Does anyone know who was the oldest living Derby winner ever in the modern era? If so, how old?

Gee. Seattle Slew died younger than Genuine Risk ... He was 28, she was 31 ...
Count Fleet at 33or 34 might have been the oldest ....

Well put.



My common denominator for Seattle Slew and Genuine Risk is that I had bets on each of their Kentucky Derby wins.

That means I'm old and might be absent minded on occasion..

This is a weird question.

It can be construed a few ways.

Are you asking which derby winner that is still alive is the oldest?

Are you asking that in the modern era, what's the oldest age a derby winner made it too before dying?

Or are you asking how old the oldest horse was when he/she won the derby?
