The Best Pony Out There?

Butterscotch impresses, too

Butterscotch, a former racehorse who raced under the name Scotch With a Twist, has been right with Smarty Jones all spring, galloping with him just about every morning. She had to keep up with an energetic Smarty Jones on Thursday morning.

Trainer Todd Pletcher, watching from the box seats, said, \"I make Butterscotch 3-5 in any pony race. She\'s had a serious spring campaign.\"

Seabiscuit beat War Admiral (Triple Crown winner) in a match race the only true measure of a better horse jockey combination.  When was the last match race btw?  The Triple Crown is not the only race in town.  The comment about Smarty getting the dream race in almost all of his victories is not what it seems.  Funny Cide finished 5th in his last outing.  The only thing that impress me about Smarty is that he hasn\'t found a way to lose!

Post Pairings, Pace, Late Speed especially Fading Factors,  Likes the rail (more likely to get boxed in),  Outside the pack (more likely to be pushed wide) and several other intangibles can change the most predictable race into a HORSE RACE.  

Enjoy the Game.
