1977. When he died in 2002 he was the last living Triple Crown winner.
1977-he is my favorite Triple Crown winner Secretariat won it 4 years previous and Affirmed won the next year
Seattle Slew was undefeated his 2yo season and in all three races of the Triple Crown. However, after the Triple Crown races he was in fact defeated in his next start, in the Swap Stakes. He finished a disappointing fourth, 16 lengths behind J.O Tobin who won by 8 lengths in 1:58 which was less than a half a second off the American record for the distance at that time. After his loss, rest and physical problems would sideline Seattle Slew for almost a year.
