This has been up for over two hours now and still no one has mocked the incredible stupidity of it.

I feel like turning my login back over to PG '85 for good.

Had Smith put her to an all-out drive she might have been able to run 1/5th of a second faster.

It's the same type of complete stupidity as those who felt Rachel Alexandra would have run any faster in the Oaks or Mother Goose had Borel hit her with the whip instead of "gearing her down" the whole stretch run.
