"but this is one non-wagering vote that this undefeated Philadelphia Locomotive rolls over the top of this field just like he did Derby Day."

Spent the day with a couple real sharp Graphies and had an excellent time. We actually threw Smarty Jones out on the pick four ticket trying for a bomb and had five other horses going in the Preakness. And as Judge Smells told Spalding in the movie Caddyshack...."You'll get nothing and like it".

TGJB you are exactly right, the first thing out of somebodys mouth when they posted the Pick Four prices was Rock Hard Ten pays $3,500 and Smarty pays $1,500. One horse is 6-1 to win and the other is 3-5. How does that work ???

As far as not playing Smarty to win in either the Derby or Preakness let me say this. TGJB I think you will agree, I never doubted who the fastest horse in either race was, the numbers were obvious regarding that.What was questionable was whether or not Smarty could repeat those prior numbers, and using previous history, this seemed to be highly unlikely.

There has been a lot of talk here and elsewhere about horses like Imperialism, Eddington for days on end, Borrego, Rock Hard Ten, TCE, Tapit and many more. The point being those discussions seemed to think those horses were possibly better than Smarty Jones. Why else were people thinking they could win??

People who have given out selections other than Smarty Jones, in print, or on TV, or on the Net and I have seen plenty of them, and in the same breath critisized the Bounce Theory logic.

Whats your excuse??
