Here is the replay.

Remember Bailey on Eddington...that subtle pressure just took enough out of him in the stretch for Birdstone to run on by.

This is just my opinion but had Bailey ridden SJ that day and not Stu Elliot. I don't think he would have panicked and Smarty Jones would be a TC winner today. He didn't need to inject him into the race so early, when he probably should have been sitting 3rd behind the speed.
And then he whips the horse when he is fried.
I guess he was worried about the superfecta.

Dutrow was also asked if he was concerned that other riders in the Belmont would “gang up” on Big Brown. He was reminded that some people accused riders of doing that to Smarty Jones when he was defeated by Birdstone in the 2004 Belmont Stakes.

“I don’t believe anyone would do something like that,” he said. “If they did, they might get assassinated after the race. I can’t imagine they would do that."
Wow. Welcome aboard Quiet Chris. By the way, congratulations for reaching douchebag status in record time. Keep up the good work.

Why would ya say that?

Hmmm..well---tell me what else he was asked. If you know.

Dutrow was also asked if he was concerned that other riders in the Belmont would “gang up” on Big Brown. He was reminded that some people accused riders of doing that to Smarty Jones when he was defeated by Birdstone in the 2004 Belmont Stakes.

I'll be darned.

“I don’t believe anyone would do something like that,” he said. “If they did, they might get assassinated after the race. I can’t imagine they would do that.

Listen....wait until he really kills someone before calling for his suspension....and don't ever make it look like I said something Don'trow said again----OK?



I think you should consider darting this thread before it gets out of hand.

Besides looking like a dope.....you will attract the usual suspects---know what I'm sayin' here?
