Excellent post Mall.
When I read the brief Bloodhorse account of Smarty going to the Track this morning at 6:00AM they made mention that Roy Chapman was there, in his wheelchair, at the backstetch entrance to the main track. One truly has to wonder what is going thru his mind at this point in time. A guy lives for almost 90 years and thinks he has seen it all and then the man upstairs says "You haven't nothing yet."
Roy Chapman will probably not live long enough to see if the Smarty syndication was a profitable deal or not. If Smarty was a great stallion, good one, or a total bust. Roy Chapman knows he has caught the Ultimate Rogue Wave and as far as he is concerned he is going to ride this one for as long as he can go because in his mind, at his age, HE KNOWS there won't be another.
