The one and only...... Seattle Slew.
Certainly not the prettiest name there is, but he was a winner.

Qualifications: Share one fact about him. (Other than winning the triple crown)
End Date: Tomorrow. April 8th

Owner: Makani Black
Name: Seattle Slew
Breed: Thoroughbred
Height: 15.2
Gender: Stallion
Age: 5 years
Color: Brown
Foals: 0
Fact:The name Seattle Slew was chosen by Karen, owner of Seattle Slew, to reflect their background in the Northwest, as well as, their logging business where the old timers had sloughs which were slides or chutes that were used so logs would go down the river. Another reason was because their friend Jim Hill was from South Florida where there were pools of water known as sloughs. Karen didn't like the spelling slough but preferred the look of Slew. She also liked the alliteration using letters in succession like SS in Seattle Slew as was done previously with LL for their stakes winner Lexington Laugh. [I had to do that one since you mentioned his name not being the prettiest.

I have a book on race horses. I was packing it but I kept it out. I remembered reading on his name and picked it.
