He retired with a 14-3 record and earnings of nearly $1.21 million. He was honored in his home state with Governor Julian Carroll (b. 1931) declaring November 30 Seattle Slew Day in Kentucky, and later was given a fourth Eclipse Award, this time as older male champion. (Affirmed narrowly beat him out for Horse of the Year, an honor never denied a reigning Triple Crown winner.) For all his triumphs on the racetrack, Seattle Slew was nearly as successful in the breeding shed. The price of one of his shares, originally $300,000, had nearly tripled by the time he retired. He was scheduled to be bred to 45 mares in his first season at stud, and the results of that crop and ones to follow only drove his value higher. His first foals began racing in 1982 and by 1983 their earnings had reached $2 million. That year his son Slew o' Gold won the Eclipse Award as champion 3-year-old.
