I think the bottom line for me is that of the two horses I saw with my own two eyes - Smarty was the better racehorse.
Okay, I'll leave the nitwit out of it, I shouldn't have said that...

I would say that Charismatic faced better competition and he would have won the Triple Crown, had he not broken down. SJ ran a monster Belmont, but he still lost racing, Charismatic lost because of injury, don't forget he was up on a hot pace as well.

I did not see Smarty race in person, but I saw Charismatic twice, his Lexington Stakes victory was very impressive....
