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.
Thank you! A voice of reason.

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!!
