It was clear as day he wasn't winning as they were entering the far turn but it looked like Smith & Arrogate hit a brick WALL just as they straightened in the stretch. Hope he scopes clean and comes back firing like his old self in the Pac Classic.

Watching a few replays of his a couple of weeks ago after one of his works, I noticed that he might not have reeled in Chrome in the BCC last year if Smith didn't go to the right hand stick mid stretch. He definitely reacted well to that right stick and surged past CC, but without it, Im not too sure he gets past Chrome. Stands out in the replay, I watched the stretch run about 10 times that day.

Let's hope he returns to his champion ways and that Baffert is just cursed in the SD Hcp, because that was OOGLY.

Even though the rest of the sequence was chalky, I was suprised the P4 only payed $425.

Seems a bit light. With the big fields surrounding the San Diego.

Trifecta seems light as well.

I would not get crazy here. The horse ran so bad it seemed like he may have been sick. I am sure they checked him top to bottom after the race. Seems to me something went wrong here.
