2004 Preakness (Smarty Jones)

[largo1]

Just watched the replay a few times and have a few comments:

1) At the time it *seemed* like an exciting race, but really now, it wasn't ALL that great.

2)When Mike Smith took Lion Heart wide, I assumed (and probably everyone else did too), that he was doing that to force Smarty wide. But, now, in retrospect, I think he was actually trying to find "The Mike Smith Path" (you know, the one he took with Deputy Glitters a couple years later)

Just a couple 1:00 am observations.
