Should Gary Stevens have held Victory Gallop up to let Real Quiet win? Now I am not saying I agree with what Solis and Bailey did, but just stating that why should we be talking about it still? Smarty was a very good horse. He just didn't win the triple crown.

My points weren't if SJ was great horse or not, I have not interest in arguing that.....it's more of the problems with that race and why it's talked about the way it is. For instance, your SC explanation about them going wide...that a good ride to try and WIN....see my point?
I'm purely devastated that Affirmed, Slew, Secretariat, et. al. weren't great just lucky....LOL, The Bid had REALLY bad luck, that darn safety pin.
