What the Nation is saying about Bates Motel...

Remembering … Slew O’ Gold

Before he ever ran, Slew O’ Gold was destined for greatness. He was a great looking son of the incomparable Seattle Slew and his dam was Alluvial, a daughter of Buckpasser who had already produced the top runner, Coastal. Most horses with these type of looks and bloodlines seldom live up to the loft...Read More

humphrey · An amazing looking specimen it is too bad that the connections ruined has last run by being their typical hypocritcal selves. While all year long ranting about other horses using Bute, this one had a tender quarter crack (which is obvious when you observe his hanging down the lane in the BC Classic) and their subsequently Overdosing him with that SAME medication to the point that he was very ill for several weeks after that last race.....Horse was MUCH MUCH classier than any of the connections, but once you look around (Bid was another) that is a common finding. · 877 days ago ·

ErnieMunick · Best paddock horse I ever saw (George Foreman staredown), though obviously nowhere near the talent of the legendary father. We all knew he had foot problems, but last year Cordero told me that the physical problems were even worse than we knew (no detalis provided). Thanks for remembering, Brian. One of my favorites... · 876 days ago ·

MichaelArndt · was lucky enough to be at the wire for the first BC Classic, to travel to Belmont to see he and Bates Motel get upset by Highland Blade, and in the end to get to spend 15 mins. with him in his paddock in the last years of his life. He was a classy SOB. right to the end. · 876 days ago ·

slewobarney · Slew O' Gold was my favorite horse. To this day, his loss in the inaugural Breeder's Cup Classic remains my most disappointing racing moment (non tragic). I have an Anthony Alonso signed and framed print of S O' G On the Way to Victory in the 84 JCGC. Thank you, Brian, for remembering my favorite horse, by writing a very nice article.

zatt · Thank you slewobarney, I was there for the 84 JCGC. It was just about as dominant as a horse could be. · 855 days ago ·
