I was surprised to hear that he is a smoker. I wonder if he often enjoyed the Curt Bourque-esque paddock smoke before a race.

I think most jockeys smoke to tell you the truth. between races at Portland Meadows, since you can't smoke inside in Oregon, the outside of the jocks room looks like a 5 minute break at a French University.
That being said, i got to chat with Gary while he was in Portland this past season for quite a while, and he couldnt have been nicer not just to me, but to everyone who came up to him at PM.
