Don't be sorry for my loss... we should all be glad he didn't kill someones child / parent / friend / lover.

Seriously wtf he's a grown man... you don't drink and drive.

Makes me sick, sorry for the rant.

I alays give jockeys and anyone else second, third, however many chances when they have a problem with drugs,booze, whatever... driving drunk though? No. I tolerate that with no one.

**** him and his not being reckless mentality.

Makes me sick.

Seems he wasn't the only one last night.

There was an extensive police presence in communities surrounding Del Mar following the races Wednesday. According to a local television news report, 15 people were arrested for DUI, though it is not known if Smith is included in that number.

Mike Smith owns that road. This is bulls.hit.

What was the probable cause? Going wide around a turn and crossing the center line. Happens all the time.


Pshhh.

If driving drunk isn't reckless, what is? They all think they can handle it til they can't & kill someone. 'Nobody died' isn't a defense here. I've lost people too. Saying I'm disgusted w/him doesn't even begin to cover it. Mike likes his wine does he, Baffert? Maybe Mike would also like a rehab program. CA's got plenty.

Driving after eating a handfull of 'Shrooms a few hours earlier?

Only took about 20 minutes to get the car out of the parking lot.

If Zenyatta hadn't moved to Kentucky she would have taken his keys and given him a ride.

If your doing shroom why leave, I would suggest just go in circles, that way when you run out of gas, it'll bo OK. You can just get out.

Glad I could help.

Why drink and drive when you can drink and drink?
