I mean, if that was the first horse race I ever saw in my life … and was watching with a few of my drunken homies … it'd be like … Hey, Rick, is that your horse … number eight? … LOL … dead last … LOL … look at that f'n slow pig … LOL … LOL



Ah, but the joke would've been on me the next time they came around … as my naive azz probably would've had a 20 spot on the 'uber fast' QR



Let there be NO doubts … the GREAT Cali mare has the heart of a CHAMPION

Again the chills, excellent read. Tell your homies, whats up? From Joey S

His Jaycito ride gave a whole new definition to wide trip. Just think if ol' Mike could have figured out a way for the horse to run straight earlier. He's at least on the board, IMO.

I know Mike Smith loves the ambulance path, but that was kind of ridiculous.

Of course he is a great jockey, he's in the Hall of Fame.

I don't want to argue about his talent as a rider, but one thing I am totally convinced of is that he loved that horse and is a pretty classy guy.

B/c he drinks wine with Chantal? He may well be classy but I don't know exactly what you are basing it on....The stories I've heard of him when he was in the Toga colony in the early 90's surely aren't too positive behind the scenes.

I think that more of a case of Jaycito getting hit with REAL DIRT for the very first time and no reacting well to it. Mike was just trying to keep him out of harms way.

Yeah, I know, but that was still one of the more bizarre moments of the weekend. He closed purty darn well though all things considered.

No problem, Rock

I lift with them a couple times a week


It's a good idea to stay on their good side.

Fixed that again for you.
