A lot of us here thought the same thing about Smarty. All those 0's and negative numbers heading into Churchill with a 100,000-plus crowd and a 20 horse field - surely he'd bounce. The one glaring differnce is Smarty did race at 2.
I hate playing horses like Smarty Jones and Curlin. But with today's patterns, move up trainers and injections, you HAVE to include them in your wagers or you'll burn a lot of cash.
Take Saturday for instance. On thoropatterns and thoro numbers I saw at least 4 horses in the Ark Derby who were must plays at the odds. Got nothing - not even a sniff as Curlin' drove away with my cash.
That said - My top pick has been Street Sense. I will key him ON TOP but now will have to shcedule some savors with AGS, GH, CURL, HS and perhaps CQ
