Smokey Glacken was trying to win the race Pat. She took a run at the winner and was simply dusted. That took a toll on her and cost her any chance at a 2nd or 3rd place finish, but you cant knock the jockey for trying. Sure, Castellano probably could have ridden her a bit more conservatively and gotten a suck up 2nd, but Smokey Glacken is a nice horse who the connections thought could win. Why not take a try at the win? She did and that effort cost her an on the board finish. She is a much better horse than High Button Shoes and Magnolia Jackson.

I dont blame the jockey. You just have to tip your hat to the winner. What a nice filly.
