Damn I wouldn't call that a choke...Birdstone just walked him down. The Belmont's length is a killer.

Normally I couldn't give a crap less about horse racing...bunch of alpo circling a track, but I did watch this and was sad to see that he couldn't pull it off. Wish some gluestick would do it so we wouldn't have to hear about it any more.

I grew up with the god damn animals. They're nothing more than rats with long legs.

Just watched Seabiscuit this week (great movie) and I was able to get to the TV when the race was going on, so I figured what the heck. I thought he had it in the bag, but Birdstone chased him down. Felt bad for Birdstone's jockey. The guy had to apologize for winning as he knew everyone wanted Smarty to win.
Can someone explain to me why someone would pay $50 million for a Triple Crown winner? Can they make that much in stud fees?

Uh, dumbass, in a sporting event, somebody ALWAYS fails. If you were rooting for Smarty Jones, that means you wanted the other horses to fail, right? Or are you one of those liberals that is only happy when everybody gets a "Certificate of Participation"? |
