June 5, 200422 yr Expected to break horse racing ratins records tomorrow and all over one horse. I'll probably be at Philly Park tomorrow taking the hype in and getting ready for the chaos that should occur no matter what happens. Every channel here in the city is running constant pieces along with all the hype building. This is way big than I ever expected and I can only dream some of the emotions that will be spilling over in the race and if he wins... frantic. Time for Smarty to break A 20 year old curse and finish what he has started. I watched Rocky today in anticipation and if he does it, he better damn well get a statue :thumbup
June 5, 200422 yr Author How many horses are actually racing. I know its not going to be a full field. I'm 95% sure it's 9, with smarty at the end.
June 5, 200422 yr Race will be on NBC on TV and on Premiere Radio/Clear Channel on the Radio (WFAN 660 New York, KSPN 710 LA, KYW Philly, WBAL Baltimore, WRFX Miami)
June 5, 200422 yr I'm not a horse racing fan but I have been caught up in all of the attention he has been getting on Sportscenter so I will be watching tommorow.
June 5, 200422 yr I will be tuned in for the 7th time in 9 years. Maybe this is the year for the triple crown. Yeah, he's running against 8 other horses.
June 5, 200422 yr Author Im feeling Rock Hard Ten getting the upset..... :o He had to be given a new jockey to a rule violation, if he gets into the gate and out of it fine, he may be ok but that's a big if with that horse.
June 5, 200422 yr How about Purge then? BTW, I still want S. Jones too win...Im just putting all the situations out there.
June 5, 200422 yr Author How about Purge then? BTW, I still want S. Jones too win...Im just putting all the situations out there. Purge is who Servis is most worried about. Smarty beat him twice but that was before Purge's 7 length victory at The Peter Pan so out of all the horses, their's your contender but I have to go with The Pride of Philadelphia.
June 5, 200422 yr Thanks for the info man.... Are you a big horce racing guy? The only knowledge I have came from reading Seabiscuit last summer... :confused
June 5, 200422 yr Author Thanks for the info man.... Are you a big horce racing guy? The only knowledge I have came from reading Seabiscuit last summer... :confused Yep, grew up in the buisness. My dad used to be a trainer and at one time raced with Harness Horses.
June 5, 200422 yr And smarty jones loses! Horse racing is fixed, this definitely doesn't surprise me. I feel sorry for all of those idiots who had money on smarty.
June 5, 200422 yr Smarty NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! i wanted him to win so bad. freaking birdstone ( the winner )
June 6, 200422 yr And smarty jones loses! Horse racing is fixed, this definitely doesn't surprise me. I feel sorry for all of those idiots who had money on smarty. I knew it wasn't going to happen, this was the third year in a row a horse won the first two races, but lost the third. I made sure I stayed clear of this.
June 6, 200422 yr It is just like I said after the KD: Smarty Jones won't win the triple crown. Every horse in the last few years has come close but could never get that last race and I predicted that the same would happen to Jones. Back to reality now :shifty
June 6, 200422 yr Man I was laughing hard because it looked like he had him...I thought the jockey didn't really push Smarty that much, but oh well it was a good laugh cause everyone int he room was screamin for him to win and then lost
June 6, 200422 yr Long horse races suck. Im tired of seeing a finish with two horses galloping to the line... :thumbdown
June 6, 200422 yr I was kind of hoping to see history be made today, so I'm a little dissapointed that Smarty Jones lost... but like I'll give a damn tommorrow.
