My Favorite Racehorse: Seattle Slew with  

I totally agree. This horse had personality. He was great and he wanted everybody to know he was great

Even the best you can't put through too many changes,needed the race also

I’ve heard a lot of great comments under this video but this takes the cake. Round Table was a real nice horse brilliant on both surfaces and the few times he did loose were against some interesting opponents like Hakuchikara the first Japanese horse to win an American race and good ol Clem. They don’t make ‘em like around Table anymore probably top 5 for best American Grass horse with John Henry

@@SketchyTheHorseGuy As good as Seattle Slew was, he simply did not have the talent required to win anywhere close to the number of races that Round Table could. After three years of racing, Round Table had 34 victories vs. only 14 for Slew. Round Table finished his career with 43 wins in just four years. He also set 16 track, US and World Records, carried between 130-136 pounds to victory 17 times. ran 1 1/'4 miles in under 2 minutes five times. If they somehow could have entered Seattle Slew against Round Table in 50 races in three years, on tracks and surfaces all around the country, my money would be on Round Table to win more of those.

@@sl-rt5kv Horse racing is horse racing so there is no telling if Round Table would ever beat Seattle Slew or if Seattle Slew would beat Round Table they raced in completely different eras too It would be easier to compare a horse from 2023-1980 than it from 1980-1950s That is how much racing changed in those years

@@Empireofracing2023*there is no telling if Round Table would ever beat Seattle Slew or if Seattle Slew would beat Round Table* Absolutely. On any given day Seattle Slew could beat Round table and Round Table could beat Seattle Slew. After all, they both lost to lesser horses. My comparison involves the sheer ability of these two horses to win races. There is little doubt that Round Table was capable of winning more. Seattle Slew only won 14 races racing from ages two through four whereas Round Table won 34 times from racing at the same ages and 43 times in his four-year career. There is no evidence that Seattle Slew was capable of winning anywhere close to that many races while competing so often with so little rest. The bottom line is Slew never came close. *It would be easier to compare a horse from 2023-1980 than it from 1980-1950s That is how much racing changed in those years* Round Table ran his last race 17 years before Seattle Slew ran his first race. There is no evidence that horse racing changed more in that 17 year time span then it did in the 43 years that elasped between 2023 and 1980 as you claim. I suspect the opposite is true. Also, many of the race times that Round Table recorded would be considered outstanding in any era.
