what got me with smith lately was after the preakness non-run by giacomo, he said immediately after the race that he thought the horse flipped his palate. trainer said that was hogwash.
of course all jocks have bad rides, stupid rides, stupid comments....i'm sure him no more than others...

and i'm pretty sure i could have won all those races on zenyatta.

Shouldn't you get your facts straight first before we consider your opinion?

Smith actually thought that sane human beings other than Giacomo's connections would think that there had to be a reason other than he was slow that excused his 4th place finish in the Preakness?

You guys are credible.

The comments were made after the Belmont.

He finished 3rd in the Preakness.

Wow, that really takes apart my point that he sucked up for 3rd instead of 4th in the Preakness. It doesn't really matter which race he said it after.

I can see that you are much more careful than those who you criticize about the accuracy of your statements.

I got Mike Smith as the the 6th best jockey in the country right now and top 12 all time. LEGEND STATUS.

Speaking of which...

My new Saudi roommate is converting my land into a farm, and we just got some young ducks and chickens. The chickens are all female (hens to be)!

The pigs we are getting are going to be named after two wop friends we have, but I'll make sure to get one of the hens named Joe(y).

Or maybe Josephina!

sorry, didn't look it up to verify which race, was going on memory only. but feel free not to consider my opinion at all, regardless of whether i got the right triple crown race.
