If you do, for starters, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga_hw...feature=relmfu
I actually agree with you that he would've won with ease w/o Trinniberg.

I'm just saying that it is not out of the realm of possibility that M Smith would've looked back and seen Hansen & TCI so far behind his mount that he would maybe feel his horse was running off and that he would feel the need to pull on the reigns in the backstretch to save some gas for that extra furlong.

Monday morning quarterback stuff, i know. Just a question i was running through my head earlier is all. I see both sides of the 'argument'.
