A better question Bailey should have said after the race was if Smith had stayed on MTB for the Belmont would he have won the race, I know Borel is gods gift to riding and the fact he has been a so so rider in a small bond is just the breaks one gets, but Smith has one a couple races at Belmont, maybe even like 10 and he would not have made that move with a dead one run closer.
I thought Bailey's comments was what you would want from an analyst, certainly you don't want someone coming on saying all the politically correct things...in essence having a love in with the horses and riders...when you look at the footage presented with his comments it made it more palatable. However if you are a Mike Smith fan you probably couldn't help but feel you were thrown under a train, to have someone say if Borel rode MTB in the Preak and that he would have won is something I feel is totally unfair.
