Joe Cordell of Cordell and Cordell joined Crossing Broadcast on Thursday afternoon.

You may have missed the show, BUT THAT’S OKAY, because we clipped some video for you. Joe is actually a big Kentucky Derby fan, so we talked about that topic and plenty more:

Birdstone. You remember that? What a buzzkill. Great race though. I thought Smarty Jones had it in the bag. He would have been the first Triple Crown winner since 1978, when Affirmed won the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont.

RE: the story I was telling in the clip, I couldn’t remember it clearly, but went back and double checked and found this from The Washington Times:

“Dr. Patricia Hogan shook her head as she looked at the picture, taken the day the ambulance brought a 2-year-old racehorse named Smarty Jones to the New Jersey Equine Clinic. About 90 minutes earlier, Hogan had received an urgent call from the veterinarian at Philadelphia Park, explaining that the colt had reared up and smashed his head on an iron bar, fracturing his skull and driving his eye deep into his head.”

Smarty Jones. PHILLY TOUGH.
