Description
In 1976 Jean Cruguet rode the two-year-old colt Seattle Slew to victory in the Champagne Stakes. The following year he achieved racing immortality aboard Seattle Slew. They won the Wood Memorial Stakes and the Flamingo Stakes enroute to winning the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes, thereby capturing the prestigious Triple Crown. In a move still written about today, with 20 yards to go to the finish line in the Belmont Stakes, Cruguet stood up in the stirrups, raised his right arm over his head, and jubilantly gave the crowd a victory salute by waving his whip in the air. This Product Includes: Authentic Autographed Item, Certificate of Authenticity, Tamper Resistent Holograms or Labels, Personal Player/Agent Hologram (when available).
