Ronwar, I am sure this can look like hindsight to some, but how can you expect Smarty Jones to bounce now? or Lion Heart for that matter? I predict the exact same order of finish for 1st and 2nd in the Preakness, but that is why they will run the race; to make some of us look like fools, this game can humble you. Of coarse we haven't seen the post draw and for sure someone is going to try and press these two into awfully fast fractions, but I am already leaning towards betting on the same outcome with the possible exception of using the Cliff's edge underneath as well. From what I have seen nobody's beating Smarty Jones and I am not betting on his bounce coming now, this horse looks for real to me. The Belmont will be his test and I don't think we will see his best until then. It could be another Secretariat coming down the lane ahead by many, they would be fools to do that in the Preakness with the Belmont still to run, but the Belmont is where we may see what this horse really has. I hope I am not just getting caught up in emotion here but I think this horse is the real deal, I have never seen any horse like him. He attacks the ground with every stride.
