Again, maybe you are right. Maybe what we saw that day at keeneland is the "real" sin min. But based what on ive seen, that performance i suspect was just another bizarre keeneland deal.
He wouldn't have lost to Cause To Believe if the jock wouldn't have let SM run into the rail several times. He lost all of his momentum, and when he tried to rerally, it was too late...the wire was there. I personally think that SM is a very talented horse, although the Derby may have ruined him like it did Keyed Entry. That is just my opinion. I hope God decides to give him his wings back...
