Sharon, thanks for posting that list of winners. I'm surprised not to find the name "Man O' War" there. He's so famous that I was sure he had been a triple crown winner. He was a Derby winner, wasn't he?

Re: "slough" and "slew" and the famous stallion's name, I used to think he was "slew/slough" as in a small, muddy estuary. Was he "slew" as in "Samson slew ...Philistines with the jawbone of an ass?" I'd guess he wasn't "slew" as in "slewfoot." Anyone know?

Anyway, to paraphrase Charlotte's Web, "SOME HORSE!"
