Summary

Seattle Slew rose to the ranks of sports celebrity with his sweep of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont Stakes in 1977. Together with his youthful owners, he typified the spirit of the era. Today, he remains the only horse to win the Triple Crown while undefeated. Author Dan Mearns, a longtime racing journalist and editor, explores the life of this magnificent animal who proved a horse could come from a "blue-collar" background and still make it to the pinnacle of the racing world. And Seattle Slew took a whole generation of devoted fans along for the ride. Book jacket.
