I was lucky enough flying back from Saratoga today to have Mike Smith on my flight ( to San Diego). I was actually able to talk to him about the Whitney. He said when he hit him once he got mad. He said he thought sure he was going to win until that moment then he thought uh oh. He said you know its funny the paycheck for running second isn't quite as good as running first. I laughed.
Really cool guy to talk to. I was a fan before - now a bigger one.
He turns 50 tomorrow.
Said his horse in the Arlington Million got colic so he is without a mount.
