Yeah, it is irrelevant now. The biggest reason I have so much respect for Smarty is for how well he did in the Belmont considering my thoughts of him being best as a miler.

AND ny IS ANY BETTER?? cease to amaze me snipe..Philly has alot of good in it, someting know it alls like urself that have never been to philly, overlook..pathetic

I've been to Philly about a dozen times, decent city although the part where Drexel is is a little sketchy. I was commenting on the fact that you were a huge Smarty goo-goo so it didn't surprise me you were from Philly.

I think that the other jocks would be criticized no matter what they did. I think that if they would have taken their horses back, people would have criticized them for giving Smarty an easy lead.

I'm very sursprised that anyone would be angry at Solis or Bailey. I think that there are a number of things that got Smarty beat in the Belmont. The fast pace was a factor. The distance was a factor. The fact that the race was his 5th race in 11 weeks was a huge factor. The fact that Elliot asked the horse for everything and won the Preakness by 11 lengths, instead of winning by 5 lengths under a strangle-hold was a huge factor. Elliot made a huge mistake winning the Preakness by 11 lengths. I think he pretty much squeezed the lemon dry.

I think that Smarty was a great horse. I think that if even one of those factors that I mentioned would have been different, I think that Smarty could have won the race.

i DON'T HAVE ANYTHING Against u snipe..I reacted to ur reply in a childish manner..I apologize for being a crumbum..Just looking for someone to fortify my complaint and when i read ur post, i lost all rationale.. i know its a dead issue, but in my eyes its an unsolved mystery..Guess i'll be waiting for Bailey's deathbed confession

By the way, I have no idea where that guy got the impression I owned horses. Even I wouldn't lie about that.

Must have been Gallop Racer.

My stable there is second to none!

Hell, I still have the original Playstation. Don't play very often anymore...but I spent one winter glued to it about five or six years ago.

it woudve been alot cooler if they made it somewhat difficult..And Tom Durkin with his race calls was horrific.. I was looking for real horses, not just a handful of them..all in all, weak, but a good foundation to build future racing games with

There is a new one for Playstation 2. DQs and more races. Don't have it but I hear it's great.

I see he took over Precious Kitten for Ramsey.

He may need that money back soon.

i used to stop my horse out of the gate and spot the other horses a whole 1/4 mile than just press him..so ridiculous..i expected the world with this game and all i got was a game that stunk like triple overtime..

By the way, next time you see Jose Cuevas tell him I send my regards.
