I thought his Preakness was very impressive however and any horse able to overcome Stewie Elliot as effectively as he did had to be pretty damn good.

excellent post, and point!
it's hard sometimes to like a horse when the adulation borders the ridiculous. or oversteps ridiculous and leaps to asinine. i think the worst tho was the adulation for rock hard ten. at least smarty had a ton of talent to go with his following, rather than just good looks and height.
