When I say the other jockeys conspired against him I mean at least 2 horses who never showed early speed were out there early putting pressure on him, I call it working him over. The pace was faster than it should have been and instead of being patient, Elliott got sucked into it costing him the race. I'm sure you know sometimes a trainee specifically enters a horse to be a rabbit to set a hot pace for his other come from behind horse in the race.

I agree that had a regular jockey been on him, he would have won-not because he wouldnt have been "ganged up on"---which i dont believe---but he wouldn't have been so impatiently overused.... Big Sandy did him in, not other jockeys.

it took a tag team to beat Smarty---Elliot did nothing wrong

Jerry Bailey approached John Servis and tried to get the ride--Servis told him to go to hell--so Bailey, riding Eddington(who was a deep closer) sacrificed him and attacked Smarty in the first 6F--then of of course Birdstone picked off a beaten up Smarty

similar to Frosted-so going after him was his only real shot attacking American Pharaoh in his Travers, softening up AP for Keen Ice to pick off a tired AP--only difference was Frosted was fast and talented

....Eddington was an extremely slow plodder and was a sacrificial lamb so Bailey could get revenge on Servis--so please don't tell me Smarty wasn't tagged teamed

Except Elliot choked in the Belmonst when he stepped on the gas too early and too often....
Braxton comes up big.

Didn't choke, horse on a long successful campaign got Zetod.

I was talking in terms of what propelled his name onto the domestic and global racing map was none other than this then avg Philly jock's partnership with - Smarty Jones.
