Was it a catastrophe when Smarty chased Jerry Bailey and Eddington? I think the only one that can get hurt here is the horse. He is going to try to bottom out the field going in to the first turn of a mile an half race is a crazy idea. I just hope something bad doesn't happen to the horse. I also think that you are correct about anyone having anything negative to say about the Street Sense camp. I do not understand the whole dramatic story line about the big three running against each other in the Belmont. I guess that they are trying to keep the national audience captivated for one more race. But who are they fooling, the rest of the nation that watches a couple of races a year turned thier sets of after Curlin won by a nose and probably will not even watch the Belmont. If they need a story, why don't they just try to promote the rest of the races that day. The Belmont will probably be the worst betting race of the day. But there will be a load of talented horses and good racing that day which should be promoted, which would be good for the game. If that isn't the story they want, maybe they will get lucky and Pletcher will enter Rags into the Belmont.
