The race I was obviously most disgusted with was the Belmont. Ever since that race the sight of Bobby Frankel & Jerry Bailey makes me sick. I never understood why when Smarty Jones went for the Triple Crown Edgar Prado & Mary Lou Whitney were apologizing for winning the race. When Empire Maker beat Funny Cide Frankel & Bailey were acting like a-holes. I thought they showed very little class that day. I hope to see Funny Cide around Saratoga again soon. He did a lot of good things for this sport.

Frankel and Bailey were being completely classless the day they won that Belmont. It was all their preconceived arrogance that they should have won the Kentucky Derby. Fact was Empire Maker was right there off FC and Peace Rules with every chance to go by and he didn't. I know they have said EM had a stone bruise or something similar, but no excuses, he had his chance.
Bailey disgraced himself further the next year by running Smarty Jones up the track and was happy to admit it. Couldn't be happier to see him off the track.
