In addition to the ones already mentioned, I'm not sure I would completely dismiss Tapit's chances. One other horse which very few people are talking about & which also might be able to beat Smarty is Dermott Weld's Relaxed Gesture. The "gesture" which was the most remarkable to me Sat is one that I have never seen before at any TC or other race. There was organized cheering, such as you see at a college football game, for SJ in Section 2 for a good portion of the hr long wait for the big race. Smarty really has captured the hearts & imaginations of racing fans, & I'm already envious of those who will be there on the 5th. There is nothing in the world of sports which can hold a candle to what will take place that day if Smarty wins, & my advice is that anyone who does have the opportunity to be there take advantage of it. Besides, you might be surprised how much spotty to no cell coverage, together with ancient betting machines which make it next to impossible to bet tris & supers, can boost your roi, a lesson I re-learned for the 100th or so time again at Old Hilltop.
