cat in 1994, Thunder Gulch in 1995, Editor's Note in 1996 and Commendable in 2000).”

5. Tenfold (12-1). “By finishing a respectable third in the Preakness, this lightly raced son of two-time Horse of the Year Curlin showed that he certainly is not out of his league in the Belmont. The Preakness was only his fourth career start. Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen trains Tenfold. Asmussen won the 2016 Belmont with Creator.”

6. Blended Citizen (15-1). “He is the only horse in this year's Belmont Stakes to have raced at Belmont Park. Blended Citizen won the 1 1/8-mile Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont on May 12. American Pharoah is the lone Triple Crown winner who had not raced previously at Belmont Park, something Justify also is seeking to do this year.”

7. Free Drop Billy (30-1). “His worst races have been when they mattered the most. He has never finished worse than fourth except for when he ran ninth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile and 16th in the Kentucky Derby. Maybe he will finish third in the Belmont. Dale Romans, who trains Free Drop Billy, has sent out a horse to finish third in the Belmont four times (Nolan's Cat in 2005 at odds of 20-1, First Dude in 2010 at 5-1, Keen Ice in 2015 at 17-1 and Medal Count in 2017 at 24-1).

8. Noble Indy (30-1). “A candidate to be a pace factor in the Belmont. He won the Louisiana Derby, but then finished 17th in the Kentucky Derby. Noble Indy, like Vino Rosso, is trained by Pletcher.”

9. Restoring Hope (30-1). “This colt, like Justify, is trained by Baffert. Restoring Hope finished third in the Wood Memorial and 12th in the Pat Day Mile at Churchill Downs. While a Belmont victory by Restoring Hope unquestionably would rank among the biggest upsets in the history of the sport, it is not out of the question for him to get into the superfecta at huge odds.”

10. Gronkowski (12-1). “He's making his United States debut and first start on dirt after racing on turf and synthetic surfaces in England. While there no doubt there will be those who put some money on him solely because he's named after the accomplished tight end for the New England Patriots, it seems to me this is an arduous task for the equine Gronk.”

(Note: Thanks so much for Jon’s weekly analysis since the middle of the Derby prep season. They have truly been a work of educational art every week.)

A couple of Belmont reads

--If you missed it in The Times, there is a story about the mystique surrounding the 1 ½-mile distance of the Belmont Stakes from those who have won the race. Read it here.

--An angle on Bob Baffert you haven’t read. He gets mistaken for pro wrestler Ric Flair. Read it here.

More from the Belmont

We can’t be everywhere, so with the help of the NYRA Press Office here’s a quick spin around what’s going on at the backstretch.

--Justify made his first appearance over the Belmont Park surface on Thursday morning and he looked great going about 1 3/8 miles. “He just floated over this track,” Baffert said. “He was happy. He was aggressive. He was just getting over the track really well. He couldn't have looked any better coming around there. He looks like a horse that is flourishing.”

--Dale Romans, trainer of Free Drop Billy, found himself in a position to help someone and he came through. He was at Tuesday’s draw at Citi Field and stayed for the game. He left his seat in the left-field stands and came upon a woman choking. We’ll let him describe what happened.

“I came up the back of the steps toward the rest room and this lady and her daughter are there. She's kind of bent over a table, one of those little things around the post where you put your condiments and stuff. You could tell she was in distress. Her mother keeps telling the security guard, ‘Get somebody, help her, get somebody.’ I walked over and said, ‘Do you want the Heimlich?’ And she shook her head yes. She couldn't speak.“I grabbed her and two or three pops and she got rid of what was in her throat, got up and she was fine. She might not have died but it definitely got her out of distress. She might have died; she couldn't breathe. It was interesting, to say the least. Maybe I get a little divine intervention Saturday.”

--Gronkowski, the horse not the man, did a 1 ½-mile gallop on Thursday morning. “He’s going good and looks terrific,” said trainer Chad Brown. “He looked fine [Thursday].” Gronkowski drew post six in the 10-horse field. “I like the post and we’ll see what happens going into the race,” Brown said.

--Hofburg’s dam, Soothing Touch, has had some success producing horses for the turf. But trainer Bill Mott elected to keep Hofburg, the second favorite, on the dirt.

“He always worked very well on the dirt,” Mott said. “As far as I can remember, we only breezed him once on the turf and it probably wasn't as good as his dirt works had been. So, we went back to the dirt with him and that's where we've been ever since.”

--Blended Citizen, running for trainer Doug O’Neill, last ran in the 1 1/8 mile Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont, which he won. “We were always hoping to run him in a longer race, and this is it,” said Leandro Mora, O’Neill’s assistant. “So if he doesn't do any good, at least we tried it. We got the shot.”

