If Mike Smith is nothing else, he's a helluva jockey.

Geez, he had Harmonious on the grandstand apron in the stretch drive. My 13 year old dog would have ridden that horse better.


I had no money on it, but man that stuck out as a sucked ride.

Very happy Evening Jewel and the connections got the win.

It wasn't great, if you reversed that with the ride Chantal rode today, she most likely would have won.

That SOB cost me the pick 6. Why does Mike Smith insist on going 7 wide every chance he gets???
