Damn. Stewie even makes a premature move in that race too.

I was conflicted on who they would have win this race -- it had to be Afleet Alex or Smarty Jones based on who they decided would win the other races ... check out how they handled it. It's at 2:50 in.

That was some ride. What do they have against Elliot? And wouldn't Rachel have been much more competitive with this group?

Yeah, she would have hung in there for a lot longer -- especially after a 24 2/5th opening quarter like she posted on the game.

That Preakness field in the game was incredibly tough. A bunch of different horses in that field could have won -- it would have come down to trips obviously.

Afleet Alex certainly wasn't going to blow them away -- he probably would have been 30/1 in the betting for that race. No Giacomo, Closing Arguments, Scrappy T's, Andromedas hero, and Nolan's Cats in there.

Point Given was easily the most impressive Belmont Stakes winner in a long time.

I just watched the video game simulation they did of past Belmont winners -- and A. P. Indy nips him. The link is below.

A. P. Indy was a sales topping yearling a very good race horse and a great sire ... but he wasn't beating Point Given in the Belmont imo.

Here's the horse who finished 2nd to A.P. Indy in the Belmont. A Euro import named My Memoirs

Couldn't they at least have watched a single race to figure out the correct silks colors for Cash is King and Afleet Alex?

I was kinda digging how the horse that went 4 and 5 wide around the turns lost absolutely no ground in the running. That run by Elliot was pretty awesome though.
