No I did not cash. It was Smarty or bust.

I had a substantial straight perfecta Smarty - Bird
Smarty - Bird - Tri

Bird was in a different category though. His Champagne proved his immature class and he had legitimate excuses in the Lanes End and Derby (Track Bias and disaffinity for the surface those days) Reverberate looks to be an intended horse. If you think the Peter Pan was his high (fast) water mark you\'d have to say \"pass\". It looks very much like part of a bigger plan to me. If he doesnt improve in the Belmont it would be somewhat surprising. Thunder Gulch over a Proud Truth mare certainly merits note.

Indy Storm is lighter on the figures, but he ran bias impacted and is bred just as well for distance. If Zito thinks he belongs here hes got a stout heart chance. A.p. Indy over an Unbridled mare.

Granted it could have been made up then. But this is what was said then. Note the wrong about Rock Hard Ten:

Class:

  A segment of one of your posts this a.m. was quite humorous to me:

[Checkov] \"I thought he had an excuse last time being off slowly, wide and
            well off a very slow pace\"

 You have just described a horse running an awful race. I don\'t know if this
qualifies as an \"excuse\" for a subpar performance.

well, alive to eight here in the pick four.  the 2,4,5 on the main ticket with the 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,11 on a smaller ticket.  welcome to waterloo.

Opinions are what make for horseracing. You\'ve got the field but for Nolan\'s Cat, Afleet Alex and Indy Storm on the one ticket?...and have gone with Pinpoint, Southern Africa and Giacomo on the main?

Quizzical defined choices and covering on the other....Good Luck
