Junior's ridden 4,028 races in his career and is showing a flat bet profit for his life. As I said a few years ago, he was the finest bug rider I've ever watched.

He had his bug at Calder near the end of 2007 -- and I followed Calder very closely leading into Gulfstream Park. It was a joke how much better he was than everyone else.

His ride on The Mixer was very good.

And the ride on the runnerup was not.

Maybe Smith is looking to move his tack east again.
