By 40+ to 1 shot Horse....obviously you don't watch much Horse racing.
lol. for a period of about a few years i was at the satelites more than i was at home. my 2 favorite horses were "Gentlemen" which was in my opinion one of the top horses in a long time. he won the Hollywood Gold Cup, Pimlico Special, Jockey Club Gold Cup, Pacific Classic, Santa Anita Handicap (all of which were grade-1 races) and a host of other grade-1 and grade-2 races both on dirt and on grass, both in the USA and in his home country of Argentina but then again i guess that was expected from the son of Nervyev and the grandson of Northern Dancer, and my other favorite was "Sharp Cat" who also won alote of grade-1 races and if i am not mistaken the only major race she ever lost was the Kentucky Oaks. not bad for the daughter of "Storm Cat" who happens to be the top stud in the USA right now.

I'm sayin, somethin was up with that race. In the 9 or 10 other races Smarty Jones had ran he had NEVER slowed down the stretch like that.
but then again he was NEVER asked to run
1 1/2 miles.
there is a big difference between asking a horse to run 1 1/16 miles and 1 1/2 miles.
so it isnt fair for you to say that something was up because he didnt finish "ok" like he did in other races.