Santa Anita review

Thursday’s feature had a sad ending when 1-9 favorite Amada Rafaela was pulled up after the half-mile pole and did not finish. Jeremy Balan of the Bloodhorse, but in New York to report on the Belmont, reported that she was euthanized after an unspecified injury. She debuted on May 5 with an 8 ¼-length win. She is trained by Baffert and was ridden by Martin Garcia. It was an allowance race for 3-year-old fillies going six furlongs.

Best Of Me won the race by 2 ¼ lenhths for trainer Peter Miller and jockey Martin Pedroza. She paid $32.20 to win.

Santa Anita preview

Friday’s pre-Belmont card isn’t going to attract the kind of crowd that Saturday’s 11-race card will, that’s for sure. It’s meager pickings with two allowance races, both on the turf. In fact, half the eight-race card is on the turf. Three of the races are restricted to Cal-breds and three races are claimers.

The feature is probably the sixth, an allowance/optional claimer with 10 horses going 6 ½ furlongs down the hillside turf course. The purse is $63,000, or $2,000 more than an almost identically written eighth race that is restricted to Cal-bred fillies and mares.

What’s the slogan? “It pays to buy a Cal-bred.” Uh, not always. I’m sure there is a nuance in the condition that explains it. Or is it a case of not-equal pay for equal work? (Just having fun here, folks.)

Here are the field sizes, in order: 6, 5, 9, 7, 8, 10, 12, 10.

Bob Ike’s SA play of the day

SIXTH RACE: No. 2 Cimpl Man (7-2)

Recent $62,500 claim by John Sadler, this gelding ran third to similar in his most recent and comes back at the same allowance/optional claiming level while adding blinkers. His last win came over the downhill layout in October but we are expecting a top effort today.

Thursday’s result: Reign On ($4.80) got hammered to 7-5 and wired the field for a comfortable win in the third race.

Los Alamitos weekend preview

This weekly segment is in the hands of Orlando Gutierrez, marketing and media maven at Los Al. So, the floor is yours, Orlando.

“Start Somethin Bad, Duck Dash N Go, and Maggie Durant, all stakes winners at Los Alamitos in 2017, will face off in the allowance feature for distaffers at 330 yards on Friday night. First post for the eight-race program is 7 p.m. On Saturday, the grandstand and clubhouse at Los Alamitos Race Course will open at 8 a.m. on Belmont Stakes day, while the Vessels Club will open at 9 a.m.

“There are two horses with Los Alamitos ties in action in the Belmont. The big favorite Justify trained at Los Alamitos before traveling to Santa Anita to continue his training prior to his racing debut, while Restoring Hope debuted in a maiden special weight race at Los Alamitos on Dec. 17. And of course, Baffert, who trains Justify and Restoring Hope, was a leading quarter-horse trainer at Los Alamitos in the 1980s.

“The quarter-horse action on Saturday will be headed by the sophomore debuts of Chance To Fire and Unblemished, a pair of Grade 1 Golden State Million Futurity finalists last year. The fourth-place finisher in the Golden State Million, Chance To Fire also finished third in the Grade 1 Ed Burke Million Futurity and second in the Governor’s Cup Futurity for Cal-breds. He was named the 2017 Pacific Coast Quarter Horse Racing Assn. champion 2-year-old gelding. First post for the nine-race program is also 7 p.m.

“Los Alamitos will have an 11-race program on Sunday night with the entire card being dedicated to the trials to the Grade 1, $1,060,000 Ed Burke Million Futurity. Ninety-two juveniles will be in action with the horses with the 10 fastest times in the 350-yard trials moving on to the Ed Burke final on Sunday, June 24. Wicked Affair, Striver, and Ms Ko, the top three finishers in the Robert Adair Kindergarten Futurity on May 20, will top the Ed Burke trials. Kindergarten winner Wicked Affair will start from post four in the sixth race, while Striver has drawn post three in the seventh. Ms Ko will be part of trial number five. Monster Hand and Powerful Favorite, half-brothers out of the top broodmare Remember Me Rose, are among the others looking for a spot in the Ed Burke on Sunday.”

Ed Burgart’s LA play of the day

EIGHTH RACE: No. 8 Richy Rich (9-2)

He gets his preferred distance of 330 yards and ran much better than his last 100-yard fourth-place line indicates when he was loaded with energy past the wire after getting bumped around sharply early. He is only making his third start since February and draws a nice post. I suggest a win bet and exacta boxes of 8-3 and 8-5 with Twisted Sifter and Down For Debate respectively.
