What Smarty Jones faced in 2004 & what Big Brown faces on Saturday....the difference?

I would like to know how this bike race translates to a horse race.

Is that Gomez on the far left riding the rail? Good ride.

I pulled up the chart.

"The rider of the 4 horse swung wide to the outside rail to alertly avoid the traffic. The race was later declared a no-contest with most of the field going down on the far turn."

Your picture finding ability is grade 1 caliber.

There was one death out of that accident ... I would say it's the bastard on the left riding the rail.

It was a big advantage to be the lone speed in that race.

Fatman herds the pack illegally.
He is riding the car... steering's a little loose.
Steward's inquiry DQed him.
He was the lone speed in the race.
So the ride was a bad one.
For all concerned.

That pic was cropped. Here is the original pic...

Juding the field Smarty Jones faced is infinitely easier after the race. It's tough to pass judgment on this group until we see them shake-out down the road. As of right now, they aren't turning heads, but things change.
