Baffert must have angered the racjng gods

Drefong must have been jealous of Arrogate getting all the headlines. Exit, stage left.

Certainly was factor, even without Smith.
The "old guy" sure bounced back up quick - hate to be him this morning.

Delmar might want to invest a few bucks for another section of temp railing.

That was an interesting race. Lucky no one was hurt. Too bad Borel didn't have a mount in the race, he would have came down the rail and won it.

Anyone find it odd that after his too good to be true Belmont Day, his stable has been pretty average? I guess above average for most people, but not by his standards.

Weird...

I'm stunned he didn't point one of his Belmont day winners to the Haskell.

I guess everyone missed the video that was circulating on facebook. After he jumps off the horse (Abel Tasman), he clearly hands something to Assistant trainer who then puts something in his pocket. Oh, and the filly veered in late which ended up with a steward inquiry. If you saw the video, you might say he has ANGERED THE RACING GODS.

Smith of all people isn't going to use a battery. It's worthy of 0 seconds of consideration.
