My first equine hero was Seattle Slew. I was so fortunate, because even though Slew nearly died in the fall of his three-year-old year, the Taylors were sporting enough to bring him back as a healthy four-year-old. At that point, the Triple Crown winner was able to prove his greatness. Darley should have taken an example from Karen and Mickey Taylor who let the fans enjoy a mature Slew. 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.

haskin is absolutely speaking the truth regarding the odds of bernardini producing one like him. plenty of others have tried and failed over the years. just read every week about horses moving from ky to other states. fee reductions, etc.
bernardini starts at 6 figures...certainly no guarantee he'll finish that way!!
