that is so nice of angel to say that.i was there that day for the jcgc and now i am at peace. i have always blame him for the loss.now i am free!!!Originally Posted by slewobarney
he's a hoot. I love the story about Slew o Gold and Jean C. LOL funny.
Thanks for posting this. What an eyeful of a horse Slew o' Gold was. He was an even better horse than he showed that year--he had hoof problems after the Whitney and ran with quarter cracks and tender frogs the rest of the year. We bred a mare to him years ago and we visited him many times at Three Chimneys. What a nice treat to hear Cordero talking about him and see him winning the Whitney in a gallop.
lol. Yeah. Even funnier when you think about how Cordero got the job on Slew as well. Jean C didn't appreciate Slew nearly as much as Cordero did.

Nobody could race ride like Angel. He'd ride his horse and every other horse in the field.
Yes he could!
Holla-hope all is well in Kentucky!

the last time crouqet rode seattle slew cordero beat him at the medowlands with dr paches.i was there that night.
How did he get the job on Slew?
Cruget lost his job after Slew lost the Patterson. I believe Jean said slew was "short" or something like that. Don't know if that was "why" he lost the job but Cordero got the mount after saying some very flattering things about him after the race.
And the rest is history....
I remember meeting Cordero in 94 at Saratoga. Upon striking up a brief conversation with him, of course I had to ask him who the best horse he ever rode was. He just gave me a "are you kidding?" look and said something like "you should know who that was". I knew. LOL. (Unlike Cruget, who says Hoist The Flag was better than Slew).

I remember a remark the Monk made after one of SOG's 4 yo races....He ride like a Cadillac. Just like his daddy.
Cordero is my all time favorite jock. Saratoga was his place. He really loved it there and so did the fans. He seemed to have a smile on his face the entire meet every year. The Spa gave him a break from the downstate hecklers who could be meriless at times.
Your don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.....RZ
I'm sure HTF was extremely talented, but I always loved Cordero for loving Slew (in any case, he was my favorite jock when I first started getting into racing; I would root for every horse he rode, lol).
