I never realized that he broke through the gate prior to this performance.

This was a great last impression for "Slew". It really showed his heart and determination. A lot of handicappers and historians were not overly impressed with him winning the triple crown. It was this race that sealed his greatness. This is the race that everyone remembers, even in defeat...
