I saw this last night when I was looking through some websites. While it's great for racing, especially with the uptick in viewers from the overnight ratings (Highest rating in 17 years). The question is: will the SI Jinx get to him. Now you maybe asking, what the heck is the SI jinx? Sports Illustrated is notoriously known for putting some people on the cover more then others. If this happens, the person may not have a good year, or a team may not have a good game ect. Among the cover victims, Philadelphia Phillie Cole Hamels, who is not having the greatest year. This jinx, is right up there with the Madden Curse.
BTW for those wondering Mine is the first horse in 5 years to have a full spread cover, the last one? Smarty Jones in 2004, ironcily Mine's dad upset Smarty in the Belmont to deny the Triple Crown. Somewhat forshadowing that we see a Smarty kid in the Belmont? Although that is highley unlikely. I had hoped to have Pedigree Spotlights done, but as useal they where not ment to be. So look out for them tomarrow, and this time I do mean it.
For those interested, here is Smarty's cover.
