LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Seattle Slew, who won the 1977 Triple Crown and became one of racing's greatest sires, died in his stall Tuesday at the relatively advanced age of 28.
The big, black stallion's death came on the 25th anniversary of his Kentucky Derby victory. He followed by winning the Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes to sweep the sport's most prestigious series.
Seattle Slew was the only living Triple Crown winner. Affirmed, who became the 11th and last Triple Crown winner in 1978, died in January 2001 at 26.
Slew died in his sleep at Hill 'n' Dale Farm, where he recently was moved after a second operation on his spine, the farm said.
