Watchmaker: Race Is Over
There is no race for top three-year-old, writes Mike Watchmaker. We all know what’s going to happen when it comes time to award the divisional title: “No legitimate argument can be made for any horse in position to mount a late-season threat — not Birdstone, not Sunday’s Haskell Invitational winner Lion Heart, not Sunday’s Jim Dandy winner Purge, and not Rock Hard Ten in the wake of his flop in the Haskell. None of them is in the same league with Smarty Jones.” (Daily Racing Form)
