Here we go again.

What is your point with this post?? Really constructive.

Maybe you should stick with your brilliant pre race selections. The ones that bore us all to death.

What part about him sucks? He is in the hall of fame and is a very genuine human being. You must be talking about somebody else.

Well there was quite a discussion about his choke jobs in high profile races.  He added another one to the resume today and admitted post-race that he blew it.

That\'s right buddy.  3 winners and a 3rd today.  Puts over $ 28,000.00+ in his pocket for his work today.  I\'d say he had a pretty fair day.

Yippee Skippee.   As much as he tries, he can\'t lose with the best mounts all day long can he?

The joker almost blew it on Ravalo for crying out loud in what should of been a walkover.

Yes sekrah, he admitted he didn\'t ride MTB particularly well.

But when you say he regularly chokes in big races, you come off as....... it starts with an I.

JB, warn me, suspend me, I don\'t care.

This guy has won a lot of BC races, I guess you don\'t consider those \"Big Races\". He cpmpletely blew the ride on Giacomo. I mean c\'mon, that horse should have won by 5 lengths.

Almost blew it on Ravalo.  Explain how?? Just because a horse may appear to have others overmatched, doesn\'t always mean it happens. He does something that he supposedly never does. He split horses on the turn, came through up the rail saving all the ground, and won the race.

And this genius thinks he gave him a bad ride.

If you have managed to accomplish 5% in your profession of what Smith has accomplished in his, I would consider you pretty good at what you do.

I do know this...you are very accomplished at making ridiculous posts.

And to think the Smith bashing had ceased. Guess I\'m the I word.

Just saw the race...if there was a Jockey who could be criticized, you might start with Coa....the 111 lbs on the winner ...surely didn\'t hurt... nor did the 115 on BD.

That would take logic and common sense.  

Don\'t hold your breath.

I wasn\'t paying attention to Smith\'s ride, what exactly did he do wrong?

Meaning what Spa??

That after reading the 100th post about something ridiculous, I can\'t have an opinion??

BTW, there are plenty of others that feel the same way. Want to address them too??

So I guess you agree with the Ravalo comment??  The one that says he gave that horse a bad ride??  Did you actually watch any of the races discussed here??  Why don\'t you tell us all how he butchered the ride on Ravalo??

Its easy to ride a 50-1 shot and keep him covered up and a million miles back. When you are 4-5 its hard to ride the same way, even though the horse needs a certain type of ride.

LOL..

\"Mine That Bird was in the midst of a sustained rally in which he made up more than 10 lengths.\"

He flattened out with more than a furlong to go.
