What if Smarty is Ready to Go, but Racing Isn’t ??

I thought about driving down to Belmont  but figured the crowd would be more than I wanted to handle after a 3-4 hour drive. Instead of attending my usual haunt, Sufferin Downs, I will be \"down east\"  watching in a small OTB in Maine near our vacation cottage.
I think the guys/gals up there may stop focusing on their harness races long enough to watch Smarty win.
Good luck to all especially the horses!
I can\'t wait!!

I graduated from college on Preakness Day 1989 and was heartbroken when my alltime favorite horse lost.  My first college reunion was three weeks later when we drove to Belmont and that day is one of my fondest memories.  I stood at the finish line in a swarm of people as Easy Goer passed by.  I hope that all the Smarty Jones fans go out to the tracks and enjoy the day and perhaps be a part of history.  This is the type of day that creates lifetime fans.  If Smarty wins there will be very few who remember that they could not get a hot dog before the sixth race.
