After They Gave Slew To John Hertler he became An Ever Better older horse but always had a Foot problem And it's questionable if he was ever 100% After That But Regardless slews Heart And Will won him the Woodward stakes Twice The Marlboro cup And the jockey Club Twice, He Won The Whitney, 2nd In The Travers, 2nd In The Belmont stakes And Sired Very Good Horses The Likes Of 36Red Who Was A Grade 1 winner The Gotham And The Wood Memorial. Slew of Gold Was A Great He Was So Tough In The Barn That The Assistant To John Hertler Used To Walk Slew With The Racing Whip In His Left Hand. He was always a hyper horse And my favorite horse. All Heart And Will. Salute To Slew Of Gold A Great Racehorse. Sired By Seattle Slew
