This article was the first really classless thing that Servis has done during this run. To insinuate that Bailey and Solis "sacrificed" their horses to stop Smarty is the most ridiculous thing I have heard in years. Both thought they had horses that could run 1 1/2 miles and had horses that needed aggressive rides. Both riders said before the Belmont that they would be part of the early pace and their workouts showed that the trainers were sharpening their horses speed. They both made moves that had their horses been good enough, could have been winning moves. Smarty put them both away, so they got beat. No "sacrifices". Just horse racing.
