I think it was clear that front runners dropped dead every race on the card save the 2nd, which was won by an odds on favorite.
Smith rode a brilliant race! That's right folks a brilliant race! He knew he had one horse to beat and he parked him 4 wide on the 1st turn LIKE HE SHOULD HAVE. If Smarty doesn't fire, LH has a chance to win. If Smarty does fire, well, he's gonna win by a bunch because this is a field/crop of garbage cans.
Most of us here knew 3 things going into this race:
1. Lion Heart will be on the lead
2. Mike is notorious for riding in the 3 path - especially with this horse.
3. This was a horrible betting race.
So no crying about Lion Heart losing please. I loved him in the Derby, and he got his ass kicked fair and square by a FREAK.
