Smarty Jones - 2004 Preakness Stakes (Dave Rodman's Call)

[nvrlose37]

Rodman really doesn't get credit enough. I wouldn't have had one problem in the world if he took over for Durkin this year. maybe he never called 20 horse fields before but his Preakness call is perfection annually.

You have to give credit to Survivor (the first Preakness winner). His win of 10 lengths lasted 132 years until this guy surpassed it. Thanks for the video!

I wished he called races here in louisville. Hes much better than the brit we have now.

CHILLS!!!!!!!!!!

Personally I don't think anyone will win the

triple crown again, it's amazing how many in

the last few years couldn't get the Belmont.

Great clip once again. I wasn't a Smarty fan but respected what he achieved. I thought Lion Heart showed alot in the Derby and Preakness. And Rock Hard Ten should have been a great one!!

A picture of perfection!

Terrific call by Rodman...Thanks for posting

I agree, Rodman was on the top of his game here; he's surprisingly underrated.

You're very welcome.

Wow! I thought this was a tad reminiscent of  Secretariat so easily running off from the rest of the pack. :-)

Yes, it sure was an impressive performance by Smarty. Shame he wouldn't settle into his usual stalking position in the Belmont; that's what cost him the Triple Crown, IMHO.

Take care.
