He could have a point. Purge and SJ have the natural speed..
So either one could inherit the lead. Some strange scenarios
could be played out ... Jocks not knowing exactly how the
pace will shape up .. Premature moves .. not moving quickly
enough. Well I am through for the nite .. Go Smarty !

Oh I think the first quarter or two will be crawling, but then everyone is going to panic and have a flashback and start the nonsense, and the third and fourth quarters will be blazing, by the stretch horses (maybe including smarty) are going to start spitting bits. Could be interesting. Smarty looked invincible in the Preakness, but 550 yards is a long long way.
