Aftershock of Stardom Bound sale

[Danzig]

dutrow generally used prado. desormeaux only got the mount on big brown because edgar got injured and couldn't ride him in a race, and they opted to leave KD on him.

I think this is kind of cool and I love that Mike Smith gets to keep the mount.
Plus, a horse actually running and not staying in the barn? Shocking!

If the owner has any sense, he/she will replace Mike Smith with someone who can ride a horse.

Because Mike Smith hasn't won any big races on Stardom Bound?

Because Mike Smith has the uncanny ability to lose races that he should win. There is a reason why he can't stick around on the New York circuit.

Brett Farve won superbowls, but there are some in New York saying if he wasn't Brett Farve, Kellon Clemons should be given a shot to show what he can do. Mike Smith may have been a much better rider at one time, but today he is not a great jock. He may have once gotten mounts in New York, but he is not riding there because he would not be able to get consistent mounts.
