The poignant question of the day...Can Smarty Jones go down? At 2-5 I am looking elsewhere!!!

[RIOSHILL]

Can Rock Hard 10 bridge the gap and show some more early foot? Allowing the favorite to go out alone will spell disaster for those trying to beat the chalk here. All I know from experience is that at 2-5, there are a multitude of things that can go wrong. Hence, I am going to try to beat him with Rock Hard 10. Will I win? Probably not. However, 2-5 doesn't buy a nice dinner. Good luck to all!!!

Will be keeping an eye on the show pool, one misstep by SJ. could produce some mega numbers!!!

Good luck with your choice!

Eddington has the best shot to upset Smarty! Looking for Purge to push and soften Smarty for Eddington to take over in Midstretch!

I see purge running a huge race. Will he beat Smarty?? Well thats why they will run the race. As far as betting the race, I will have a w/p on purge and play the pick 4, thats where you will get value.

 

[trytrytry]

he can get beat fro sure. Im very worried about the 1 1/2. That is like having to run hard downo two Churchill Downs strecthes not just one. A horse with this many starts this year on a new surface he has not been on before. I really hope he gets it but I see value playing against him. I think he either wins or finishes 4th or worse. I dont think just one horse is going to step up and beat Smarty at his best. Either Smarty does not have a good day and hes off the board or he wins by 5 lenghts.

Keep in mind since 1979...........the last FIVE Preakness horses that have gone off less than even money.............HAVE LOST!

 

[JimFiestSux]

If this horse wins he better retire cause there are other horses who can beat this horse!Its just this crop hes racing against are only a decent crop! If he wins this triple crown he can't be compared to the past great ones cause there is no real threat here! These horses are mediocre at best! Break the track record or come close a few times than I'll say hes one of the greatest! Never racing on this surface I look for this surface to eat him up!

What I dont like about the rock is that Stevens did not come back to ride this horse

is it because he thinks the tank is empty

 

[NICKYTHEFISH]

Best bet on that race...................none

I don't understand why everybody is trying to force a bet on this race.Just pass.I will not bet it because I do think he will win and want to see him win.

Look elseware Belmont's card on Saturday looks great.

10th race #6 Millenium Dragon 10-1 ML

Fishhead i think you meant BELMONT horses.

Don't try to compare Smarty's times to Secretariat's, track surfaces aren't the same as they were then.

 

[Redneckman]

Smarty Jones is a great horse, and will win this by at least 5 lengths, unless something really weird happens like an injury, jockey falling off, or a horse inside of him taking him way wide or something. Smarty deserves to be 1-5 in my opinion.

 

[RIOSHILL]

I hope someone listened. My problem was that I picked the 1,2, and 5.

Hope someone had the Zito.
