The Greatest Loss There Ever Was

Thanks for posting this; I get chills whenever I watch this clip. I'm sorry Slew lost, but I'm glad the race happened because he finally got the respect he deserved. I can't even comprehend fractions like 45 and 1:09 and change for a 1 1/2 race - Slew just didn't want to lose.
