Props To Mike Smith
Right after the race he mans up and says it was my fault. Chip Wooley always seems to be a cool cat as well.

guess the questions of why Calvin got off etc will cease. Borail turns out to be the smartest of the bunch.

Got to agree although letening to him and seeing him well up at a drop of a coin a little disconcerning. I bet he's a great poker player.

This horse needs a very patient rider.I think these guys are just moving way too early with MTB.He needs the most patient jockey in the biz right now,Mr.Ramon Dominguez.He'd get him home in time!

Besides, the winner started at the same time and was simply able to sustain his drive longer. i agree with Hurricane Frank to a degree. |

He did ride the horse correctly. There's not a single person alive that would have thought going into that far turn that Big Drama was going to come back to them the way he did. Smith had to go at the point that he did in order to give himself any chance. The fact that the horse didn't have enough to get the job done doesn't mean that Smith didn't move at the right time with him.

I thought he rode the right race. He's a good guy who it seems would take the blame for something like that, but he moves then and loses and it's his fault...he waits and Drama doesn't come back, or Soul Warrior gets the jump and he's a few strides too late, and then it's his fault for letting them get away.
He was in a no-win situation, and I think he made the right call. |
