I agree Mike Smith is a stand up guy, one of my favorites but he is just not the right jockey for this horse, If RA doesn't go in the Traver's I would like to see Calvin back on MTB, but Ramon was a nice suggestions as well, but I think with this type of race MTB needs a familar face on board

i don't think mine that bird can make that kind of move-he loses his closing kick when he has to start closing that far from the finish. it's what got him beat at belmont. it worked well for the winner, but not for him. had smith waited til MTB gets to his sweet spot-he may still have come up short. who knows? he won once when no one else fired, he's closed a few times since into the money-which is what closers do. i think he's just not that good, as was shown yesterday. he needs everything just right. |

Everyone....Lets say he got the perfect trip, all horses should get that benefit
lets say it happened and he won, it still would have been a very poor effort in a slow time and low figure, your supposed to bet that at 4/1 or so in the Travers? No thanks. What if the rider whats another half furlong or so he is going to draw off by 8-10 for a good figure effort? Come on, the kool aid is tasty in here.
