Revolution- Don't list the 'Zapper as good. He was great... He was an f'n machine. That's why he went out on top. It's just too bad we live in an age of ****in pussies who won't race their horses after they win a single Grade 1... The stud $$$ will come. Another bad thing about Barbaro's leg, is that just slams home this paranoid theory that owners have that "you better cash in on the stud $$$ now before your horse gets hurt and is worthless".
Sorry, kinda went off on a tangent. But what I was getting at there is horses don't race long enough anymore to know if they're truly great over time. Some have "great" spurts. But that's all they're capable of proving anymore because they don't race long enough and their starts are so infrequent in between.
OH YEAH- SORRY FOR THE CAPS, BUT FOR THE MAIN PART OF THIS DISCUSSION-
I believe Bailey did try to run Smarty into the ground by rushing Eddington to the lead. But! Smarty still has to beat him, learn to rate, run his own race. So it still falls on Smarty to find a way to win.
