Joey P. has also run a couple nice races in the last few years for inflated slots purses at Charles Town. Think he actually came close to setting a track record there last year.

I'd give Oaklawn (and Philadelphia) to Smarty Jones. His 3 race spring there was the best to ever come through. On Thorograph, he ran off the page, and no horse has been as popular by a mile this decade. I guarantee any poll among the locals would have him way out in front as the best of the last 20 years.

Pro Prado would have to be a close second.

Ok... some Big M Candidates.

* Burning Roma (4-2-2-0) Beat Volponi in the Med Cup - Volponi romped in the BC Classic next time out. Won the Alysheba by 6 with a big number. 2nd to Volponi in the Pegasus. 2nd on the turf in the John Henry

* Diamond Stripes (2-for-2) won both the Pegasus and the Meadowlands Cup.

* North East Bound won both the Meadowland's Cup and Cliffhanger. Pretty cool horse.

* Tap Day (3-for-4) won the Med Cup and the Princeton

* Slam Bammy (5-4-1-0) Won the Ellio at 11/1 odds. Won the Rutgers. Took a pair of ALW races at 4/1 and 15/1 - and was 2nd in the Rutgers to Joey P. the only time he ever was beaten at MED.

I found this one to be very difficult to find a clear cut selection... Burning Roma was what I came up with as well.

Was thinking about Charles Town last night and I think Researcher deserves a look, track recordholder and winner of their alltime richest race.

On cue, Researcher runs off the screen again at Charles Town. If they ran the BC Classic there, he'd be 1/5.
