Dang it

[Chuckles_the_Clown2]

I\'ve protected myself with Purge just in case.

If Rock Hard gets second or better I\'m dead on the track.

I was all over birdstone for second....Smarty moved a little early...dang it

I get wrapped up in these horses....I bet Birdstone if I don\'t fall in love with Smarty.  But thats not what hurts.

It was a fast 10 marks...they came home slow...he just went after it too quickly. Birdstone is a decent horse. Dang Nick Zito.

Smarty hit the wall at 11 marks. He didn\'t relax enough early and Birdstone did and that was the difference.

Rock Hard Ten should not be allowed on a racetrack again until that turd learns how to load. If Orman can\'t get him loading grill him for the dogs. He\'s a crap horse anyway.

Nick Zito is a decent guy. But his string over Chuckles the curse clown say \"Retire\"
No more triple crown races for you.

There\'s a reason Edgar Prado makes his living in New York and Stewart Elliot rides in Philadelphia.
Look at the whip work by Prado as he rhythmically rouses Birdstone by a tiring Smarty Jones, while Elliot is fumbling around with his stick.
Elliot got nothing out of that horse in the last furlong.  Maybe he just didn\'t have anything under him, but Elliot looked out of his league to me.

  I noticed that, could be he doesn\'t want to beat up on Smarty.  If you want to squeeze the last ounce out , get a Chavez.
