I can see a horse getting beat, Lord knows the triple crown is a hard thing to get through.
But Bird-F-ingStone?
How many people are walking out of Belmont today shaking their heads, their beliefs that horse racing is crap? How many are coming back Sunday?
Purge died after doing nothing at all for 2 furlongs, RHT was emptier than a beer can at last call, Bailey rushed up to say hello and then died like a dog.
And here comes "one of the pigs" that got his *ss beat every time he meet a good horse. The entie crop of 3 yos must be off form today. Mile and a half hell, most were done before a mile, some before a furlong! A freakin furlong! 660 feet is beyond the capability of half these horses. Come on to Finger lakes, boys!
Home track? Maybe.
Sh*t race?
Fer sure.
Sour grapes?
Yup.
Just so many counltess NYRA races, I am sitting here shaking my head asking myself, "What is post time at Penn tonight?
Smarty is still the only 3 year old that danced every dance, ran every race, even today, in defeat his star shines brighter than all the rest combined.
And history will remember Birdsh*t as the pig that got lucky one day. At least my history.
:(
