Correct in part one sir! Mike Smith and his agent at the time, Steve Adika, chose to ride Devil His Due on that day putting Jerry Bailey on Cigar.
That same fall, Smith and his agent chose to ride Sky Beauty over Heavenly Prize from McGaughey's barn, and in the following spring completed their blunder trifecta by selcting to ride Talkin Man over Thunder Gulch in the Kentucky Derby.
It was estimated that the Smith/Adika team cost themselves approximately 22 grade one victories just on those three horrible decisions alone. Smith became sour and when Bailey slipped into his place on Cigar he was able to steal the Mott barn from Smith(who was on thin ice there for smarting off to Mott after losing a stakes race in which Mott blamed his ride) and the Bailey era began.

YOu still need to answer the other two questions though Da Hoss in order to get full credit.
