OK, you do that, I'm sure those with "real insight" will be happily chiming in tomorrow to say that Smarty was a "once in a lifetime horse".

Now, cynic that I am, when a thread like this pops up I get the distinct feeling that someone is just trying to start trouble, as there really is no bigger internet hot-spot that a Smarmy Jones debate. It also seems these kind of threads are invariably started by someone with a handful of posts.

Jeez.....the race was 2 1/2 years ago....there are 47,863 threads on various other boards about it....do we really need another one.

Next!

You are probably right. Declansharbor has St Johns education written all over him.

I've been to Philly about a dozen times, decent city although the part where Drexel is is a little sketchy. I was commenting on the fact that you were a huge Smarty goo-goo so it didn't surprise me you were from Philly.

Very difficult to stay hostile to you. Your sense of humor is excellent.

By the way, I have no idea where that guy got the impression I owned horses. Even I wouldn't lie about that.

Hell, I still have the original Playstation. Don't play very often anymore...but I spent one winter glued to it about five or six years ago.

There is a new one for Playstation 2. DQs and more races. Don't have it but I hear it's great.

it woudve been alot cooler if they made it somewhat difficult..And Tom Durkin with his race calls was horrific.. I was looking for real horses, not just a handful of them..all in all, weak, but a good foundation to build future racing games with

i used to stop my horse out of the gate and spot the other horses a whole 1/4 mile than just press him..so ridiculous..i expected the world with this game and all i got was a game that stunk like triple overtime..

I see he took over Precious Kitten for Ramsey.

He may need that money back soon.

By the way, next time you see Jose Cuevas tell him I send my regards.

[declansharbor]

The guy's a mutt. He's always misquoting me too. I think he finally gave up.




Got proof on that ???

[repent]

what a bunch of crap.

now we are blaming the jocks for getting smarty jones beat?
Im sorry,
but I thought it was the job of a jock to WIN the race, and not let another horse win just b/c the little horsey ppl think its a cute story.

was Bailey supposed to do everything he could to ensure that SJones won?
this is chris bridges.

SJones ran a heck of a race.
was part of the pace and still held on for 2nd.
look,
purge goes to the rail with RHT beside him on the first turn.
SJones and Elliot elect to go 3 wide around the turn with Edd right beside him.
then SJones makes his move entering the back straight.
now, RHT and Edd can either let him get away with an easy front running lead down the backstretch or go with him.
OF COURSE they go with him. RHT makes him work.
SJones puts Edd away first before they even get to the turn.
puts RHT away on the far turn and enters the straight with an ever increasong lead over RHT.
got tired in the stretch and was run down by The Stone who was moving best at the end.
NOTHING UNUSUAL about the race or the riding tactics at all.

Im sorry your feel good story did not come to the end so many of you wanted.
personally, I wish he would have stayed down when he hit his head on that gate as a 2YO.
at least then we would not have to listen to all this b*tching about how unfair it is that the other jocks and horses did not "let" him win the Belmont Stakes and the Triple Crown.
