Does this encompass both racetrack and breeding shed?

It is?

When Smith chose to get off to ride Devil His Due, and Bailey inherited the ride....but yea I can see how you say that.

10 Point, It was sort of a tongue in cheek comment. I think Stardom Bound is a nice horse to give her some credit but if IEAH thinks Gomez is going to radically improve this horse with the Jockey change, they are surely kidding themselves. So yes I was kind of half serious, half joking with that Cigar remark.

Stardom Bound is a stretch running sprinter in my book, won the Breeders Cup at a distance because of the surface and she has some ability.

I guess Iavarone is intending to run Stardom Bound in the Classic, because that's where I think Zenyatta will be. I saw this coming after the Ashland. Dutrow doesn't use Smith on anything so he was on borrowed time. I happen to like the filly since I saw her first start. Still do. I know that she has several detractors, but five grade 1's in a row is nothing to sneeze at.
Let's see if she gets pace on dirt in the Oaks and then decide. Maybe Laragh will be her rabbit!!!

My guess is she comes east. Prado will get the mount after Gomez and Anderson play mercenary throughout the summer. Smith may very well be back on her in October.

Sort of reminiscent of when Baffert took Smith off Vindication and he never raced again.

What the hell, are you Mike Smiths freaking boyfriend? How dare someone wrong your baby?

No - that would be 10 point move up.

Are you still on Bailey's payroll? Thought Suzy had put a stop to it?

What are you going to do, rant on every rider who replaces Smith? You have a voodoo doll of Gomez? How come you didn't make a peep when your boyfriend replaced Rosario? Is Smith entitled to mounts for the rest of their life?
