Defintely Smith cost the horse third money in the Preakness. Do the connections care? I would.
In the article I read in the DRF, it said:
"Lion Heart covered the first quarter-mile in 23.65 seconds. As is his custom, he raced well out from the rail."
As is his custom? Unreal. Before the Preakness, all I could think of was "how will Smith lose ground from the rail? Is it possible?" My answer was - he will find a way. And he did! I didn't hit the race, but I didn't put a dime on him Saturday, which was some cold comfort. AWFUL rides in both races. HP
