Yeah, there have always been a lot of allegations.
Are they legitimate? As I said before, I don't think so, but there are a lot of smart and informed people (like Steve apparently) that disagree.
Basically, I have always been such a huge fan of Sunday Silence, that I am not really sure how unbiased my opinion in this matter can really be.

You are right on with that last comment. Yeah EG beat SS big at 1 1/2 miles, but at 1 1/2 miles, who cares? Its an irrelevant distance in American dirt racing. But I'm sure I'll get criticized for agreeing with you on this; and it is an East Coast dominated board.

Nothing wrong with the East Coast. I lived in NYC for three years and loved every minute of it. I just think that on this one issue, where there was a great NY horse and a great Cali-horse with a great rivalry, some people still just have trouble granting Sunday Silence his due credit.
I also don't know that I would call 12f an "irrelevant distance."

you know, I have had just about enough of you....Smith took Giacomo to a derby win....think about that for a minute, Giacomo for christs sake, not Spectactular Bid, that should get you in the hall of fame alone.

Used Mike Smith and Spectacular Bid in the same sentence? Tragic

I was waiting for someone to bust on harnessass....but the most interesting moment in this thread was the SS doping Byk Bomb which clearly deserves an explanation even by PM (hint hint!!!). Watching EG and SS go after each other brought me into this game......if it was all BarryBondslike I am gonna have to take a pistol to........nevermind!!

Mike Smith's ride on Flashy Bull the subsequent year was also the stuff of legend.
