Well I am certainly glad to hear that. I hope that every nice horse that comes along entices more people to this great game. I would like nothing more than to be wrong in my belief that Smarty Jones did very little good for the game. I sincerely hope that you are the rule, and not the exception, for those that jammed Belmont in 2004. One thing is for sure....we need all the help and new fans we can get.

Best of luck.
