Really? What are you looking at?
It must not be videos of his races.

I know he got a great trip in the Florida Derby but he did run fast (relative to this crop) there and I like a horse that puts up a bigger figure at a mile and an eighth on the stretchout to a mile and a quarter. I think the long works since his last race will have him fit for the mile and a quarter and in an atrocious collection of horses in this Derby, why not him? I don't really like his chances to win but do think he has as good a shot to hit the board as anyone not named Big Brown or Pyro and he is obviously going to spice up your tri a hell of a lot more than those two would.

i don't understand why he keeps getting lauded for his supposed fitness level. i'm assuming all the horses will be as fit as their trainers can get them, so on that playing field i'd think they'd be level.
i think there are too many others with more pluses in their column.

It's amazing what people can come up with to defend the indefensible.

Smooth Air is a complete non-contender.

I tend to wait for races to be drawn and pps to come out. I'm funny that way.

Understandable, but it seems pretty easy to **** on others' opinions while taking no stand of your own.

smooth air has a ok shot to be in the top 4 big brown on the other hand has nothing to do with this ..his merit is the speed he has shown..and the way hes done nothing wrong yet.save be involved with ieah....but i cant fault the horse ..hes innocent......
