Hell, I still have the original Playstation. Don't play very often anymore...but I spent one winter glued to it about five or six years ago.

There is a new one for Playstation 2. DQs and more races. Don't have it but I hear it's great.

Play the tape and watch Birdstone. He was motoring right along during the fast mid fractions. Actually starting gaining on the far turn. A slower pace and Smarty would have had to fight Birdstone earlier. Birdstone didn't get left behind during those fractions.

I don't believe that's a fight Smarty would have won. A protracted duel with a well trained, well rested, and well bred horse ridden by Edgar Prado at Belmont. Birdstone would have hooked him earlier and the late fractions would have been faster. And I believe the result would have been the same.

The time was right at 2:27. A very solid Belmont time. Better than Afleet Alex ran -- far better.

It came out back in May as Gallop Racer 2006. They changed a few things around but IMO it's the best in the series thus far. They've also added recent horses such as Smarty, Ghostzapper, and Ashado to the legends like Secretariat, Slew, Bid, etc (albeit under fake names of course); but this year they let you rename any horse in the game so you can fix that.
