I am still confounded by this horse; he STILL hasn't run fast---time-wise---like Secretariat, or any one else!
Legends break track records, and he hasn't come close to one (yet), but he may. All he does is win and that's the bottom line! He may be the best one-paced horse I've ever seen; he seems to be able to run 12's anytime in the race he wants. In 2 weeks, all he need do is run
:24 :48 1:12 1:36 2:00 2:24
and wins by 20+ the chart will read:
Smarty Jones, away in good order from the rail post, was sent up inside Purge to establish a stalking position, assumed command when asked just past a mile, extended his margin substantially at the top of the stretch, was shown the whip a furlong out, and was hand-ridden to the wire in a record-equaling performance.
Maybe we should dig up Dean Martin so he can sing that song from Ocean's 11 with the line "ain't that a kick in the head"...
