Seattle Slew was a great racehorse and a great stallion who lives on through Bernardini. Slew gave us Slew O' Gold, Landaluce, Swale, and A.P. Indy, but he never gave us another Seattle Slew. Haskin is most likely speaking the truth in terms of the odds. We live in a free country and it is certainly not libel to say what he said.
