Wow!!! I have an '84 version of Kentucky Tavern with Swale. A friend who owned a liquor store back then gave it to me. Kind of chintzy bar wall type stuff, but I love it.

Chinty or not, I love bar wall stuff. Ferdinand's Kentucky Tavern Mirror is hung in the same grouping as the Kentucky Tavern Mirrors of Unbridled and Winning Colors.


All are to the left of Jean Cruguet autographed Belmont finish line photo with him aboard Seattle Slew. Slew's Preakness winner's circle photo is there, too. As is an obscure shot from the infield of Slew winning the Kentucky Derby with The Twin Spires in the background.

And to the right of the Slew photographs is a collage of real $2 tickets on Seattle Slew to win each race of his Triple Crown.




Changing paces, I was living in South Carolina when Woody Stephens with his South Carolina connections was dealing publicly with the passing of Swale.

I googled to see if I could find any photos showing Easy Goer's alleged attempted bite (no luck, though some article mentioned it) but I also found this neat article from 1989 on the naming of Sunday Silence:

The ending made me laugh.
