Ha. Good one!
I did see IC at Vinery in 2000 though, when he was a five year old.
He was pretty much the only stallion left at the farm, as most of the others had gone south for the winter breeding season. When I asked why he didn't ship, they let me see him and he looked like he was a dying horse. They weren't too sure he was going to survive.
I doubt Slew becoming a wobbler in his old age had an effect on Vindication, but who knows, maybe you are right!
He probably really was one of the all time great 2yos.
