Talk:Seattle Slew: Difference between revisions
not an expert, but id say that aside from articles on the races themselves, and the sport itself, this must be at least high importance |
Reverted good faith edits by Mercurywoodrose: No, he is significant in the USA, but isn't the Darley Arabian or as major as Secretariat - but maybe ask at WP Horse racing if TC winners - all 11 should be "high" or if we consider on case... |

The Story
Dick Gordon's The Story interviewed Paula Turner on a program broadcast on May 6, 2011 whom is stated to be the trainer for this horse. Why is she not listed?
Something's Amiss
Something's Wrong with the Color heading in the infobox. Help! --Airplaneman (talk) 03:42, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Trivia
Sorry I can't help with the infobox, but in tightening up the prose I removed the following from the article.
The horse was used as a metaphor for a divorce attonrey in the 15th season of Law & Order. In popular culture, Seattle Slew is referenced in the 1997 comedy film Liar Liar. At the climax of the divorce hearing, Jim Carrey's character, the lawyer Fletcher Reede, successfully argues that it does not matter that his client, Samantha Cole (Jennifer Tilly), "has been ridden more times than Seattle Slew" because she was under 18 at the time of signing the prenuptial agreement.
As someone who was jumping up and down on a clubhouse seat at Belmont in '77, I can say that such a nice horse has no need for cruft. Wi2g 18:48, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Not Irony
The last paragraph says, "Ironically, Smarty Jones (the first undefeated Kentucky Derby winner since Seattle Slew) now occupies his predecessor's former stall." This is not irony, which the Oxford American defines as "a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result." It is simply an interesting fact that Smarty Jones occupies the stall formerly occupied by Seattle Slew. Nicmart (talk) 00:48, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
