another great losing effort was from empire maker in the derby. i always said he should have never run with that bad foot, but he would have won imo had he not been hindered both training and running with that bruise.
then there's genuine risks preakness. she was as game as they come.

I think you know your stuff! Empire Maker impressed me in his losing Derby effort. Genuine Risk was my first Derby collection ever. I never said"I told you so!" to the chauvinist naysayers. Seattle Slew (obviously) is my favorite horse of alltime. Words desert me when I speak of him. I agree with you when you say he is one in a million/billion. In his presence, at the track or at the farm, he left me in awe. I do not think it is trite to say we shall never see his like again.
