The perfect ending...winning by a huge margin!

He won the Preakness going away.. He does remind me of Seabiscuit, and if you haven't seen the movie yet, you are really missing something special..

Yes, I've seen it twice. And, there certainly are similarities...it's somewhat spine-tingling!

For some reason I'll never know, when I saw Rock Hard 10 having that awful fit getting into the gate at the Preakness, the first thing that flashed into my mind was War Admiral (another big beautiful horse that looked like a winner) and his fractiousness at the start of his race with Seabiscuit.

Imagine how RHT's jock felt, after that bad start and then very nicely working his way up to get into a great position at the final turn, to watch Smarty just switch into warp drive and disappear....
