Ok, look. Mike Smith rode him in his crushing win in the allowance race. His agent at the time, Steve Adika, chose to ride Devil His Due in the at the time NYRA Mile. In his defense, he was also riding Holy Bull who was coming back at age 4 to race. Bailey and Frieze got the mount and he rode him every race the rest of his career.
