Canadian rider...

Boy can that horse run! I love the story, the accident when it was young, almost blind in one eye, man do I hope that horse wins at Belmont. If anything could put a cherry on top of this story, a triple crown would do it, maybe take our minds off all the other crap goin down as well....even if just for a short while.


Wonder what it's gunna odd out at, was 3-5 today

Ahh, that's what he was thinking. For the city boys, the horse is the one on the bottom.

It was an impressive win -- doesn't look like he will have any problems going another 5/16. Just hope he can stay healthy.

I had a client over for drinks last night.  All he wanted to do was watch some horse race called the Preakness (sp?).  His friend owned one of the horses, Chappy something or other.

Turns out it was this horse...Smarty Jones.

Great race.  Smarty Jones won by a huge margin.

Right after the first turn Elliott had a chance to take him inside and passed it up.  I guess he knew right there it wasn't necessary.  If he had, the winning magin would have been more than 11 1/2.

See the hand size on that #10? Jeeeez, not only didn't it want to load into the starting gate, but I was wonderin if it'd even fit! hehe.

..btw , I know the name of #10, just that I ain't gunna say it on this board, I'll be wide open for the innevitable one liners!!lol. I almost wrote...'see the size of _______#10',( that woulda been funny.hehe.)

Curval, it's owned by Someday Farms, Roy Chapman and I think some others , Staub, or something like that? Not sure tho.

Yea, I thought it was his first name because that is what this guy called him...Chappy.  Short for Chapman I guess.  I suppose he is just one of the owners.

That additional 5/16 gonna be fun when Rock Hard Ten gets going. Those big legs cover a lot of ground, and looked like he had plenty in the tank at the finish.

Man, what a great race!! Smarty just hit the "on" switch midway through the turn.

Can't wait for Belmont!
