![]() get to hear Kent talk about how he's the greatest that is, and ever was..........
KABOOM!!!!! *side note, must be nice to be Mike Smith, to take 1 mount a day at different tracks as the odds-on chalk and not win.......must be the equivalent of retirement for a jockey -bt- |

Wouldn't throw dirt on Smitty just yet. Second in money won this year, over 13 million last year and averaging about $ 30,000 every time he gets into the gate. Oh, in about a third of the rides of Castellano, Rosario, Bejarano et al.

speaking of the 1/3 of the mounts as castellano, rosario and bejarano, yeah those guys are daily riders. Rarely do you see them at keeneland for ONE race, or chuck town for one race. how many mounts did Smith have this weekend? 2? -bt- |

My point to Revidere was that he's riding quality, exactly. But, he's not winning on these quality mounts, at least he didn't this past weekend at Keeneland and Chuck Town. He's gift wrapped mounts on the best horses, unlike a lot out there. When he doesn't win i think people should be allowed to scrutinize, b/c he get's horse quality like none other out there -bt- |

![]() Obviously the guy can ride as evidenced by being in the HOF. But on a Thursday claimer with a horse that isn't a dead closer or hell-bent on the lead, I can think of 15-18 riders I'd rather have on my bet.

![]() Ride as little as possible to make as much as possible.......when you can break your neck every time you ride a race it seems like the best possible situation for a rider?
Is the implication that Emollient or Game on Dude lost because of the ride?

I didn't implicate anything about his rides on either. I said, it must be nice, to get choice, odds on mounts in big stakes, and have that be your weekend, no other mounts. He looses on both, and forbid anyone from noticing or making a comment? i didn't know he was untouchable at this site. Zenyatta, Smith.... who's next that people can't offer a comment on -bt- |
