is this not an "Montana v. Marino" or "Rice v. Moss" argument... in my mind, no doubt that Moss and Marino were better talents, but Montana and Rice have the rings. Regardless of what the Bid did, he didn't win the Triple Crown, and he'll always have that held against him...

If Alydar was born in Seattle Slew's crop - Seattle Slew wouldn't have won a single race in the triple crown series.

I assume Sir Barton is better than Kelso and Dr. Fager.

Yeah, but, Slew beat Affirmed and Affirmed beat the Bid, so Slew must be better than the Bid!

Hey Sal, I know you think Bernardini was better than AP Indy, but was AP Indy better than Slew?

Seattle Slew at age 4 - would have killed A. P. Indy at age 3.

In terms of who the better 3yo was - it's a tough call but probably A. P. Indy

Slew wasn't running good numbers - was facing miserable competition - and he was pretty one dimensional.

Here is Slew's attempt in California at age 3 when they tried to rate him back and got him boxed in ...
