Interesting read.
"When the three-year-old Triple Crown winner,
Affirmed, met the best older horse around twice in the fall of 1978, he simply could not deal with what
Seattle Slew brought to the party. Frankly, Affirmed was no match. Taking advantage of being the older one the following year, Affirmed repelled several advances made by the hotshot youngster,
Spectacular Bid, in the ‘79 Jockey Club Gold Cup. The result was closer than Affirmed had come to Slew the year before, but still the older horse proved best."
