In fact, Smith was probably still reeling from that race and panicked that the same thing would happen to Abel Tasman unless he shook her up early. Almost cost him.

Summer Luck is not in same class but had that look of a horse that can steal it from the lead. Was moving very easy up front and I think Mike sensed it. Could he have still ran it down probably but he was confident in his horse to make the move. He has had a few rides over the years where he thought he was on Zenyetta and was too far out of it.
